Problem:
Choose a communication situation you recently experienced at your workplace or other organization you are affiliated with. Use the Human Communication process to analyze why or why not a shared reality was experienced as an end result. Summarize your experience and consider the following items in your analysis:
-Identify the source and the receiver.
-What was the message and what type of message function was it serving?
-How was it encoded?
-How was it decoded?
-What channel was used to transmit the message?
-What type of noise was experienced?
-Comment on the competencies, fields of experience, and culture of the participants involved.
-Identify the communication context of this situation.
-What was the intended effect versus the actual effect of the message?
-Was a shared reality constructed? If not, what needed to change?
