Web Lecture 3

In web lecture 3 it did a good job in summarizing the three chapters. I really enjoyed reading the section about identity because last semester I had intercultural communication and learned that identity has so many different meanings. So it was interesting to have that background of identity and then read about it in the lecture. In the section about social penetration theory it really explained the concept very well and really broke the concept down to easily understand the theory.

Hi Carmen,

I also enjoyed reading about Social Penetration Theory on the Web Lecture. I appreciated the the 3 critiques that were offered, particularly the critique that states that Social Penetration Theory completely disregards the fact that people can be altruistic and creative. You wouldn't hardly know it from what our media portrays, but our world is full of people who live to serve the greater good and work to help others rather than seek self-gratification.
