The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to which characteristic of the communication model?
a) Sending and receiving are usually simultaneous
b) meanings exist in and among people
c) environment and noise affect communication
d) channels make a difference
e) none of the above
Answer:
The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to:
b) meanings exist in and among people.
Explanation:
According to the transactional communication model, meanings reside in the people involved in communication. People are the ones who express and interpret meanings. The messages themselves, be them verbal or nonverbal, do not have an inherent meaning. Therefore, for communication to occur satisfactorily, meaning needs to be successfully conveyed and understood.
Sergei uses his first two wishes to wish for 1) to cure the growing cancer in his sister's lungs and 2) to cure 'Sveta's boy' (his own son) who has an ailment which the doctors think will not allow him to mentally develop beyond his age of three years. We can infer from these wishes that Sergei is a kind-hearted, humble individual who is later hardened in life by his surrounding situations, i.e. living in Russia, as the son of a Zionist etc. We know that of the three wishes that Sergei could ever be granted by the magic goldfish, he uses the first two to help those around him, with little regard for his own self or his personal aspirations.
