Bryan University BA100 – Business Communications
9. Think of a recent transaction you had with a business person or with a staff person
at your school. Describe the contexts of your communication, from the larger
context (business-economic, sociocultural, and historical) down to the personal
(to the extent you know them). How did these influence the outcome of your
communication? (LO7) ANSWER- Only recent transaction I can think of is when
I made a payment for enrollment. Basically to initiate the fact that I’m an official
college student! The communication was broad and it was self-explanatory.
10. Using this chapter’s discussion of communication, explain how people reading or
hearing the same message can disagree on its meaning. (LO7, LO8) ANSWER-
Everyone has their own background and context that they overlay on top of what
they hear. It’s our jobs as communicators to consider that perspective and to adjust
the way we communicate accordingly. If we do, we stand a better chance of
persuading them to agree with our point of view. It’s not easy, but the reality is
that your outcomes – at work and at home – will improve if you focus on what
people “hear” rather than what you say.
