After learning all about communication during a class discussion, I can confidently say that I understand the three types of communication- Individual, Group and Mass. I can now thoroughly explain each type of communication and provide specific details about each one. So, I would say that this lecture was very interesting because we broke down each type of communication and got to focus on how each one works and each of it's specific processes.
I really found it interesting when we focused on specific examples of mass communication. For example, we went over how radio is an example of mass communication. We discussed how the process of mass communication worked on a radio level and I found that very fascinating. We got to learn about how mass communication begins with stimulus, then goes to encoding, transmission, decoding, and lastly internalization. Then, we learned how each of those steps fits in with our examples. We learned that those steps are what make up mass communication which I found pretty cool because I had never heard of that before.
I also found it very interesting when we discussed that we use individual and group communication on a daily basis without even realizing it! So after listening to this lecture on communication, I can now say that from now on when I am communicating with others- whether it's posting on Instagram, texting a friend, or listening to someone give a presentation in class- I will now think of it on the communication level.
