3). Pick one other concept in the book that you feel needs further discussion?
One concept in the book that I feel needs further discussion is becoming a responsible communicator. The reason I feel this needs more discussion is because there are so many ways in teaching how someone can communicate but telling someone how to become a better “communicator” in my opinion is difficult. They need to want to be a better communicator themselves. I have dealt with situations where my parents tell me that I have to do things all the time such as cleaning my room. However, I will not clean my room with them yelling at me all the time. I have to want to clean my room in order for it to be clean. I think this needs more discussion because instead of having ways to be a responsible communicator, there should be discussion on why being a responsible communicator is good and we should be able to decide from that point.

Hello Goober,
ReplyDeleteI understand where you are coming from and I also see where your parents are coming from. I know that from time to time I get frustrated when my husband makes a mess in the kitchen and I then am so mad the kitchen is messy I become a little tyrant ordering him around. He in turn will just ignore me or say he is going to do it later which he then conveniently forgets about and I end up cleaning it up. Communication can be frustrating at times and learning ways to communicate is very important because getting angry never seems to work.
Hi goober! I enjoyed reading your post this week. I completely agree that the concept of becoming a better communicator is vague and ambiguous.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that there are so many ways of teaching someone how to communicate more effectively. Not all people learn the same way so it is important to effectively customary teach individuals the importance to communication. I enjoyed your personal story on how you don't like it when your parents yell at you to clean your room. This example is a perfect one. In order to successfully get your message across to the other person, or get someone to do something, one has to communicate effectively. You cant just expect people to do things by yelling at them. Self disclosing and being specific can help one communicate effectively. I enjoyed reading your post and agree that this subject needs more clarification. Great Job.
