Gibson & Papa present two models of of how people learn to become members of an organization including 1) Assimilation and 2) Organizational Osmosis. Why would an organization prefer the Osmosis method? 2. Given Gibson & Papa's ideas about Organizational Osmosis, have we all been to some degree socialized to work particular types of jobs rather than others? Why or why not? 3. Carbaugh discusses his research on the communication of a media company. He finds workers in the company have a variety of beliefs about how communication should occur, and what's wrong with the communication at the company. To be clear, these are the "workers' beliefs" and are not necessarily "true" about how communication works or doesn't. They also have particular beliefs about the "kinds of people" that work there. According to the workers, what kinds of workers are there, and what communication problems do they have? How might the kinds of communication problems they have be related to their beliefs about the kinds of people who work there?
