ISBN: 9780521869492 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str.

This theory is tested using cross-national and sub-national statistical analysis, and it...

Cases of Problematic Communication from College Students
ISBN: 9780595305681 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. There is a mistaken assumption in many social sciences that knowledge will automatically translate into action. Based on this assumption, textbooks for basic oral communication, a required course in many college campuses, attempt to ameliorate students' communicational behaviors by teaching them knowledge about communication: theories, concepts, and terms. Not only failing their attempt, these textbooks also estrange students by belaboring what is "common sense" in students' perception.
However, in reality, numerous social problems are not because of a lack of knowledge, but because of a... There is a mistaken assumption in many social sciences that knowledge will automatically translate into action. Based on this assumption, textbooks fo...
