Mrs. Doubtfire is a film that focuses on a marriage going through a divorce. As a result of the divorce Daniel, the father, is only allowed to see his children once a week. In an attempt to spend more time with his children, Daniel disguises as the perfect old English nanny that his wife, Miranda, is looking to hire. As the new nanny, Daniel becomes the perfect father and spouse. In this film not only do you see the many different types of relationships, you also see concepts of interpersonal communication entwined. The first two concepts of interpersonal communication running through the film are those of relationship deterioration and repair. The third concept that is weaved throughout the entire film is that of using humor to reduce

To function effectively in today's society people must communicate with one another. Yet for some individuals communication experiences are so unrewarding that they either consciously or unconsciously avoid situations where communication is required. (McCroskey & Richmond, 1979) The term ‘communication apprehension' was coined by James McCroskey (1976a) and is defined as "an individual's level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons" (McCroskey, 1984). In the last two decades communication apprehension and related constructs, such as reticence and unwillingness to communicate, have received extensive research and theoretical attention by scholars in communication and

I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating. Most people who are diagnosed with this tend to become violent because they are fighting themselves and others out of frustration. I like you idea of the treatment/housing facility. I think that would be wonderful.

To begin with, this paper will include seven different concepts that were learned from interpersonal communication. Starting off with the different communication needs and finishing with deception within relationships. To mention a few, also included in the paper are how perception affects communication, Knapp’s stages of relational development and Gottman’s four horsemen of the apocalypse. Each concept will be defined as by the book, Interpersonal Communication, by Kory Floyd (2011). Furthermore, concepts learned will be discussed on how this affects our faith and communication with future relationships.

In “Communication: Its Blocking and its Facilitation” by Carl Rogers: he argues the ineffectiveness of communication through tendencies of evaluation. That it is almost human nature to evaluate and judge while communicating; However, to prevent our natural tendencies of impeding communication we must learn to avoid it by coming to an understanding of the others perspective within the conversation.

Giving and getting feedback can be both positive and negative in which both ways can be difficult to hear. It can even be difficult to understand depending on how the feedback is being given and received. Either way giving and getting feedback can be discovered in many aspects of our daily lives and mastering this element of communication allows us to become more meaningful communicators. Through my research for this paper, I have been able to examine many variable environments in which giving and getting feedback can be found.

The rise in social media usage leads to a drop in interpersonal communication. The lack of interpersonal relationships remains to be a focus of many research studies determining if this leaves social media users more or less connected to peers. One study compares the time spent on the Internet for communication purposes and non-communication purposes in regards to how this affects friendship quality (Selfhout, Branje, Delsing, Bogt, & Meeus, 2009). Results from this study find that the most depressive subjects recorded are from people who report low friendship quality and mainly use the Internet for non-communication purposes. Researchers also study whether the quality of existing friendships suffers due to the depressive nature of the participants

After reading this first chapter, I realized how important communication is. I think learning communication in this class will enlarge my personal communication theory that I have learnt in my entire life. At this moment, I am learning about communication everyday through my daily life since I am living and studying abroad. This situation makes me see the basic communication process from outsider’s perspective which helps me see things more clearly. Talking about chapter 1, I personally like the communication process model because it is interesting when I think back to myself when I communicate with people. For example, yesterday I fried spams for my girlfriend and myself for our breakfast. Her spams are really thin while my spams are obviously

NO!” “ Ok, Thank you Ms. Lewis” and I hung up. I am sitting at my desk really analyzing what just happened. Two to three minutes passed by, as I continued to think about the conversation. I started writing down what I wanted to say to Ms. Lewis, so I kind of scripted what I wanted to say. Because, I wanted this conversation to be effective when I speak to Ms. Lewis. Because, she was at Ms. Frank’s desk when she was talking to me, I felt that her response and behavior was very extreme and that she was possibly trying to be entertaining because she had an audience. So I wanted to talk to Ms. Lewis privately to discuss with her how communicating with her was unbearably difficult. (Which those words were a part of my brief script that I

There are many principles of communication. Some include: taking responsibility for your communication behavior; remembering that communication involves shared meaning; acknowledging that your view of a situation is only one of many views; respecting others as well as yourself; listening and evaluate the other person's statements before responding; and practicing being a competent communicator. This paper will discuss taking responsibility for your communication behavior and acknowledging that your view of a situation is only one of many views. This paper will also discuss a specific instance of miscommunication.

In order to maintain a successful and fulfilling marriage, we all know it takes work from both partners. As you set out on your journey together, it is important to remember that understanding the aspects of interpersonal communication is essential to learning how to effectively communicate with one another. Sara, when you have something you want to discuss with Tim, you want him to really listen and consider your point of view, right? Also, Tim, I know you feel the same way. I would like to offer you both some advice and give you some information that can help guide you in learning how to communicate with each other to the best of your abilities.

Both My Dad and I are very different people. We have a very complex relationship and our differences make it hard for us to connect. We have vastly different styles of conflict, we do not communicate in the same way. We miscommunicate often which leads to frustration on both of our parts. Not to mention a big conflict in our relationship is that I am older, going to school, and still living at home. There are many outside factors that may contribute to our difficulties. One major one that adds to his frustration is my brother’s handicap which requires him to live at home without a job or a car. I have explored their relationship in other papers that I have done. I realize that this relationship may (and has) made our relationship difficult.
