Coordinated Management of Meaning

Tuesday, July 15, 2014 1:57 am

The coordinated management of meaning theory states that we co-construct our own realities. These realities that we create have a direct affect on our afterlife. Pearce and Cronen see the CMM theory as a practical theory that is used to communicate more effectively. Creating your own social reality today is in direct correlation with our actions and realities tomorrow. Reflexivity, which means that our actions have effects that bounce back and affect us, is an example of that correlation. In the movie “Mean Girls” the main character Regina George is the leader of a group of snobby girls. She was a liar and was deceiving all of her friends. As a consequence, she was run over by a yellow school bus. That is the process of Reflexivity.
