Mass communication wasn't able to be accessed easily at one-point in time. Now because of social media and the internet pretty much anyone can gain a platform and say almost anything they want. Journalists at one point were one of the biggest forms of mass communication, now newspapers are hardly read, and articles are read by the niche group they're written for. Magazines are rarely read for anything other than gossip. Mass communication is everywhere. The FBI has a twitter account, local police departments have Facebook pages. Mass communication is everywhere amber alerts and extreme weather announcements are a few forms. mass communication is everywhere "Television, websites, blogs, and social media are mass communication channels that you probably engage with regularly. Radio, podcasts, and books are other examples of mass media. The technology required to send mass communication messages distinguishes it from the other forms of communication."

I actually enjoy public speaking; I talk a lot, so I rarely have a problem with presentations or speaking events. I know a lot of people that have immense anxiety when it comes to talking in front of a group, and I used to but one day I just got over it. So many people have to speak publicly, politicians, teachers, singers, cops, judges, and many other positions. Whenever I have to present something, I ask myself, "What is the worst thing that could happen?" I stumble over my words, I mess up a sentence, someone in my class thinks I'm stupid. None of it matters to me, because at the end of the day I'm likely going to be the only person that remembers the topic or the presentation. Many people fear public speaking, " It is precisely this formality and focus on the sender that makes many new and experienced public speakers anxious at the thought of facing an audience." A lot of people don't know how to talk to a group or simply can't, and that's okay. Public speaking can be extremely nerve racking, some people will never be able to, and that's totally fine because it's not really an everyday thing like intrapersonal communication.

I have slight control issues and I usually am the group talker/presenter. So, when group events arise, I usually try to put myself in a leadership role. I have had previous issues when I meet someone like myself and I have learned to let go of some of my "controlling behavior." Group communication occurs, obviously, in groups. Groups always have a task or a responsibility to do, "Goal-oriented communication at the group level usually focuses on a task assigned to the whole group; for example, a group of people may be tasked to figure out a plan for moving a business from one office to another." Group communication can be either wonderful or the worst thing you have ever experienced.

Everyone on this planet has intrapersonal communication. I talk to myself every day, and I have conversations with myself on what I'm going to do or what I need to do. Some people talk to themselves to calm down, or they journal to ease their minds. When something surprising happens people usually react somehow in their head, basically when anything happens people react to themselves. Just as the text states, "We also use intrapersonal communication or “self-talk” to let off steam, process emotions, think through something, or rehearse what we plan to say or do in the future." Intrapersonal communication happens almost every second throughout one person's day.

We still see this today, there are set class systems in today's society. There is of course; lower class, middle class, and high class. There have always been class systems in human society and there will always continue to be class systems. There is always someone on top and someone on the bottom. This ties into the paragraph preceding this one, "While such transactions were initially tracked with actual objects that symbolized an amount—for example, five pebbles represented five measures of grain—symbols, likely carved into clay, later served as the primary method of record keeping. In this case, five dots might equal five measures of grain." Class starts with money and money creates class. In the early ages of society, religions had multiple Gods and deities. As society progressed these religions were slowly lost. The further that society came the more religion became a high power. Religion is still deeply rooted in our economic and political systems today.
