The receiver’s response is vital in communication. Transaction. focuses on sharing a meaning rather than sending a message. –You send messages to receiver –receiver sends them back to you.

25. 25 Communication Communication is not simply a one way street. –Time of day, your mental readiness (and your receiver’s), experience, and attitudes –together influence the meaning created when you talk.
