You are learning about how perception affects social situations. We use four types of cognitive schemata (schemas) to make sense of perceptions: prototypes, personal constructs, stereotypes, and scripts. We apply schemata to organize and interpret experiences in our lives. The schemata shape our perceptions and influence how we communicate.
Question 1:
Find a recent example in the media that features a stereotype. (Your choice of media can be a commercial, scene in a movie/TV show, social media video, etc. that you saw in the past year. )
Explain how the stereotype influenced the social situation in the media clip.
Cite reference for your media clip
Communication shapes our personal and professional lives, as well as our culture.
Question 2:
Why is it important to study communication? Explain the role of communication in your life, and the role communication will have in your future career (Accounting)
Your answer should be reflective of your personal thoughts and experiences
