301--Theory

All righty, gang, now we get into something we can really chew on. Theory behind speech comm is backed by science: psychology, sociology, medicine, and behavioralism. Because of your grade level, we're going to start simple. You should have read about Michel Foucault in your book over the weekend, so I have one question for discussion today...and you can bet your boots we're going to discuss the heck out of it.

In a sender/message/receiver paradigm...who benefits?

"I think Elizabeth's right, it does depend on the message. Sometimes just the sender benefits, other times just the receiver and then there are times when both parties benefit." D'anna rests her chin on her hands, thinking for a moment. "I suppose the primary beneficiary though would be the sender. Once the message is sent, he or she no longer has to harbour the information. That becomes the responsibility of the receiver."
