Communication is very important. It’s how we interact with each other to have a conversation. No matter where you go you’ll always have to communicate with someone, it can never be avoided.

When communicating with someone never be scared to say something always speak up for yourself. Communicating helps you to use your voice.
Ever since my high school years I’ve never really liked to communicate with anyone. The reasons why was because I have a fear with interaction with people which kept me from communication appropriately. This was called communication apprehension.

I’ll kick you out. Those were his exacts words. I didn’t want to hear it but I’m thankful he always says something.
At work you do a lot of communicating. When I first started working like five weeks ago I had no idea what I was doing. I had to communicate with the teacher to ask her what I needed to do. It wasn’t easy to communicate with people because I’m a very shy person. The place I work at I always watch how the teacher communicates with the kid like for example if a kid hits another kid the teacher tells them “Are friends are not for hitting” or “use your voice to tell them stop”. Not only does this help us but mostly the toddlers so they can learn how to talk to each other and use their voice to speak up for themselves.
Teachers who can communicate well with their students can encourage them to learn and attend class everyday. When I go to school I communicate with the teacher and peers around me. It’s always great to meet someone new or just to have a friend in class. In school communication plays an important role in our education. There are many ways we can communicate at school. We can have face to face conversations about assignments we didn’t understand, why we missed class, and how we’re doing in the class. We can also email if we can’t get a hold of them or when we’re at home. In class everyday the instructor has us communicate with one another so we get to feel comfortable and confident around
Why is teaching Social Communication important? Social Communication is the basis of how humans interact with each other. Without social skills, the ability to build relationships with others would not exist. Being a social outlet for children, school offers students a unique opportunity to practice their social skills, but for students who struggle, school can have a negative impact on their academic success (Ostmeyer and Scarpa, 2012). In School there is a presumed set of skills that students are required to learn and follow. Some of these skills that teachers find essential are listening to others, following steps, staying calm, taking responsibility for one’s behavior and doing nice things for others. To many, these skills may require a little thought, but to children with social deficits, these skills could be a continuous obstacle. “Thus, an environment that necessitates social communication as a method of learning could lead to academic underperformance” (Ostmeyer, Scarpa, 2012, pp. 933).
When two people decide to get married and spend the rest of their lives together, they don’t plan on their past individual experiences getting in the way of their happiness as a couple. Research has shown that when the couple finds themselves in an unhappy marital relationship, they find themselves contemplating divorce because they lack the proper tools for effective communication (Buehlman, Gottman, & Katz, 1992). Effective communication learned in the early years of marriage will build a stable, healthy, and active union, which involves keeping alive feelings that brought the couple together in the first place (Honeycutt, 1999). Studies conducted on this topic (Driver & Gottman, 2004) determined that effective communication and interaction play a part in how couples detour from the dirt road of divorce and get back on the highway of happily ever after.
Communication is important because it allows us to verbalize what is inside us and enables it
“Today, interpersonal communication is defined not just by the number of people who communicate, but also by the quality of the communication. Interpersonal communication occurs when you treat the other person as a unique human being, 8” (Pg. 3). Communication is important in a relationship because without out it you wouldn’t know anything about the other person, you wouldn’t be able to express your concerns or ideas, and you wouldn’t know when that person is upset, happy or sad. I personally believe that if there was no communication there wouldn’t be any relationships because even friendships begin when you talk with someone and you find common interest with each other. Communication is also important in figuring out if a relationship will be long term or not because you will be able to see what common interest you have with the other person and whether or not you are compatible with them. Some people are born communicators who can talk for hours with no problem but some people like myself have issues when it comes to communicating in our relationships and can’t figure out ways to put our thoughts into words.
Communication in verbal and written form is difficult for me to convey to others. I am the person who will take you to the barn instead of using the direct path. In communication, there are several questions that need to be asked and answered. First, determine the purpose. Secondly, determine whether the emotional or physical needs of the other person are being conveyed through dialog. The second stage of communication deals with the perception of the conversation. During the final stage, assessing whether the point of views has successfully been evaluated and all participants needs have been addressed through this form of dialog process. I think of the cycle of waste or value in all conversation now. It starts with the way everyone receives the communication. It begins with the Ladder of Listening, listens, ask questions, doesn't interrupt don’t change the subject; keep emotions in control and compassionate listening. I am usually on the bio-reaction (the last rung). I find it hard to keep my emotion’s, and feeling out of the way. I will find a way to get my point across even if I interrupt, think about my rebuttal, I must be right, and how can I get the point across to others, it was all about me. I could see why my directions hindered my communication in the social, personal and professional world. When I started applying the Laws of Conversation and Conversation Meter, I noticed a big difference in the way others responded to me. When I first learned about
Language allows us to bring life to things, people, places and experiences. However, choices of what language to use has an impact on perception of our message, so when communicating it is important to know not only how different language can benefit a communication, but also how it can be a hindrance. There are 6 barriers in language that can have ill-effects on the message that is being conveyed: clichés, jargon, slang, sexism/racism, euphemisms and doublespeak. This essay will describe each so that they will be easy to recognize and avoid in the communication process.
The actions that I reveal when I am communicating to an audience are discussing a dull subject, poor preparation and lack of self-confidence. I often chose topics that may interest me, but not my audience. The people in the audience seem to not be interested in what I am saying, which is shown through their tired face expressions, daydreaming and are distracted by other actions taking place or their personal belongings. In addition to this, I do not prepare for a speech as thoroughly as I should. I tend to not know exactly how I am going to state my thoughts clearly because I wait until the last minute to practice my speech and it makes it hard to remember exactly what I’m trying to say. Both of these habits develop the lack of self-confidence I have when presenting to an audience. I worry about what people may think of my appearance, the message I am trying to send through my words and how I present the message. The combination of these flaws results in the bad habits I experience during public speaking, which includes shaking, stuttering, heart palpitations and nervousness. These bad habits prevent me from reaching my full potential of being an effective communicator. Although the points I mentioned stand to be true, I want to set goals so that I can improve my communication skills and follow better practices to grow as a communicator.
Refugees come from vulnerable places where they are in constant fear of persecution (Wangdahl et al., 2015, p. 2). Therefore, it is important to create a good rapport to build an interpersonal relationship and to provide quality care (Wangdahl et al., 2015, p. 2). The purpose of this report is to identify two main communication skills to provide effective care to an elderly woman. The woman is a refugee and is currently living in a refugee community in a town. A health professional is assigned to provide health services to this town. The woman who is referred to the health professional is nervous and quite hesitant to communicate. The health professional needs to build a good rapport with the woman so he/she can identify the problem and provide necessary care. The two main communication skills which could be used to communicate with the woman are active listening and eye contact.
Communication plays a vital role in all the interactions of daily life. Verbal communication is the most common method or type of contact; however, the non-verbal part of communication can be more effective (Kleinschmidt 2017). Gestures, tone of voice, grins, shrugs, nods, moving away or closer, crossing arms and legs all tell far more than words. Learning to take account of these reactions is all part of developing the communication skills needed to achieve the best outcomes for patients. People aim to communicate how they feel and think about their environment, nonverbally. Therefore, correct observation and the use of non-verbal interactions is very important in identifying and reducing possible communication barriers that may occur during conversations. (Skills for Care 2017). The scenario discussed in the essay will be based the case of a 75-year-old male attending a dietetic consultation. The patient mentioned suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and presbycusis which are both main issues that could lead to possible communication difficulties. Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline. The disease is progressive, and it affects everyone differently, hence the advancement of symptoms will vary within and between individuals (Cheston 2003). Additionally, all aspects of effective person-centred care regarding the patient and his family will be discussed.

While observing Mrs. Discenza for the second time, the day started off in her usual manner of going through emails, checking the calendar, and making phones calls in her office. A student was called down to deal with a disciplinary issue of inappropriate dress. Mrs. Discenza referred to the student handbook to show the student what rule she was violating. She also explained why it is in the student’s best interest to dress following the provided guidelines. Mrs. Discenza was very professional and caring in the conversation with the young lady, since this conversation could have turned bad quite quickly. The student was then instructed to call home for a change of clothes. While the student called home, Mrs., Discenza composed and email to the parents explaining the meeting that had taken place. She said, “Following up anytime a student is in violation of the handbook requires a written document. I also make sure to respond to any parent concerns when the parent comes in with a change of clothes. One other thing is to remain professional when addressing clothing so not to be accused by the student that they are being perverted by looking at them. Therefore, eliminating any legal repercussions” (L. Discenza, personal communication, October 23, 2017). The student then waited in the office until her mother brought her another outfit. After the student incidence we had a few moments to discuss the goals of the team meetings that she would be attending during periods two and
People need to communicate well since communication is a significant key to success in life, workplace, and relationships. Having good communication skills will help a person to transfer their ideas to other individuals easily and clearly without any misunderstanding. It also helps people to build relationships, learn new things, ask questions, and share information. Each one of us has the ability to interact with other people, who could be their family, friends, or colleagues. Individuals should be able to know how to be in touch with each other very well, so they can be able to express themselves and their emotions effectively. A person’s capacity to communicate comes from their experience when they try to fit themselves to different and new positions. Since I moved to a new country with a foreign language, I have communicated well by dealing with new experiences and situations.

Communication is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is one of the many ways that helps us connect with one another, if we did not have communication life would be virtually impossible. There are many ways of communicating, but the most common ways are verbal and non-verbal. Most people think that we are more verbal when we are communicating with others, but we use more non-verbal skills than anything. Non-verbal communication is described as communication without using words. It is how we use our body language which includes our voice, posture, facial expressions, eyes, etc. when we are communicating with others. This is one of the most important aspects of communication, because it can tell a lot about a person especially how they feel toward someone or something.
The significance of this ethical dilemma shows the vulnerability of the patient and how this language barrier may have unconsciously served as a manipulating tool of persuading the patient to have the therapeutic procedure. Thence, perpetuating the existing power relation differences between the patient and nurse relationship. The language barrier does not provide an excuse for not advocating a patient’s access to quality nursing care and for social justice as a human right. I have the moral obligation in recognising and ensuring that my patients have the knowledge and skills to make free and informed decisions. Therefore, developing skills to communicate with patients who speak in other languages other than English is pertinent for nurses as it ensures that patients with the legal capacity and sound mind have the right to be autonomous, make self-determined decisions and not out of mere compliance.
