As our textbook posits, people determine meaning and thus, words can be decoded differently by people.
This is one of the central issues a public speaker must face to prevent miscommunication: "As speakers, we must do our best to craft messages that take our audience into account and use audience feedback to determine whether the meaning we intend is the one that is received" (Stand Up, 2011, p. 12).
Our main strategy as speakers, then, is to identify our audience feedback. There are three types of feedback, according to Schramm: direct, moderately direct, and indirect (Stand Up, 2011, p. 9). Please provide examples of each type of feedback. Don't use examples written in the textbook!
