Chapter 5 (Part A)

The next chapter that we are going to learn is all about verbal message. The first thing we learn in the class is message. Message is an interaction among the communication using verbal or noon verbal message. Verbal means by using words to decode your message and non verbal is by using gestures, or body movements. For example, deaf people use body language and finger gesture to communicate with each other.

Furthermore, the lecture had taught us about principles of verbal messages.

1. Message meaning are in people
2. Meaning are denotative and connotative
3. Meaning depend on context or abstraction
4. Messsage vary in politeness
5. Message vary in assertiveness
6. Message can deceive

Other than that, there are 4 types of lies we learn that dat which is pro-social deception, self enhancing deception, selfish deception and anti-social deception. Pro-social deception is to achieve something good. For example, you lie to someone in business to earn more money. Self-enchancing deception is to make yourself look good. For example, you lie to everyone that you got a very good result because you want others to know that you study very hard. Selfish deception is to protect yourself. For example, you lie your parents that you did not take the money just because that you want to protect yourself from being cane. Anti-social deception is to harm someone. You lie to your friend's girlfriend that he betray and cheated on you because you want them to break up.

Then we learn about disconfirmation and confirmation. Disconfirmation is completely ignoring the sense's message in his presence.  Confirmation is letting the sender say what he or she wanted to say and at the same time acknowledging the message and the sender. Lastly we learn about rejection. unwilling to accept something that a person says.
