Hi

Hi I reverted your edits on Communication because the content as it was shouldn't have been added to the article. But if you like, here is what you wrote:

The above definition has been well criticised. I would like to suggest a different one. Communication is engaging in strategies directed at reducing or preventing ambiguity. In order to resolve or prevent ambiguity, interlocutors question the explanatory capacity of their own understandings. This act of questioning one’s own frames of references stimulates their re-examination, restructuring and, as a result, change in those understandings. It is this transforming power of communication, or dialogue that makes communication such a valuable tool of progress. Some aspects of communication that this definition implies are: (a) communication is goal oriented; (b) communication is about managing complex value systems; (c) communication facilitates learning to manipulate those value systems; (d) communication takes place in a complex world of values, not between the encoder and decoder. The ideas are embedded in the literature of poststructural criticism (e.g. Bourdieu, Calhoun, Bakhtin).

and you are welcome to post this on Talk:Communication. Reply to me here if you have any questions. Thank you.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 08:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi

I spent the whole day writing on COMMUNICATION

I understand someone is functoning as a gatekeeper of wiki but currently we have on wiki this ancient stuff about encoder and decoder, Communication 1 Primary School texbook 1951. Please help me and tell me about the process by which we can CHANGE that primary school text from 1951 to something more modern?

So in short - what will happen to my article and will it have an impact and therefore WHY I DID BOTHER?

I guess many of us have ths question

Thnak you cheers :-)

Maybe you could copy and paste what you wrote above and paste it here. You may not get a reply until tomorrow but it might be worth it.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 08:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
