one way v. two way communication

So the subject of one way and two way communication came up in class. First, I wanted to make clear what one way and two way communications really is. One way communication is when information is given with the intent to inform and is not expected to have a response. For instance, at work, a memo informing of an important meeting or new policy changes would be considered one way communications. So it is easy to draw the conclusion that two way communication is when information is given with the purpose of drawing responses. A good scenario for this would be in a staff meeting or brainstorming session where an idea or problem is presented with the express purpose of drawing ideas from others in the room. Two way communications can easily be considered to be the better of the two. It gets all parties involved and allows them to feel a since of motivation towards any issue of task. It creates hope and good overall communication from all parties.
