Communication and social status
There’s no doubt that we do need communication in our lives, we are social creature, we need interaction with others. We do business with communication, and communication also reflect our social status. The more communicative and honorable persons are, could be able to be segmented by their social status.
A number of efforts to try systemized main functions of mass communication, which was originally begun by Lasswell (1948) which gives a summary / conclusion about the basic functions of communication as follows: control environment; relationship (correlation) parts of the community in responding to the environment; transmission of cultural heritage . Function of social control refers to efforts to spread information and objective interpretation of the events occurring within and outside the social environment with the aim of social control in order to avoid the things that are not desirable. Social correlation function refers to efforts to provide interpretation and information linking a social group with other social groups or between one view with another view with the aim of reaching consensus. The function of socialization refers to the efforts of inheritance of values from one generation to another, or from one group to another.
Charles Robert Wright (1960) adds entertainment functions in mass communication. Jay Black and Frederick C., Whitney (1988) defines functions of mass communication:
(a) to inform,
(b) to entertain,
(c) to persuade, and
(d) transmission of the culture.
Some definitions of “advanced” mass communication functions mentioned above are expressly although different, but in fact have in common and complementary definitions of Lasswell function of mass communication, along with the development of products (messages) that was delivered by the mass media itself.
Beside that, communication are taking important roles in organization. Without communication, organization doesn’t exists. The importance of communication have been applied and practice by lots of people, one of them is Lillian Glass, she took advantages of communication by coaching lots of people including movie stars and popular singers to increase their level of communication. Communication does reflect your social status, so pick your word carefully.
