This class has taught me a
lot of new different things/ terms about communication especially interpersonal
communication. I learned about the non verbal and verbal communication which
can be really strong. I learned a lot of different aspects of
interpersonal communication in this class over the course of the semester. I have
been using and will use a lot of the interpersonal communication skills in my
life after finding out the new terms and how to use it effectively aka being a
good friend, a good listener, trying to understand them, etc. Interpersonal communication is a very
important aspect of interaction within the family and friends and whoever. I
found that communication dynamics with gender perspective most that stuck out
to me. I do not like that men would rather eat, watch tv, socialize with their
friends but they don’t like to discuss their issues with you. Women want the
emotional support. Other things I learned is that family will always be there
and you can be blunt to them. Defensiveness is okay sometimes but you have to
be understanding and not blunt. Different countries have different customs. A
lot of new things opened my eyes to help understand interpersonal communication
better.
Hi Grasshopperhopping!
ReplyDeleteI read your post; you covered almost every interesting part of the course. Good job! I also found the non-verbal communication fascinating because, we overlook it most of the times. In fact nonverbal communication sends signals to the person we are communicating even before we start verbal communication. I think nonverbal communication is highly influenced by different cultures. I feel after learning these concepts we can understand people and their behavior in a better perspective. I truly feel the concepts of interpersonal communication were real eye openers. I liked the way you emphasized on being a good listener to be a good understanding friend, how true is that indeed. Anyways it was great reading your blogs during this semester, I suggest you keep blogging and Good luck!
I liked what you said about learning more of interpersonal communication. You learn more about non verbal and verbal communication, which is one of the key concepts in every communication. People pay more attention to the way we react to every conversation than what we have to say. There are so many concepts in this book, I found interesting that one will forever apply in everyday communication and relating with people. It really enlightened my mind on how powerful, interpersonal communication can be, especially, when it come down distinguishing between the female community and male community. I enjoyed reading this book too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying about interpersonal communication completely. The different aspects of interpersonal communication that we learned in this class are things that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I learned things about both verbal communication and nonverbal communication that I had never knew before. Learning about the different ways that men and women communicate was also very interesting to me as well. I would really like it if men would just communicate like women and care about our feelings and give us the support that we need instead of watch sports or hang out with friends.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your perspectives on interpersonal communication. I think that the materials that we learned in this class will be useful for the rest of my life. Even though this class does not require you to meet the instructor or fellow students, the teacher still made it effective for us to learn the necessary concepts and ideas needed for us later. I learned a lot more about the nonverbal ad verbal communication, and it stood out the most for me because every time I come across a new acquaintance I would observe them and see what kind of communication method to use with them.
