its entirety. Notice that there are three tasks to complete to complete: o Based on what you have learned in Schoenberg
(2011) and Bevan and Sole this week, begin to formulate a definition of self-disclosure and explanation of social
penetration theory. o Discuss how social networking sites have potentially challenged or reinforced key aspects of social
penetration theory. o Using an example from your own experience with social networking sites, share your thoughts on
the pros and cons of sharing personal information online. ? Review Chapter 7 in the course text. Focus especially on
section 7.4. ? Read Schoenberg?s article, Can We Talk? Terri Orbuch, a University of Michigan researcher who has
studied married couples for more than 20 years, talks about the role of communication in happy marriages?and how you
can use her findings to strengthen your relationship. ? Define self-disclosure and explain its importance. ? Use social
penetration theory to think through your experience with social network websites. Share an example from your own
experience to illustrate key points or to show that you do not follow patterns. ? Review the grading rubric. Reflect: Take
time to reflect on what you deem to be the role of self-disclosure and how norms of when it is appropriate can change
over time or in various contexts. Write: Based on what you have learned in class this week, address the following: ? Why
is self-disclosure important in both forming bonds and becoming more self-aware? ? Where and when should social
disclosure occur? ? Share an experience you have had, or heard about, that involved self-disclosure on social
networking websites. Relate your experience to what you have learned in class this week about social penetration
theory or other aspects of communication. Thoroughly address all three elements of this prompt by writing at least two to
three sentences on each element. Use the course readings at least once to help you make your points. Consider
copying and pasting these tasks into a word file and addressing each of them separately. Your initial response should be
<strong>200</strong> to 300 words in length and is due by Thursday, Day 3. Respond to Peers: Review your classmates? posts and try to
