continually changing world of experience of which he or she is the center Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them 10 and of the messages others send them But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication A student for instance may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment I know my teacher doesn t like the fact that I don t agree with his opinions and that s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class The teacher might say the opposite Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person s view is wrong The concept of serf originates in communication Through verbal and nonverbal symbols a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others You establish self image The sort of person you believe you are by how others think of you Positive negative and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people In a more obvious way communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share So the communication begins with the self as defined largely by others and involves others as defined largely by the self Communication Occurs almost every minute of your life If you are not communicating with yourself thinking planning reacting to the world around you you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior Even if the other person did not intend a message for you you gather observations and draw specific conclusions A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you A third person smiles perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently and you believe that he is attracted to you We are continually picking up meanings from others behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them More often than not you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that You may have told the other person 11 that you were sorry for your statement You may have made a joke out of your rude statement Nonetheless your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others Communication cannot be reversed 倒退 nor can it be repeated When you tried to re create the atmosphere the conversation and the setting nothing seemed right Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results Paragraph outline Supporting Details Communication begins with the self People are somewhat products of others treatment and messages we are always 71 in communication with others Communication 72 others Experiences of others help children learn to accept roles
