The murderers were members of a group led by Charles Manson called the “Family”. These people were completely controlled by Manson.

The example should clearly relate to the argument and should be typical enough to support it. Avoiding examples that are not typical enough to support the general statement, it is a good way. To persuade the reader, the writer can use the method predicting the consequence.
For communication to be successful it has to be understood by the receiver and the ability to be replied to. This means that overall communication include speaking, reading, and listening skills.

The Lovely Bones is a tragic tale of how Susie Salmon and her family dealt with her rape and murder at the age of fourteen. The novel is riveting as it combines violence, love and mystery into one story of a broken family and their healing.

Ultimately the theory suggests that we modify these meanings in our mind and then act based on the symbols of reality that we have created. The opportunity for misunderstanding comes from the clashing of these meanings. There are a number of different interpretations and themes incorporated into SI, which I will attempt to unpack below. The first theme of the SI theory is, ‘the importance of meaning for human behaviour.’ This theme implies that we modify our behaviour based on the meanings that others have for us. The first assumption of this theme is that people make choices.
On the intuitive or message model, to communicate is simply a matter of encoding a thought in a form that one's audience can decipher. However, communication is more complex than just putting your thoughts into words and hoping your audience will reverse the process. Grice (1989) discovered the speaker's intention is distinctively reflexive, i.e. the speaker intends to produce a certain effect on his listeners partly by way of their recognising his intention to produce it. The effect specific to communication is understanding; therefore communication is, in short, the act of expressing an attitude with a reflexive intention whose fulfilment consists in its recognition.
