INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION


  Interpersonal communication is defined by communication scholars in numerous ways, though most definitions involve participants who are interdependent on one another, have a shared history. It can be categorized into two main categories: Direct and Indirect channels of communication.

  Channels means mode of communicating the messages.

  Direct channels are those that are obvious and can be easily recognized by the receiver. In this category are the verbal and non-verbal channels of communication. Verbal communication channels are those that use words in some manner, such as written communication or spoken communication. Non-verbal communication channels are those that do not require words, such as certain facial expressions, controllable body movements, colour, sound etc. 

  Indirect channels are those channels that are usually recognized subliminally or subconsciously by the receiver, and not under direct control of the sender. This includes kinesics or body language, which reflects the inner emotions and motivations rather than the actual delivered message.

  Participants are the communicators who are both senders and receivers.

  Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation (FIRO) is a theory of interpersonal relations, introduced by William Shultz in 1958.

  According to the theory, the three dimensions of interpersonal relations are necessary and sufficient to explain most human interaction are called Inclusion, Control and Affection. Shultz believed that FIRO scores in themselves were not terminal, and can and do change, and did not encourage typology.

  Inclusion means that how a person who want to participate or to join a group of people. In wanting inclusion, he or she hopping that someone would call them to join the team. This means that they have a desire wanting other people to call for them. But in expressing inclusion, they will walk to a team offer to join the team.

  Control means that mostly have something to do with respect to control and power. It has to do with being on top or on the bottom. In expressing control, they tend to be a leader that try to control and order people to follow their order/s. In wanting control, they will always have “you decide, I’ll follow” in their mind.

  Affection means that either receives or gives the distribution of love and care to someone or from someone. In wanting affection, they have needs to feel warm and like people to be close to them. In expressing affection, they tend to be close and personalize with other people. They will try to take care and give support to others.

ICT AND MALAYSIAN SOCIETY



  Every day and night Malaysians are using Internet to perform different type of routine task, furthermore Internet has become one part of our life. Internet is a place where Malaysians usually engaging in social interaction and communication .By using the Internet services, the users can meet up with new people and also allowed the users to post out their opinion towards different type of topics. Besides that, many Malaysians are using Internet as resources to get more knowledge or using it as a tool to repair.

  In the modern country, Internet has become their education tools because of its unlimited information. Learning directly through web page has prepared more flexible courses compare to the conventional courses. People who interested in upgrading themselves by using e-learning will gain more benefits because they do not have to be in the same location at the same time, so that they could save up more time for their family. They can gain the information at any time, anywhere based on their schedules. Because this function is very new and green to the local worker, furthermore the whole course is based on reading information which without any practical practices, so it is still not popular among our country.

  But let says if ICT have different levels, and me as a Malaysian,  you ask me how is what is my level about ICT? I can tell you that I'm still a....."NEWBIE"!!! This is because four months ago, I not interact with any digital things often-accept my handphone. When I further my study to university, that is my university now-UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA PERLIS,UniMAP, I had exposed to ICT much more than you can imaging. Thus, now I know how to create blog to share my experiences. I think this is enough for this time, next time then more about my experiences. Hope we meet again.
