Communication is the transfer of information from one entity to another. It involves a sender encoding a message and selecting a channel to transmit it to a receiver who decodes it. Effective communication requires considering the audience, using clear and simple encoding, choosing an appropriate channel, and paying attention to feedback to ensure understanding. Barriers can occur at any stage and should be addressed, such as avoiding jargon, ensuring context is provided, and being mindful of time demands on the receiver.
The document discusses improving communication clarity. It provides tips for selecting words carefully, placing words and phrases in a logical order, limiting vague words like "it" and "there", and writing in short, clear sentences. Examples show how minor word or phrasing changes can significantly improve clarity and understanding. The overall message is that taking time to rewrite and refine communications can help ensure the intended meaning is conveyed precisely.

This document discusses representations of gender in media, specifically focusing on the game show "Take Me Out". It notes that in this show, there is one man who chooses between about 20 women based solely on their physical appearance, as he knows nothing about them personally. Some may criticize this concept as it presents women as objects to be judged on their looks alone. The document then discusses how media representations can transmit values and ideologies through the choices made in portraying people, such as focusing on their gender, and how stereotypes can be constructed to enhance certain personality traits or physical features.
The document discusses the communication process and barriers to effective communication. It describes the 6 key elements of communication as sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback, and context. It then explains the 8 stages of the communication process as stimulus, ideation, encoding, transmission, reception, decoding, understanding, and action/feedback. Finally, it outlines 7 common barriers to communication: physical, perceptual, emotional, cultural, language, gender, and interpersonal barriers. It provides examples of each barrier and suggests being aware of these barriers and tailoring communication appropriately can improve effectiveness.

How Central Planning In Socialism Can Lead To AutPatricia Adams
The document discusses how central planning in socialism can lead to authoritarianism. It notes that central planners control resource allocation rather than markets and consumers, which gives them immense power over the economy. Over time, this can allow central planners and the political elites that control them to consolidate power and become authoritarian to maintain their control and privileges. Eventually, central planning may erode political pluralism, private property rights, and individual liberties.
This document discusses several models of communication:
- Aristotle's model focuses on the speaker taking charge and carefully crafting a message to influence listeners.
- Berlo's model considers the emotional aspects of communication and includes source, message, channel, and receiver.
- Shannon and Weaver's model describes how a message travels from source to transmitter to signal to recipient to destination.
- Schramm's model emphasizes encoding and decoding processes and the importance of feedback.
- Westley and McLean's model suggests communication begins with receiving external messages rather than sending them.

The Communicator: Objectives and CredibilityMiXvideos
The communicator aims to accomplish objectives and maintain credibility with their audience. Objectives should be specific, such as wanting 10 customers to purchase a product that month by describing its top three features. The appropriate style depends on whether the communicator simply informs, persuades, consults, or collaborates with the audience. Tone also matters and should fit the topic, objective, and audience. Credibility refers to how the audience perceives the communicator based on their position, relationships, expertise, image, and values. Techniques can enhance initial and acquired credibility.

The document discusses research conducted on Generation Y/Millennials and their relationship with money. Key findings include:
- Savings is not a high priority for most in this age group, who focus on meeting daily needs and spending on "silly things."
- Most money is spent on rent, food, clothes, dining out, and everyday necessities rather than long-term savings goals.
Two concepts for incentivizing savings are presented: Tracklet, a debit card that tracks spending and notifies the user when a savings threshold is reached, and Pity Bank, a system where users care for a digital pet that represents their savings, rewarding them emotionally for increased contributions.

2. Kommon Sense is a strategic
communication tool whose mechanics
is predicated on principles and skills
such as; Communication, Strategic
Thinking, Creative Thinking, Emotional
Intelligence, Conflict Management,
Negotiation Skills, Commerce,
Personality Profiling, Marketing,
Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Values,
Ethics and Morality. Kommon Sense
was invented by Victor Prince Dickson
in 2012 and published by El-spice
Media Group in Jos, Plateau State of
Nigeria In 2013.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
INTRODUCTION:
3. Maze
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
The overall objective of Kommon Sense is to simplify the complex
learning process of strategic communications into a fulfilled
experience that can be domesticated and applied in different
sectors and at multiple levels.
4. w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
• Navigating your way through this maze of principles in one
sitting is what makes Kommon Sense the best learning tool for
strategic communication in the world.
5. • Inside a pack of Kommon Sense there are 72 Cards of
different values. Each of these cards represents,
captures and symbolizes major issues that have direct
relevance and consequence in our modern day life,
issues such as Justice, Truth, Love, Marriage, Freedom,
Religion, Sex, Money, Power, Life and Death. Etc.
• To play Kommon Sense you must understand two key
things; the key words/ elements and the rules. And this
you will find in every pack of Kommon Sense.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
6. STAKE HOLDERS:
• These are the preferred name for those who will participate
in this strategic communication duel. This can be as few as
two persons or as much as ten, irrespective of expertise,
social status, profession and age. However, it is important
to note that even numbers makes the voting process easier
to count whenever the need for voting arises.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
7. FIELD OF CONTEXT:
• Because Kommon Sense is a tool to be applied in and at
different levels and on multiple subject matters, there is
the need to always define the context of the play and this
must be a collective agreement by all the stake holders.
For instance, Entrepreneurship can be a field of play, in
which case before any connection is made; this will serve
as the contextual reference. Either that or you can decide
to go universal and open the connections to a universal
context.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
8. CONNECTION:
• In Kommon Sense, connection means you must find
the value and the meanings of how one card relates to
another. This means that you must establish these
relationships with adequate explanation based on the
agreed field of context because it is your context that
qualifies your connections.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
9. TIME ZONE:
• In Kommon Sense moderation is key. In other to
moderate the connections by stakeholders, there is
need to decide on a time limit for connections.
• This can be 1, 2 or 3 minutes.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
10. VOTING:
• Kommon Sense also is predicated on democratic principles.
Therefore when there is a conflict of agreement over
connections among stakeholders, a vote is called for by the
simple raise up of hands in support or against. The simple
majority carries the day, meaning that that connection has
been accepted by the house even if a few disagree.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
11. GO TO SCHOOL:
• In Kommon Sense, ‘go to school’ is a call to action when a
stakeholder fails to make an accepted connection. It is
like a consequence, at this point the stakeholder retrieves
the card he/she played and pick one from the deck of
cards at the centre. Symbolizing the need to learn and
improve.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
12. • From your share of cards connect a card to the one at the
centre.
• Explain this connection in clear terms.
• Allow stakeholders to respond to your connections: this
response may come in form of acceptance or call for further
clarification or outright rejection. IF your connection is
accepted, the process continues to the next person, if not, you
have only two more opportunities to re-explain your
connection and if on your third attempt you fail to connect,
then you retrieve your card and go to school. In the event that
some agree and others don’t you take a vote.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
13. KOMMON SENSE:
• In a pack of Kommon Sense, there are 5
master cards, called Kommon Sense.
• If you are lucky to have any of these, when
you play it, the next stakeholder by you
must go to school twice (pick 2 cards from
the deck) but if the stakeholder has the
Kommon Sense master card, they are at
liberty to use it to cancel yours.
• At that point we say Kommon Sense cancels
Kommon Sense.
KEY CARDS IN KOMMON SENSE:
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
14. LIFE AND DEATH;
• In a pack of Kommon Sense there are
two cards, Life and Death.
• If a stakeholder has Death among
his/her share of cards, you can decide to
play and that ends the game abruptly
without any winner,
• but if any of the other stakeholders has
Life, they are at liberty to use it to
resurrect the process by placing it on
the Death card.
w w w . k o m m o n s e n s e c a r d s . b l o g s p o t . c o m
15. MONEY:
• In a pack of Kommon Sense there are only two
Money cards, if you are lucky to draw any, you must
apply it wisely.
• To play money you buy any card of your choice
preferably a card among your cards, since there is
only one card for every issue, this will force
everyone to go to school before you play your
requested card.
• It is a subtle way of forcing all the stakeholders to go
to school at the same time and still get to play
another card of yours.
• However, before they embark on the school, you
must explain to them how money can buy what you
are demanding for, failure to do so takes you to
school and you lose the opportunity to play.

• Experience has shown that during this strategic duel in
communication, meanings, values, convictions and intents,
that there is a great release of critical depth and profound
connections, so much that every time Kommon Sense is
applied stakeholders are always thrilled by the depth and
scope of their wisdom. In other to capture this deep thoughts
and reflections, we have introduced a process where each of
your connections or others can be documented for further
reference, study, and development and also for a possible
inclusion in our publication, Kommon Sense Anthologies… a
collection of the sixth sense.
17. • FINALLY, you must note that connections goes beyond
just verbal expressions, so for you to connect
successfully you must be attuned to the stakeholders,
their sensibilities, their convictions, value systems,
personality, culture and tradition, their dreams and
future. The ability to coordinate these key sensibilities is
the learning process where you begin to gather relevant
knowledge and connection skills and from then onward
grow in the ART OF STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS.
