Personal Communication Style Of The Family And Community

I pledge to support the honor system of Old Dominion University. I will refrain from any form of academic dishonesty or deception, such as cheating or plagiarism. I am aware that as a member of the academic community, it is my responsibility to turn in all suspected violators of the honor system. I will report to Honor Council hearings if I am summoned.” By attending Old Dominion University you have accepted the responsibility to abide by this code. This is an institutional policy, approved by the Board of Visitors.

I consider myself primarily a Feeler when it comes to communication, since I value getting to know people, hearing their stories and understanding their backgrounds when I am working with them. I enjoy talking openly as I make acquaintances or get to know new colleagues. For my secondary communicator style, I believe I am a Senser. Once I have gotten to know someone, I keep focused on the task at hand and attempt to complete it promptly and diligently. Both at college and with my work experience, I have noticed that it is easy to get distracted and talk about our daily lives and worries. However, I can also stay on the task at hand when completely on task.

There are two main elements that are used when measuring communication within families. The first one being conversation orientation, the degree to which families create a communication environment in which all family members are encouraged to participate in unrestrained interaction about a wide range of topics (Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002b). Families who

Family is important in every culture, it shapes people and makes them who they are.

Family is very important in my culture. The ideal family has a mom and dad who are married to each other. Families who are different are usually expected to be looking for a way to achieve a parent partnership or looking for a way to achieve the look of a parent partnership. Children are supposed to be raised to be self-reliant and contributing members to society. Most children are sent to school to learn how to fit in with the rest of the culture. Those children who don't go to school are looked at differently by the rest of the culture. Children are supposed to be reasoned with, so they can become responsible adults; however, many parents discipline by taking away privileges. Children are supposed to be taught to be responsible for their actions.

The family is the first institution of the five basic social institutions. It is responsible for developing the behavior of each person to be interactive individuals in society. It is responsible for supplying the basic needs of each person during their development. Unfortunately, the image of family has been deteriorated considerably. Instead of being a system support for people, it has become a double edged sword. Society is at fault for how bad the concept of family is today. It is just takes watching the news on television or to reading the newspaper to realize this. We can see headlines like "Father abused his daughter", “Woman is victim of domestic violence", "Child suicide due to

Every family is different and the same in their own way. Everyone functions with different roles and plays a part in how it functions on the day to day. While some people don’t put much thought into it, Dr. Murray Bowen has. ‘Dr. Murray Bowen suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another, but rather as part of their family.’ (GenoPro) Eight concepts are

Communication pattern among the family varies, depending on the situation. There are times when communication is clear and concise and there are times when emotions are heightened and tense, especially between D and V. V is the primary caregiver and primary keeper of the home. V and D do consult each other on issues that concern the children but V is the one who delivers the decision or message to the children. V and D both work and contribute financially to the family and household. D’s

The discourse community I share with my sister is no different. It has existed since we first gained conscious awareness of one another, and has continued to develop over the years. My interactions with my sister, from our methods of communications to our range of actions and responses have all played a viable role in developing the bonds between us. These elements come together toward a common sense of familial care and appreciation for one another. One point in particular, which this community continuously makes in our everyday lives is that of communication.

: Communication with families is one of my top priorities and I have found ways to make it better throughout the years. Since the student’s learning begins at home, I believe that the teacher and guardian should have a close connection for the benefit of the student. I say guardian because there are a lot of students that do not live with their parents so I do it to avoid any hurts feelings. Mr. Ambrosio wants his students’ guardians to always know what they are doing so he created a type of newsletter for the classroom and sends it out weekly. The newsletter includes the weekly schedule and any announcements that the guardian needs to know about. He also emails them since at times the guardians don’t receive the physical copy. He stated that

Good communication is key to having successful personal and professional relationships. In some situations it can be necessary to adjust communication styles in order to communicate more successfully (B. Reece & Reece, 2017). In this journal entry I will discuss the dominance, and sociability scales, as well as my own personal communication style.

My family has always been very close. We spend a great deal of time together and express our deep feelings and emotions with one another. If one of us has an issue, every member of the family is aware of it and shares the burden. When a person in the family does not share significant information about one’s life with the rest of the members, there is hurt feelings. Also, if a member cannot attend a family event, the family feels disappointed and misses the absent member. It is evident that connectedness is held as extremely valuable.

Most people do not think their family has a culture. They associate culture with countries and ethnic groups. But the family for most people is just a group of family people who do what they always do. Directly and subtly, children are shaped by the family culture in which they are born. At the stage of growth, their assumptions about what is right or wrong, good and bad, reflect the beliefs, values, and traditions of the family culture. Most take their family manners for granted and bring into adulthood numerous attitudes and behaviors acquired in childhood. Even those who later reject all or part of the family culture often find that they are not totally free of their early influences. 1

Communication is a vital part of everyday life. Without communication we would not be allowed to express feelings, needs or even wants. 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.

Two of the most prevalent forms of communication styles are direct and indirect communication; these two communication styles impact how members of a culture interact with each other (Morreale & Pearson, 2008). According to Craddock (2002), Kierkegaard, regarded direct communication, “as the mode for transferring information and considered it totally appropriate to the fields of history, science, and related disciplines” (p. 70). Direct communication can be defined as, “speech that specifically states and directs an action. When someone hears direct speech, they know immediately what needs to be done. There is no question about who is in charge, and usually no need for discussion” (Gaddis, 2006, p. 11). On the other hand, Kiergaard believed that, “the indirect was the mode for eliciting capability and action from within the listener, a transaction that did not occur by giving the hearer some information” (Craddock, 2002, p. 70). Unlike direct communication, “a indirect style of speech is not typically authoritative, rather it encourages input from the listener” (Gaddis, 2006, p. 11). The direct and indirect communication styles are often used in different fields, disciplines, and industries ranging from education, workplace, literature, and entertainment, to church services (Morreale & Pearson, 2008). For example, the population relies on the news media as the main source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting decisions” (Fog, 1999, p.
