As technology continues to advance everyday, verbal conversation is becoming less common. Even though texting is becoming more common, it is making understanding ones tone and view on a conversation difficult to understand. People aren’t necessarily able to express emotion over text, regardless of punctuation. One still isn’t able to determine if a person could be joking, serious, sarcastic, or lying because sending a text isn’t the same as speaking to a person face to face. Me personally, I have reaped the repercussions of jumping to conclusions with my conversations through text. With personal experiences, research, and findings I will elaborate more on the topic of how conversation

I personally can see myself not being able to concentrate in class as much because I have a significant other that texts me as well as all my other friends who I don’t see all the time. Not only that but social media as well which makes being able to concentrate in class difficult and being able to focus during work is just as difficult. Texting has made a big impact on conversational aspects in multiple different ways most outweighing the positives.
The effects of texting on intrapersonal relationships I found were majority negative. Basically today texting has become the main form for contacting people that aren’t close to you. Many individuals use texting to express their feelings, keep in touch with friends, and avoid communication orally. Even though texting is convenient, simple, and simple it is causing a severe negative effect on face-to-face conversations. It has come to the point where texting is actually replacing face-to-face communication where people are even too scared to meet a person physically to speak face-to-face. Nonverbal Competency is “the ability to process and use non-verbal codes to convey content in effective ways.” The nonverbal codes don’t exist because there isn’t a receiving party. No vocal characteristics, body movements, or facial expressions of any kind with which to gauge from conversation. Texting has made people lazy and lack face-to-face conversation skills. Texting has made people shorten their words,

Using texting as a quicker and more efficient form of communication takes the emotional connection out of the equation. It allows us to not be physically near the recipient or to take responsibility for miscommunications that lead to hurt feelings. While texting, students do not need to make eye contact with their recipient or learn to read their body language. In addition, there is no need to learn the art of persuasive argument or exchanging and building on ideas. This is not only harming students in the classroom, but can have negative effects when entering the workforce. After leaving college, students hope to land a job in their field of expertise. In the workforce, teams are a diverse collection of persons – all ages and different cultures. Texting may be acceptable in some situations, but there is still a great need for face to face interactions. We learn how to become more comfortable meeting new people and interviewing for jobs. There is nothing wrong the light banter between friends that texting can provide, but the conversation is not necessarily deep.
Is texting such a horrible thing or does it actually have its benefits? Does it cause one to be illiterate? Do you get lower grades in school because you text? Many people have different ideas and opinions when it comes to texting. In the essay “ 2b or Not 2b, by David Crystal, texting is talked about as being helpful and created for a specific purpose. Specifically, Crystal responds to the claim that reporter John Humphrys makes, “texters are vandals who are doing to our language what Genghis Khan did to his neighbors 800 years ago”. Then, on the other hand you have Sylvia E. Mc Donald, who argues that texting while in class causes one to have lower grades and this could predict how they are in their future.
Texting has become a common way of communicating between peers. It isn’t just used to chat with your friends, it has also become essential in the workplace, creating a bigger connection between work and your personal life. An article was published on The Liberal on the risks of texting, but I actually believe texting is great for us. It has made communication easier and its negative impacts are very avoidable. The risks mentioned in the article are the driving impairments, the physical injuries, and the effect it can have on your grammar. Although these risks seem dangerous, they can be avoided easily.
The movie The proposal has many concepts but a few are nonverbal, self disclose and interpersonal conflict. The Proposal is about a woman who is faced with deportation. Margaret Tate is a successful chief-editor of the Ruick & Hunt Publishing in New York.

Joseph DeVito, in his book The Interpersonal Communication Book (2016), wrote that “masculine cultures value aggressiveness, material success, and strength” (p.39). Masculine cultures are ego oriented. Conflicts are solved by fighting. DeVito (2016) also stated that “feminine cultures value modesty, concern for relationships, and quality of life and tenderness” (p. 39). Feminine cultures are more relationship oriented. People are important to them and conflict is resolved through negotiations.

The Interpersonal communication skill of feedback guide to specific benefits in within different social frameworks such as a workplace. Beebe, Beebe & & Redmond, (2014) explain the term Interpersonal communication as a singular and (dynamic) form of commmunication that appears in the daily life of every social being; underlining its importance in the construction and management of human relationships. In contrast to other forms of human communication, Interpersonal communication(it) involves a direct interaction between idividuals seen as unique, and in which the information shared lead to confine interpersonal relationships; promoting a sincere dialogue, and an authentic connection Beebe, Beebe & & Redmond, (2014). As part of realizing its
Consequently, people who text a lot may be more uncomfortable with in-person communication.” Taking this information into account, it becomes clear that cell phones have essentially decreased face-to-face socialization and have socially affected those who use cell phones as a main source of communication. Along with the absence of face-to-face social interaction, arises the issue of resolving problems via text rather than in person. Cell phones have provided a way to hide behind technology from emotionally distressing events, such as ending relationships (Campbell, 2005).
In every society nonverbal communication is one of the most powerful tools that a person can use to interpret the message that is being delivered. Even though verbal communication is fairly straightforward, nonverbal communication allows others to sense the true emotions of the person that is expressing them. For example even though a person may say that they are not irritated, their usage of voice may display otherwise. Nonverbal communication not only reveals hidden messages, but it also complements, substitutes, and exaggerates verbal communication.
The “Effects of Text Messaging on College Students’ Perceptions of Personal Health” article just like the two articles all seem to say that texting can have a negative effect on students. “Even though most college students agree that face-to-face communication is more helpful than a text message, college students’ behaviors still favor text messaging.” (Massimini &
Since the start of this class, I have been reminded again and again that the concepts we are learning can be applied to everyday life. For instance, when we talked about non-verbal communication, I realized that it is impossible to not communicate. There are many activities, other than the use of language, that allow us to draw meaning from something we observe. When my mother widens her eyes at me without stating a word, I understand she is telling me to think twice about the action I’m about to take. It has been great to be able to assign concepts and vocabulary to interpersonal relationships and communication activity that I have been experiencing. Now let me introduce you to my friend Izzy and her boyfriend Ken as I analyze the
