These fundamentals are the common ground that tie together the many topics and subject matters covered by the study and discipline of communication. They are also the basis of the unique contribution of the communication discipline to the social sciences.  \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor, researcher and theorist Robert E. Sanders starts by focusing on what is unique about human communication and moves on to an examination of the complexities of scientific inquiry in the social sciences in general and in the communication discipline specifically. At the heart of the matter is the fact that humans are thinking beings who can make choices and therefore are not entirely predictable. This points towards new topics and questions that are likely to arise as the discipline evolves.   \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSanders\u0026rsquo; approach leads to recognition of the fact that communication is at the center of how humans build our ways of life and participate together. By focusing on the underlying fundamentals that give rise to the discipline\u0026rsquo;s topics and subject areas, \u003ci\u003eThe Work and Workings of Human Communication\u003c/i\u003e encourages students to engage in independent thought about what they want to contribute by:  \u003c/p\u003e \u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; font-size: medium; margin-top: 0in; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; overflow: visible;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.25in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; overflow: visible;\"\u003eEmphasizing the importance of communication in creating, sustaining or changing--and participating in--our ways of life on an interpersonal level and on a societal level  \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.25in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; overflow: visible;\"\u003eRecognizing that human communication is inherently collaborative; people affect situations by interacting \u003ci\u003ewith \u003c/i\u003eothers, not acting \u003ci\u003eon \u003c/i\u003eothers   \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.25in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; cursor: text; overflow: visible;\"\u003eExplaining the history, current agendas and possible future of the social science side of the Communication discipline  \u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eA perfect resource for new graduate students in introductory communication courses who have an interest in the social science side of the discipline, \u003ci\u003eThe Work and Workings of Human Communication \u003c/i\u003eis also highly valuable for undergraduate communication and liberal arts students who don\u0026rsquo;t possess a background in the discipline. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e |
