What’s New
Look at the following pictures below. What are they used for? What are their main functions?
What other words are synonymous to the term function? What does it mean by this concept?
Great! The term function is synonymous to the words use, role, task, responsibility,
and purpose. Merriam Webster explains that function is the natural purpose or the intended
use of a person of thing. A thing or a person may have single function or a multiple function.
For example, smartphones have multiple functions. It can be used for researching, connecting
with friends through social media platforms, gaming as well as communication.
Also, communication has its functions or purposes. A single communicative activity may have
one or more purpose, and this will be the focus of our lesson in this learning module.
What’s In It
We have learned from our previous lesson that communication is dynamic, systematic
and proactive process in which communicators exchange messages, ideas, facts, opinions or
feelings. In every communicative activity, it holds a specific purpose depending on speech
situations and the participants’ backgrounds. When we get our cellular phones and call to a
friend, it could be for a specific reason. When a school principal gives announcements after
flag ceremony, there must be an information that he/she would like to convey. Also, when a
father gives a hug to his child, it could be a way of resolving conflict. These reasons or
purposes are the so called functions of communication. Communication functions differently
in diverse contexts. These are simplified by Sipacio and Balgos (2016) and Vicker (n.d) into
4
five main functions namely: information dissemination, regulation or control, social interaction,
motivation, emotional expression.
3. Communication is a tool for social interaction. It allows individuals to interrelate and build
connections. Attending to various social gatherings is a way of building stronger
relationship with other people. Through interacting with our peers, family, friends, and
successful people, we can have a wider view or perspective about anything around us,
and thus help develop our interpersonal communication skills

Note: for those who can’t watch the video due to unavailability of internet, you may read
the transcript below.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my
parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just
the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just
released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And
then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we
hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first
year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually
we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out.
And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was
devastating.
I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous
generation of entrepreneurs down — that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to
me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.
I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But
something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple
had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to
start over.
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could
have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness
of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most
creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named
Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to
create the world’s first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most
successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought next, I
returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current
renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It
was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the
head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was
that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it
is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly
satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love
what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the
heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better
as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.
