Sample Communication/Notice
Diagnosis /Affliction
 The Standpoint Theory is at play. This theory posits that
people are situated in specific social standpoints-they
occupy different places in the social hierarchy. Because
of this, individuals view the social situation from particular
vantage points. By necessity, each vantage point
provides only a partial understanding of the social
whole. Since they are from La Salle, they think they are
better than others and that their ideas will always
matter.

 Superiority Complex. It goes without saying that they are

NARCISSISTICS. They all think that they can overcome
inferiority by being superior over anyone and everyone.
Malignant or Benign
Remedy or Cure
 The Diffusion Innovation Theory. Diffusion is a
special type of communication concerned with
the spread of messages that are perceived as
new ideas.
◦ People are creatures of habit. By nature, they do not
like change.
◦ Word of mouth is very important in this theory.
Prescriptions
 Remember to be sensitive to customs and
values – change is accepted when this is
supported by new concepts.
 Learn to recognize where the audience is
situated in the process.
 Understand what type of communication will
work best with each type of receiver.
Laughter is still the best medicine…
