Purposive Communication is a course for a group of learners who have the same vision in their program.

The first topic that we had is all about Communication. So, communication is a process of transferring of information from place, person or group to another. In every Communication involves a sender, message, receiver and a feedback. Also, communication do not just specify in verbal communication, but also in non-verbal communication using gestures, written, and a sign language. Communication may sound simple , but communication is actually a very complex subject.

There are 8 Ethical consideration to be learned in communication, which are; Respect your audience, Respect personal boundaries, Endorse freedom of  expressions, Do not falsify information, don't speak judgmentally, Consider the result of information, Use information correctly and value the truth.
I also learned more about Michael Osborn (2009) 9c's principles of effective communication, which are needed to be considered in communication, those are:

1. Correctness - all facts, words language information of the message must be accurate.
2. Concreteness- the message to the communication must be specific and not vague.
3. Consideration - be involve, do not use high level of language when talking to low profile person.
4. conciseness - the message must be to the point and unnecessary words must be eliminated.
5. Courtesy - must be communicate in a friendly and polite manner and tone.
6. Clarity - there must be clarity in terms of thought and expressions
7. Cultural Sensitivity - must adapt the culture.
8. Captivate - captivate your audience, persuade your audience using a very interesting topic.
9. Creativity - use other terms.

Using those 9c's principles of effective communication by Michael Osborn, we can communicate  to the other people appropriately and understandable, specially if we are talking to those people who did not get the opportunity to have high level of education, so, it is important for us to know what are the right words or terms that we should use for them to understand us as a speaker.
