Interpersonal communication is defined by Kory Floyd as, “communication that occurs between two people within the context of their relationship and that, as it evolves, helps them to negotiate and define their relationship” (22). Interpersonal communication has numerous concepts and all of them appear in pop culture. To show I thought about a movie I has seen lately. I remember watching The Guilt Trip, I went over to Youtube.com and found the trailer for the movie. The movie is about a man who is traveling cross country to sell a product he created and ends up taking his mother along.

Many of the problems in relationships arise from the fact that people do not understand each other, their meaning is sometimes misunderstood and overlooked. As stated on the book, from 60 to 93% of our communications is done through non verbal communication, sometimes complementing what we are saying and at times doing the exact opposite.

Communication is an important element in video analysis. Ideally, a careful analysis of the different characters in the scene and their role in enhancing interpersonal communication is much more important.

The three-minute scene titled, "I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown" is a reflection of how self-concept, perception, and non-verbal communication work together in the context of dyadic communication.

Dr Jack MacKee is a rich, and self-center successful surgeon in a hospital. He and his wife are successful, but Jack works such long hours that he rarely has time to see their son and has somehow become emotionally painful to his wife. His "bedside manner" with his patients, who are in many cases seriously ill, is also quite lacking. When he operates on patients, he plays loud country and rock music, singing songs with his partner, Dr. Murray Kaplan. It is not particularly professional.

The chapter also shows how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is connected to communication. It shows how communication is directly related to physical health and relationship with others and how it can help us shape our self esteem and identify our potential. The chapter also discusses the eight principles of interpersonal communication. The first one is that it’s impossible not to communicate because we can communicate through our body language (eye roll, grimace, etc). The second is interpersonal communication is irreversible because once you say something to someone, it’s hard to take it back like in online communication. The third is interpersonal communication always has ethical implications because our actions and communication can affect others on how they feel about things or about themselves. The fourth is that people construct meanings in interpersonal communication because the important part of communication is based on how we interpret it. The fifth is that metacommunication affects meanings because we can communicate about nonverbal behaviour. The sixth is interpersonal communication develops and sustain

The purpose of this paper is not to teach you, or to show you how interpersonal communication is essential to everyday life at home or work. But, I am going to do my best to at least show you how essential communication skills are in all areas of life by using me as the example. My plan is to focus on some of the elements of interpersonal communication that we have been touching on this semester. While reading our Interpersonal Communications Book, three goals kept being highlighted that I personally wanted to accomplish by the end of course. I’m sure that by now have noticed that I keep referring to my topics as goals. The reason why I’m doing so is because I’m still on that learning curve…an ongoing process. If can recall back to all

“People study interpersonal communication to expound how relationship develop, remain stagnant, or disintegrate” (Heath & Bryant, 2000, p. 215).

We are in a world today where many cultures interact and option to remain independent is no longer a realistic option. The differences among cultures greatly affect interpersonal communication in innumerable ways. Culture passes from one generation to another through communication and this is immensely different from communicating with individuals of the same beliefs or values. In the Interpersonal Communication textbook, Joseph DeVito says, “Cultural differences exist throughout the interpersonal communication spectrum-from the way you use eye contact to the way you develop or dissolve a relationship.” Verbal and nonverbal messages are sent between individuals no matter what their beliefs or values are like so people need to understand how to make the right choices and send a positive message. Interpersonal communication is an important aspect of life for many reasons such as the fact that we can better understand ourselves and why people act and behave the way

Prior to this course, I was not fully aware of what interpersonal communication involved. I knew that communication could be verbal and nonverbal, meaning a message could be conveyed through both speaking and body language. Interpersonal communication involves various elements, a sender, receiver, context, channel, and message. While interpersonal communication is a cycle, it involves the formulation and understanding of messages instead of just the sending and receiving. Communication can be synchronous, such as a face-to-face interaction, or asynchronous, such as a text message that is not received until a later time.
