Answer 1

Answer:

In order to answer your question, I need to re-frame it in moral and ethical terms, for only then can I answer your question on a firm foundation.

This foundation goes beyond the common—especially in the Western world—bifurcation between good and bad, moral and immoral, since cultural differences across the globe make this bifurcation seem, well, very “Western.”

In more-Eastern terms, morality and immorality are couched and bifurcated differently according to shame and honor, not right and wrong. Contributing to this different-to-Western-eyes-way-of-thinking is the importance of a collective identity in matters of family, work, religion, schooling, friendships, achievements, and much more.

With these cultural differences in mind, then, perhaps we are on surer footing when we think of communication as comprising elements of both good and bad, and shame and honor (not either/or but both/and).

Common ground between the Western and Eastern perspectives, then, might be the effects which communication has on people, both individually and collectively. Some communication is both good and honorable, while some communication is bad and shameful.

The notions of the building-up of people and the tearing-down of people might be a good place to start appreciating communication’s advantages and disadvantages. From that perspective, then, the primary advantage of communication is its ability to build up, edify, and honor people, both individually and collectively.

Conversely, the primary disadvantage of communication is its ability to tear down and derogate people, contributing to their being encouraged to think and do (or to believe and act out) what is both wrong and shameful.

A collective identity or ethos may not be as significant in the West as it is in the East, but it exists universally. Americans, for example, have pride of country. Holidays such as the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day comprise a way of touting the values which hold us together as a people, while holidays such as Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays and Martin Luther King Day tout the value of individual accomplishment which have mirrored what is good and honorable in our exemplary leaders.

Though not familiar with the holiday “system” in Eastern countries, I can only surmise that it exists and that it reflects the countries’ values, writ both large and small, collectively and individually, right and wrong. Here’s some proof:

[The following table contains excerpts from the complete list found here.[1] You’ll see right away there are commonalities in the ones listed, and those commonalities pertain to values writ both large and collectively (e.g., Independence Day) and small and individually (St. Patrick’s Day).]

A communication network refers to the method that employees paśs on information to other employees in an organization.

Let's take a look at four different types: the wheel network, chain network, circle network, and all-channel network.

$⟶ \: wheel \: network$m

A wheel network is a style of communication where the leader is the only one to receive or give communication.

$⟶Chain \: network$

Chain network of communication is one in which communication flows along the chain of command. In other words, it is a pattern of communication network in which a person can communicate with immediate superior and subordinate.
