1. How do you differentiate the types of communication in relation to communication mode?

- The Verbal-Non-Verbal communication is a type of communication that uses oral, voice, gestures,
expressions and actions. For example is when communicating with someone through talk-to-talk, or
using only actions like what mute people do. On the other hand, visual communication is a type of
communication that uses figures, images, letters, symbols, shapes, numbers, and other electronic
figures and representations (e.g. emojies and GIF) that transmits through what we see. For example is
presenting histogram and picture while reporting, or sending emojies and GIF to you chats in social
media.

2. How can visual communication enhance the message conveyed by a speaker? Cite a situation when it
is best to employ visual communication.
- Visuals can be very helpful for making communication more understandable and accessible. Using
visuals in communication will help your receiver to easily understand what are you trying to convey, it
addens the meaning and easily demonstrate your ideas. For instance, when you can't express your
thoughts through words or actions, you can just present any visuals that would describe what you want
to convey and express, by that, people will understand you even without speaking and acting.

3. What are the types of communication in relation to context? How do they differ from one another?

- The first type of communication in relation to context is Intrapersonal Communication, which is a type
of communication that occurs between your own self, from the word "intra" means inner or within, so
when you communiting to yourself to make yourself feel confident, motivated, inspired, and
compliment is an example of this communication. The second type is Interpersonal Communication,
which means a communication happening between you and others, from the word "inter" means
interacting, so when you are communicating to someone either it is a short or long communication is an
example of this communication. The third type is Extended Communication, which is a communication
occurs in visual world like social media or internet, it uses technological communication instruments and
softwares (e.g. Cellphone, videocall, audio, and skype) to make the communication interchangeable.
Fourth type of communication is Organizational Communication, which is a communication between
individuals within association or group of people with the same interest and goals, communication
between a group of same profession (e.g. teachers, doctors, and enginners) is the example of this
communication. Last type of communication in relation to context is Intercultural Communication,
which simply means communication happening between group of people with religious beliefs,
linguistic, ethnic and professional background.

4. How can you listen to speaker’s opinions through electronic media without easily swayed into
accepting their opinions?

- Media is the advance way of communication, it is very wide and accessible to all. Media contains false
and true information, so it can easily fool someone in just the tip of finger. I can listen to speaker's
opinion through electronic media without easily swayed into accepting the opinions by making an
evaluation about the speaker and content of his/her opinion. I know that opinion might not the same
with others opinion and it might be false and wrong. But the thing is, I can now easily search for the
reliable information, so I cannot be easily fooled by anyone.

5. Of the four approaches employed in formal organization structure, which do you think is the best?
Cite situations which will call for the use of each approach. Give one advantage of each.

- As for me, I think the best approach employed in formal organization structure is the Crosswise
communication. Since it is a communication occurs between employees coming from different units and
department but working in same level, they can easily share what learnings and ideas they have from
their own units and department, the ideas coming from each of them become the new idea for each of
them – more learnings and ideas acquire. I think the best advantage for this type of approach is the lack
of pressure; pressure that you don't need to be very formal like talking to your you boss; pressure that
some employers will look you small; and pressure like talking to same level as you but thinking that they
are still higher than you.

6. Would you know any strategy or method by which you can reduce the complexity of understanding
another culture? Do you think it will work with your current set of foreign friends?

- For me, the best strategy or method that can reduce complexity of understanding another culture is
doing research, background exploration, and mantain etiquette about the particular culture. Doing
research before interacting with them will lessen the ignorance and curiosity about their norms and
beliefs. Making background exploration like asking someone related to them or already exprience
interacting with them will let you know what should you do and expect upon interacting with them.
Lastly, maintaining etiquette will make yourself more comfortable and convenient socializing with them
because you already know what etiquettes they have and what etiquettes of yours should not be
applicable to them.

7. How do you differentiate formal communication from informal communication in relation to purpose
and style? Provide situations to illustrate the differences.
