chapter 13 - post 3

I personally had a very hard time with the ideas in chapter 9 and ten. I don't know why, but I had a really hard time grasping the concepts of public communication. I feel like the words used to describle the concepts were really difficult to understand. To me it was almost like I was memorizing definitions rather than understanding the concepts. I also had the same problem while covering communication and the Mass Media. I thought that I would really enjoy learning about that area, but the terminology used in the book, really made it difficult for me to fully understand the concepts. It may have just been that way for me, but personally I like things explained in a way that I can relate to them. For each of the chapters I listend above, I feel like I retained the information only long enough to remember it on an exam, but will have a hard time being able to remeber it in the future.
