And when I say "communication," it means both parties are speaking, and -- most importantly -- both parties are receptive to what's being communicated.Both parties need to be "listening" as well. Communication is a two way street, with give and take..and while receptiveness is needed, so is the need to listen to what is being said AND what may not be said.
Actually, I was trying to be inclusive of that. (See? We're displaying an example of this right now! ;-))
I remember talking about the Shannon-Weaver communication model when I was in grad school, and the model has always stuck with me. Granted, the model was originally designed for telecommunication, but it has made its way into social communication theory topics as well.
