TOPIC 6: FOUNDATION OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
In general based on my understanding, interpersonal communication is the exchange of information, ideas, and feelings between two or more people, either verbally or nonverbally. For instances, by hearing, seeing, and feeling body language, facial expressions, and gestures are frequently used in face-to-face communication. This things happen to me everyday in many situations.
At
the start of this course, I was not familiar with the concepts of interpersonal
communication in an academic way. Now that I have been in the course, I realize
that I was familiar with the concepts as they have occurred within my life,
although these happenings did not have a name. Because these
concepts did not have a name, they were not fully acknowledged in my life.
For example, I came into this course with a grasp of my conflicts and romantic
relationship. I knew the necessities, my needs, his needs, and our areas that
needed work. I also was having conflict struggles with my siblings and had what I thought was an understanding of the situation.
Despite all of the newfound knowledge that has been obtained during the course, it can be difficult to apply the concepts that we have learned to every situation that we are faced with. I realized that even though I love to resolve conflicts simply with some of the tips from the internet and lectures, applying such thinking and problem-solving methods can be a challenge. Although I believed that I made an attempt to not make assumptions (particularly the assumptions of consistency and communicator independence). Although acknowledging the types of assumptions that we make and how they negatively can impact our relationships is useful, in the early stages of conflict it can be difficult to recognize that such assumptions are being made. For example, my siblings especially my youngest sister had made an informal agreement with me (or so I had thought it to be informal). I told her that I would communicate with the other party involved to set a schedule. Both of us made assumptions of consistency and simple meaning, causing us to take words at face value without much thought or further discussion.
From this topic also understand that communication skills can enhance a love relationship either with friends or family. The family includes the children, relatives, and assorted significant others surrounding a primary relationship In my opinion, a relationship that involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis.
