How can two people holding diametrically opposed political, social, and cultural views peacefully coexist in the same household?

Interpersonal conflicts are inevitable. Different texts suggest not how to avoid conflict, but rather how to effectively communicate when involved in one. However, the “rules” of constructive communication can completely change in conflicts between people in long-term, interdependent relationships. This paper will focus on analyzing a conversation between a mother and her adult son, while applying ideas from William Wilmot and Joyce Hocker’s Interpersonal Conflict, Deborah Tannen’s I Only Say This Because I Love You, and the “Conflict Styles” lecture.

With the example provided above, I got a glimpse as to how issues are handled in the household. Elina seems to talk about the issues in a way that overwhelms Carolyn. Carolyn on the other hand, seems to bottle up all her emotions and explodes into what could become verbally aggressive. Carolyn also seems to have been raised with different values than Elina. This combined with the difference in communication styles could make for a fiery argument. Finally, there seems to be an age difference between Carolyn and Elena that might be a contributing factor to the dynamic that is taking place. Often, a difference in communication styles and parenting could be a reflection of the generation a person is born

Brennan and Dale are both grown men who live at home with their single parents. They are both essentially bums in the movie. When the parents of Brennan and Dale meet on a business trip, and decide to get married, they boys become new step brothers. At first neither of them like it and the two embark on a wondrous adventure. This movie greatly shows many aspects of interpersonal communication ranging from family relationships to managing conflict and power.

The family has many communication issues; they need more open dialogue and emotional expression. The reason for this is that numerous open wounds have not healed. These open wounds influence how they communicate with one another and limit their ability to address underlying issues and emotions. As a result, tension frequently simmers beneath the surface, causing outbursts and misunderstandings. Without proper dialogue, the family will not be able to address their issues and heal their emotional wounds.

did the same thing in some agency they do not let you accept anything even if it is tradition in the family. Walt would of course have to turn them down more politely. Later in the movie we see that the family keep bringing food to Walt and he said no once again if they kept insisting Welt might have had to ask for the family to be transferred to a new social worker because the relationship wouldn't work (Karen K. Kirst-Ashman,1970). Furthermore, as the movie progresses we see that Walt starts to become a type of mentor to Thao. Walt asked him what would he like to become in the future and he said he would like to become a lawyer and Walt told him that his sun is a lawyer he told him that he doesn't think he will become one.

Something everyone should use until the world ends. Advice. Advice is helpful, while making a decision, and having a friend to lean on when things get hard. Advice is helpful for not jumping straight to conclusions, that could make the situation worse. That's where making the right decision comes in. Having the options and thinking about the effect it could have is good. When things get hard that's when a friend should be useful.

Communication is more complicated than just speaking to one another. Some families suffer from the lack of communication and it is most important to keep a good communication flow through families.

In 1971 the twenty-sixth amendment brought down the voting age to eighteen for all states. Voting has gained some astonishing ground. From the picked few to everybody that meets the present voting essentials. Initially, the United States constitution had been controlled so that only white citizen men were qualified to vote. Equity has critically affected this law and today both genders have the right to vote. The principles of voting have changed consistently through many of the years. The fight for decency is still present today and has been exemplified already. With different dubiously discussions, it is always critical for any country to be made of values and rights. In spite of the way that it is seen that the US has accomplished full equity;

As we know families as always changing and so are the dynamics. Communication is a transactional process that is changing over time. Two central scopes of family behavior are adaptability and cohesion. Each is divided into four levels to create 16 combinations. Overtime it has changed to fit into cohesion, adaptability and communication.

The ways in which a family communicates messages with each other plays a key role in shaping the lives of each individual family member. Humans have always belonged to and identified with their families even before they could speak or form any other social group. Family members not only rely on each other to be there for emotional and social support, but also shape how individuals identify themselves. Therefore, the quality of family relationships greatly impacts the quality of life for most people. (Koerner & Schrodt, 2014)

Being raised in a military family brings its own set of behaviors that most people are not accustomed to. My father was a Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. The social environment in our house was one of low-context communication. Rarely was there ever a discussion about what was meant, let alone about what was to be done. The environment was further supported by my mother was born and raised in Ireland. She was the daughter of a British Army Officer. Both of the cultures blended into a seamlessly emotionless home environment with conversations that were straight to the point. In retrospect, I ultimately found this challenging in my marriage and while trying to raise my daughter. I was forced to re-evaluate myself and how I could incorporate some high-context communication into our relationship’s to foster a more nurturing setting.
