M1-Pre-Task

1.) WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ENTER A CONVERSATION?

As stated from the video, every time we enter a conversation, we do it for a specific intent

— particularly with the aim of inspiring, influencing, or affecting others, whether be it their

attitudes, behaviors, or feelings, thereby impacting the individuals surrounding us, which will

then result in the achievement of either small or great things. However, since communication

is amoral or can be used in both positive and negative ways, it can also be used for the goal of

exerting unfair and unscrupulous control or manipulation over another person.

2.) HOW WILL YOU DEFINE THE PURPOSE OF COMMUNICATION?

For me, the purpose of communication is to impart and exchange information or messages

with another individual or to large segments of people in order to establish shared meaning.

It can be in the intention of any of as follows: (1) to persuade, (2) to instruct, (3) to educate,

(4) to entertain, (5) to impress, or (6) to request.
