reflection paper
Reflection Papers: You are expected to submitfivereflection papers on topics covered in class. The class sessions you can write reflection papers on are listed in the course syllabus please choose any five. You can write reflection papers about the class sessions, exercises, guest speakers and movies wherever you see this note: ‘Don’t forget to write your reflection paper after today’s class’. A reflection paper is not a recap of the class, lecture or the exercise. A proper reflection paper is a combination of your thoughts, analysis of what you have experienced. In doing so, please relate your reflections to class topics. A reflection paper demonstrates your understanding and interpretation of the experience/course material. Therefore, a reflection paper is a personal account and is less structured than a regular paper you write for other classes. Each journal entry should be minimum 500 words. Please include a word count.

Reading Reflection: International Communication
Communication includes the exchange of information between a sender and recipient, without which it would be difficult for society to experience any form of progress or interaction between the different individuals. Reading through the chapter on international communication, and with respect to the changes in communication in the twentieth century from conventions to the age of politicization and propaganda, one of the primary issues that come to mind from the discussion is the critical role played by the interaction on advancing international relations.
