MYTH OR REALITY? Underline or circle the following myths and realities of communication. Identify whether this is a myth or a reality, and explain why. .1 We communicate only when we consciously and deliberately choose to communicate. Myth <or> Reality We can communicate unconsciously as well. For example I ask someone to take out the trash but they do not do it after an hour. I grab the bag and sigh. I have unconsciously conveyed that I was frustrated that it did not get done. Words do not mean the same things to the listener as they do to the speaker. Myth <or> Reality Words get misunderstood a lot between two people. I can say one thing but the listener may hear something different. We communicate primarily with words. Myth <or> Reality This is tricky we do communicate mostly with words but our body language is also a form of communication Nonverbal communication is not perceived solely through sight. Myth <or> Reality This is true nonverbal communication is seen by text message, email, letters. Communication is not a one-way activity. Myth <or> Reality Again this is tricky because mostly it is not a one-way activity but sometimes it can be. Example is one person is talking and the other just does not care and has nothing to say. The message we send is identical to the message received by the listener. Myth <or> Reality Most often times something we say can be misunderstood and the listener does not understand You can never give someone too much information. Myth <or> Reality I think you can give someone to much information and they just get confused and do not know how to handle the information or process it.
