The purpose of this assignment is to help you understand how the five principles of interpersonal communication function in real life, by listening to a “real-world” (albeit fictionalized, but still realistic) example of two people communicating. Listen to this section of the This American Life podcast that is linked from this week’s module, and note that you only need to listen to the section from about 23:00 to about 28:00 (the two versions of the fictional phone conversation). Linked here: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/462/own-worst-enemy/act-two-2 After listening, write a 1 1/2 to 2 pg. (double-spaced) discussion about how the two versions of this conversation illustrate the Five Principles of Interpersonal Communication discussed on pgs. 16 through 18 of your textbook, if you have the soft-cover print version, or in the online version of the textbook, Section 1-3a “Communication Principles”. (These are also covered in the PowerPoint on slides 9 and 10.) In other words, how does this conversation illustrate ways in which interpersonal communication can be intentional or unintentional, the fact that it is impossible not to communicate, that communication is irreversible, etc. (covering all Five Principles of Interpersonal Communication)? Attach and submit as a Word document attachment–do NOT type or cut-and-paste your discussion into the Submission box.
