    When a message producer alters or shifts the form of their message to meet the needs of a message receiver, this is called the Communication Accommodation Theory.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Communication Accommodation Theory states that when a message producer adjusts their message to suit the preferences or needs of the message receiver, it is known as accommodation. This theory recognizes that people often adapt their communication styles, language, and behaviors to be more similar to those they are interacting with, in order to establish rapport and understanding. Therefore, the statement that altering or shifting the form of a message to meet the needs of a message receiver is called the Communication Accommodation Theory is true.

This model helps to explain how signs are used to convey meaning and how interpretation occurs in communication.

It explores how individuals perceive and interpret reality, and how they communicate their understanding of it. Each epistemology has its own unique set of symbols and language that it uses to convey its ideas and concepts. These symbols and ways of communication are specific to each epistemology and are essential for understanding and engaging with their perspectives on knowledge and reality.

    The word "theory" is used the same way, in all three paradigms?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The word "theory" is not used the same way in all three paradigms. Each paradigm has its own understanding and usage of the term "theory". In the positivist paradigm, theory refers to a set of well-established principles or laws that explain phenomena. In the interpretive paradigm, theory is seen as a subjective and socially constructed understanding of reality. In the critical paradigm, theory is used to uncover power dynamics and social inequalities. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    What is the process that illustrates how we take apart reality, look at it In symbolic pieces, and break it down just so we can begin to understand just how false that reality is?

    • Deductive

    • Deconstruction

    • Emancipatory

    Correct Answer
    A. Deconstruction
    Explanation
    Deconstruction is the process of dismantling and analyzing reality by breaking it down into symbolic pieces. It aims to reveal the underlying assumptions and contradictions within a text or concept, ultimately showing the false nature of the perceived reality. Through deconstruction, we can gain a deeper understanding of the constructed nature of reality and challenge traditional interpretations.
