Sample Discussion Board Posting Sample Paragraph 2 Communication is the process of creating meaning through symbolic interaction. In modern society we can communicate even when we are in very different places. Technology has made it possible to make phone calls, send text messages, faxes, use social media, record videos, take photos and post those photos to social media sites. These are all forms of mediated communication. Mediated communication is sent via a mode other than face-to-face interaction. This also means that there are more opportunities to create false impressions, like pretending to be happy on social media, when we are lonely. When we communicate face-to-face, we can also hide our true feelings, but it is much more difficult to do so in person. Our non-verbal interaction provides clues that others can pay attention to. We may be dressed in a wonderful suit, but a lack of confidence may be revealed when others pay attention to our tone of voice or posture. Sample Paragraph 3 As a student it is important to manage my social media presence carefully, to ensure that future college transfer and professional opportunities are not impacted, when I post ideas or photos online. I am mindful when I post. I know that technology makes it possible for others to share my ideas millions of times. I try to slow down and think before I post. I don’t always succeed. Sometimes I like an image or a post without understanding the context and political or historical connotations of the message. My sister helps me to consider these ideas before I post, and I am grateful that she has been a mentor to help me to maintain a more positive online presence. Learning more about communication will help me to improve my face-to-face and mediated communication behaviors.
