Application: Communication and Identity
At the most basic level, when we communicate we create and send a message to another party who receives it and then responds to us. However, the process of communication goes much deeper. When communication occurs, it shapes the identity of the persons involved, much like a sculptor shapes a piece of clay, wood, or stone into a statue. As you engage in academic communication, you take on the identity of student to analyze the other identities within yourself.
