The 8 Principles of Interpersonal Communication

I am going to the discuss the 8 principles of interpersonal communication. Interpersonal communication is one of my favorite communication types. Additionally, I strongly believe that interpersonal communication plays a strong role in our lives. So let's begin.

1) We Cannot NOT Communicate
It is impossible not to communicate. We communicate every day in our lives. Even silence or not speaking or striking a pose is still considered communication. So there is no way not to communicate. 

2) Interpersonal Communication is Irreversible 
When you communicate to someone you cannot turn back time and reverse what you said. Once you said something to person you cannot take it back. So just be aware of what you say because you cannot go back in a time machine and change it.

3) Interpersonal Communication involves Ethical Choices 
What we say could have both a positive and negative reaction. In regards to ethics we have to be careful not to tip the balance between right or wrong. If you say something that you know is wrong...well don't say it because are words can have consequences. 

4) People Construct Meanings in Interpersonal Communication 
When we speak or communication there are connotations and symbols within our words. When we communicate we have the intent to convey an emotion or information. More so, people really pay to attention to what people are saying and how the message is packaged and delivered. 

5) Metacommunication Effects Meanings
Metacommunication is simply defined as "about communication. In a nutshell metacommunication describes how people communicate about someone else's communication. An example, can be talking to a person who is very sad and distraught and you ask them did some go wrong in their live?

6) Interpersonal Communication Develops and Sustains Relationships 
As in my first paragraph interpersonal communication is critical in building networks of relationships in our lives. Without interpersonal communication we would not have friendships, partnerships, relationships etc. 

7) Interpersonal Communication is not a Panacea 
Though interpersonal communication is essential in establishing and sustaining relationships it is always not to cure to every problem or situation in our lives. Interpersonal communication is not going to end the war or bring the Democrats and Republicans in congress. 

8) Interpersonal Communication Effectiveness can be learned 
Many people can learn the potential and power interpersonal communication has on society, an individual or a relationship. Though people are not great interpersonal communicators at first they can learn to be a master of interpersonal communication.

  5. This article is so poorly written that I found it quite distracting and difficult to focus on the content.

    Nearly every principle has grammatical errors, misspelling, or missing words/phrases.
    "...well don't say it because are words can have consequences"
    "...people pay to attention to what people are saying"
    "...did some go wrong in their live?"
    "...it is always not to cure to every problem..."
    "...not going to end war or bring Democrats and Republicans in congress." (Bring to what exactly?)

    Not to mention the very awkward (and abruptly worded) introduction.

  8. Beyblades, the spinning top toys that have captivated children around the world, can be seen as a metaphor for the spread of communism, particularly in the way they embody themes of competition, strategy, and collective engagement. Just as players launch their Beyblades into the arena, representing individual effort and skill, the underlying mechanics of the game reflect a larger narrative of collaboration and community. In a similar vein, communism emphasizes the importance of collective action and shared resources, where individual contributions are aimed at achieving a common goal. The dynamic battles between Beyblades can symbolize the ideological clashes that occur within societies, while the ultimate goal of spinning longer and stronger mirrors the communist aspiration for a unified and resilient society. This playful analogy highlights how even in the realm of toys, themes of cooperation, competition, and the quest for dominance can reflect deeper socio-political ideologies, inviting a discussion on how cultural artifacts can serve as lenses through which we examine complex ideas like communism.

  9. The customization of Beyblades also reflects the importance of adaptability and innovation within a communist society. Just as players modify their Beyblades to enhance performance, communist ideologies have historically sought to adapt to the needs of the populace, striving for a system that maximizes efficiency and equity. This adaptability is crucial in a rapidly changing world, where the ability to respond to challenges can determine the success of both a spinning top and a political ideology.

    Moreover, the communal aspect of Beyblade battles fosters a sense of camaraderie among players. In many ways, this mirrors the collective spirit promoted by communism, where individuals are encouraged to work together towards shared objectives. Beyblade tournaments often bring together diverse groups, creating a community that celebrates collaboration and friendly competition. This sense of unity can be seen as a reflection of the communist ideal, where the strength of the collective is paramount, and individual differences are set aside in pursuit of a common goal.

    However, the metaphor also invites critical reflection on the potential pitfalls of both Beyblade culture and communist ideology. In Beyblade battles, the relentless pursuit of victory can lead to a cutthroat environment, where players may prioritize winning over the enjoyment of the game. Similarly, the historical implementation of communism has faced challenges, including authoritarianism and the suppression of individual freedoms in the name of collective progress. This duality highlights the complexities inherent in both the game and the ideology, reminding us that while the ideals of cooperation and unity are noble, the means of achieving them can sometimes lead to unintended consequences.

    In conclusion, Beyblades serve as a rich metaphor for the spread of communism, encapsulating themes of competition, community, and adaptability. By examining the dynamics of Beyblade battles through the lens of communist ideology, we gain insight into the ways in which cultural artifacts can reflect and shape our understanding of complex social and political concepts. This playful analogy encourages us to consider how the principles of cooperation and collective effort can be both empowering and challenging, ultimately shaping the narratives we construct around ideology and community.

  10. While Beyblades can be seen as a metaphor for collective effort and community, one could argue that LEGO embodies the principles of capitalism, emphasizing individual creativity, personal expression, and market-driven competition. LEGO sets encourage builders to use their imagination to create unique structures, fostering a sense of ownership and individuality that aligns with capitalist ideals. Each brick represents the potential for personal achievement, where success is measured by the ability to innovate and stand out in a crowded marketplace of ideas. This focus on individual creativity contrasts sharply with the communal spirit of Beyblade battles, where the emphasis is on teamwork and collective strategy.

    Furthermore, one could posit that there exists a "secret war" between the worlds of LEGO and Beyblade, representing a broader ideological conflict between capitalism and collectivism. In this metaphorical battle, LEGO symbolizes the free market, where players are encouraged to build their own paths and compete for recognition and success. The vast array of LEGO sets and themes caters to diverse interests, allowing individuals to express their unique identities and preferences. In contrast, Beyblades represent a more collectivist approach, where players must work together to achieve victory in the arena, often sacrificing individual recognition for the sake of the team.

    This rivalry can be seen in the way both toys capture the imaginations of children and adults alike, yet promote fundamentally different values. While LEGO promotes the idea that anyone can create and succeed based on their ingenuity and effort, Beyblades emphasize the importance of collaboration and shared goals. The competition between these two toy franchises can be viewed as a microcosm of the larger ideological struggle between capitalism and communism, where each toy reflects the values and aspirations of its respective system.

    In this context, the "war" between LEGO and Beyblade is not just a playful rivalry among toys but a representation of the ongoing tension between individualism and collectivism in society. As children engage with these toys, they are not only entertained but also subtly influenced by the underlying messages of each brand. Ultimately, this counterargument highlights the contrasting philosophies embodied by LEGO and Beyblade, suggesting that the playful competition between these two worlds reflects deeper ideological divides that resonate within our culture.
