I, Captain Torres, who believes that our country should have better conditions, am here to bring out a new revolution! You people, who oppose us, definitely did not think it through! Have you ever thought about your living conditions? Wouldn’t you want to improve it? Or make it a better place for all of us to live in? Look at yourself and look at people around you! Don’t you people see what’s going on in our country? Do any of you even have the mood to just smile for one second? Eight years ago, November 18, 1968, in Turkey, Richard Moses, the leader of the Turkish people in a town, brought out a revolution! It was a total success! You stupid people didn’t know about it, did you? Every single person in Turkey cheered for the dramatic change! They received good food, decent wages, ethical living conditions, and millions more! Don’t you want any of those fantastic conditions? Take some time to think about your stupid actions stopping us! Think precisely! This is actually not only for our advantages, but also for the good of everyone single person here in this town! I command all of you to listen to me and support me! You will be living in broken houses, wearing torn clothes and barely having any food supplies! So, stop complaining about foolish people. Now, do not waste my precious time! Let’s get out of here! Let’s leave all these foolish people here and get on our way to the new revolution! Let’s go, I said…
Communication is a huge part of being human and allows us to connect with others on a deeper level because when we communicate we convey our thought, opinions and personal understanding of the world. The quote of Tubbs and Moss best describe the emissive part communication plays in our lives, humans ‘spend about 75 per cent of each day communicating’ (LMC107 course outline 2013:1). Communication is a sequence of events, dynamic, never-ending and ever-changing process meaning it has no fixed beginning nor end, nor fixed sequence of event in it from this viewpoint, communication can be define as a complex and dynamic process of exchanging meaningful messages (Introduction to communication 2013:13). This process has different components that influence and occur during an exchange of communication.…
Communication is very important in everyday life as it allows people to express themselves, it is especially prominent when people are new to one an other as it enables the development of a relationship and provides a tool for understanding an individual. It can also be highlighted when there is an issue that needs resolving between people, direct communication is essential in this scenario and the way in which something is communicated can also have a profound affect on a circumstance or situation. When verbally communicating there is a variety of tones, pitches and language to consider and some of this is personal and therefore somewhat difficult for a person to have control over; for instance what language they speak, what dialect or accent they may have whether their tone of voice is soft, gruff, loud, or quiet etc. these details can have an impact on how another may deliver or receive the information being verbally communicated.…

Petersen (2011) provides a practical guide for readers who are interested in increasing their ability to communicate amongst others in a multitude of settings which include but are not limited to business, familial, and romantic. Within this book, Petersen presents common, yet overseen communication errors which many individuals become conflicted with. With these common errors, Petersen then provides his view on how to overcome particular barriers which prohibit positive growth amongst those who seek to effectively communicate with one another. Petersen helps the reader understand that what results in a breakdown of communication is in part, due to the fact that the individuals involved in the process, fail to see the emotion behind what is being verbalized. This emotion however becomes translated as an attack, or defense to an attack which is perceived as one in the same thing (p.108).…

In an everyday context talk and dialogue are an essential part of interaction between people. Talk allows us to voice out thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also helps us question and find out what others are thinking – talk therefore helps us make sense of a chaotic world. According to Britton (1970, p. 20) ‘the primary task for speech is to symbolise reality in order for us to be able to deal with it.’ Vygotsky (1962, p.25), states that ‘thought is not merely expressed in words; it comes into existence through them’…

The components of culture and co-culture, non-verbal behaviors, types of listening and barriers to effective listening, attraction and uncertainty reduction theories, and self disclosure will be explained, as well as how they are embodied in the film Mean Girls.…
It is a known fact that communication is the understructure of any successful relationship, both professional and personal. However, the manner in which we communicate determines our connection to others and provides a doorway to express real intent and feelings. There are two ways in which we communicate verbal and nonverbally. Although the two styles of communication seem very different both are supposed to convey the same message.…
Communication competence is the ability to choose a communication behavior that is both appropriate and effective for a given situation. Interpersonal competency allows one to achieve their communication goals without causing the other party to lose face. The model most often used to describe competence is the component model (Spitzberg & Cupach, 1984) which includes three components: 1) knowledge, 2) skill, and 3) motivation. Knowledge simply means knowing what behavior is best suited for a given situation. Skill is having the ability to apply that behavior in the given context. Motivation is having the desire to communicate in a competent manner.…
There is an art to listening; and as Julia Wood states about listening, “We try to understand not just content but also the person speaking” (Wood 166). In essence, the goal of listening is to gasp the message, meaning and feelings of the person talking. Therefore, there are listening behaviors and listening styles that can either enhance or impede this process and flow of communication. To this point, observations have been made of two separate conversations in which listening behaviors and styles were seen as a lesson in what type of behaviors and styles are helpful and which are not.…
First of all, I want to share my own memoir about interpersonal communication. It is: “Speak less, listen more, think well”. I know this class is about speaking skill but before saying anything, we need to listen and clarify the information first. According to chapter 7 in the text book, listening is the process of receiving and responding to other’s message. During that process, mindful listening is required to give the message more attention. I made this memoir after thinking of the cause of conflicts and argument. I think most of the arguments and conflicts happen when two individuals fail to listen to other message mindfully.…

Where when I approached the family and letting them know that understand what they are going made them feel much more relaxed and intoned with the reality of the matter.…
