It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt


Saying that the pragmatic perspective makes sense is a totally opinionated viewpoint. History is been proven to repeat itself over and over again and therefore we tend to repeat ourselves and our behaviors over and over again. I believe that humans are creatures of habit, and with habits come patterned interactions. So to me, yes, it does make sense to think of communication as patterned interaction. If you think of communication like a game of soccer; the ball is the words, and the players are having communications. They communicate verbally as well as nonverbally with each other, but also with the environment around them. If the team communicates effectively they win, if not well we get picture. Communication is different from a game, because at the end of the day words have been said, gestures given, and posture received; but, none of it can be erased. There are no "do overs" once something has been said it cannot be retracted, or forgotten.
