Q1


1). What have you learned in this class over the course of the semester?  Be specific.

a: I have learned many things this semester. From relationship development to various communication concepts that I would have been blind to if not for this course. For relationships, I have learned how different relationships have different forms of communication. Communication between regular friends, close/best friends, significant other, to family. Each of these relationships have special qualities and require a different approach of communication. With your family you may be blunt, but amongst friends you are careful with your words. I have also learned that in different countries there are also different customs. For example, silence in some countries mean respect while to others they consider it rude or disrespectful. I think that the concept that will benefit the most in the long run is understanding how to communicate with your family effectively. In a family there are always bound to be mis-communication or misinterpretation and being about to sit down and properly solve your problems and come to a agreed resolution is important.

  1. HI g-dragon. I learned a lot of new concepts about communication this semester too. I didn't know there were so many forms of communication. You are right with your family you can be blunt but you can also be blunts to your friends if they don't take it personally. Good idea on bringing the example for silence and comparing it to other countries. Family is important and will always be important so it is good to know how to communicate with your family effectively. I can agree with you 100% that there will be miscommunication or misinterpretation in the family but being about to solve it properly would totally make the family stronger as whole and connected.
