Types of Communication

I barely ever know what I'm talking about, so I doubt any of you do, when I reference my goals of conflict resolution. I used to talk about it in terms of communication, thus my undergrad philosophy senior thesis "On the Essentiality of Communicating with Each Other -How to Communicate with Terrorists" (which, unfortunately, was a bunch of idealistic gobbledegook, for which I am profoundly confused how I got the departmental award for it). But here is a bit of a hint. Reading an article on communication for my online Externship course, these are types of communication ferreted out by a study:

1. Rational persuasion
2. Inspirational appeal
3. Consultation
4. Ingratiation
5. Exchange
6. Personal Appeal
7. Coalition building
8. Legitimating
9. Pressure

So, choose carefully my friends. : )
