#1 What does communication mean to you? In your own words, describe your personal definition of communication. Make sure that you explain why you feel this way. In doing so, however, keep in mind that your professor makes a big issue of communication and control/power. Is she correct about this? Do you see communication as something more or something less than participants’ efforts to control the communication contexts in which they find themselves?
Textbook: Chap 1 The Communication Process
Be a listening ethnographer! Using any listening event* of 20 minutes or more, conduct a deep analysis of the listening environment it exhibits. For example, what barriers to effective listening did you identify? Were there different forms of noise; how did they manifest themselves; how did they interfere with successful communication? What different kinds of listeners were in the room? What characteristics did they display that clued you into their listening styles? How did they influence that day’s communication? Were you able to identify different types of listening from different people? How did these folks aid or hinder effective communication that day?
*An acceptable listening event would include a sermon, a class lecture, a TED Talk, You Tube. There should also be an audience.
Textbook: Chap 5 Listening
Your text provides a definition of culture. Take its individual parts and explain how they manifest themselves in your everyday life. Here it is expressed in those individual parts:

· It is socially constructed and maintained through communication
· It limits as well as liberates us; it differentiates as well as unites us
· It defines our realities and thereby shapes the ways we think, feel, and act
Textbook: Ch 9 Intercultural Communication
