A day in the life of a veterinary technician may include answering clients’ questions, providing written or verbal instructions regarding care of an animal, answering the telephone,

Throughout this semester reading about different ways of interpersonal communication I came to the realization that there were many things I could work on to better myself as a person. Things I never thought about in depth until taking this class. Areas I have improved on throughout this semester are using I language more than the use of you language, what empathy was and how I choose to become better and lastly how I deal with conflict.

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

On Monday 23 May 2016, at approximately 1339hrs, I 6246 Leading Rate Joseph S was in my office at the Welfare/Housing department located at #31 St. Vincent Street Port of Spain. Present in the office at the time was Sgt Cassie R and L/Cpl Neptune. Whilst performing my daily duties in the office, I was about to use the telefax machine to make a copy of a document which is not an unusual function carried out by the members of the office. As I was about to do so, I was stopped by Sgt Cassie who said “yuh can’t copy nuttin they.” Being a bit confused about his uttered word I asked the question “why Sgt Cassie.” He then replied in a loud tone “don’t make no fucking copy LR.” I responded to the Sgt by saying “I am a grown woman bordering Petty

Interpersonal communication is key to the life of a healthy relationship or marriage. Without communicating relationships and marriage will end failing. One of the biggest challenges with interpersonal communication lies in our ability to share our thoughts and concerns, conducted by feelings, desires, goals and needs, with another person

Today was the first day of class and it worked fairly well overall. I was primarily concerned with just getting my bearing and understanding how the class would operate, I learned how most of the classes would involve a mix of physical activity, acting practice and a little bit of lecture time. The only actual acting that took place was the reading of the academic honesty pledge. Even so, I still think that I got some good practice and feedback out of it, my pacing is very good and I’m definitely much more confident than I ever was back in high school. I do still need to learn to better prepare myself immediately before I begin my piece. I anticipate I will have a lot more to write about in my next entry when class starts in earnest.

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

Upon receiving my special project, I took the opportunity to approach it as a new challenging task but with the commitment to make it a learning and teaching opportunity for myself. The main objective for this project was to enhance my knowledge and to adhere to what is one of my weaknesses, group presentations. I was provided with the assignment of three post conferences to be completed by the end of the semester. When delegating topics to present, I focused on the tentative schedule and selected one disease to present in each post conference. My selection was based on utilizing the time I had, as a benefit for both students and I to learn something that was involved in our curriculum. The topics I choose to discuss in my post conferences

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.

Additionally, I recognize effective listening to be a weakness in my relationship with my husband. When communicating, we bout want to get our point across. Unfortunately, attending to the message of the speaker is never the goal. But with the knowledge that I've gained in this class, I intend to apply it with the hopes of consequently enhancing my communication skills. In the following text, I will share my plan with you.

The first chapter, “A First Look at Interpersonal Communication”, defines what interpersonal communications is and its different modeled process. According to Martin Buber, there are three different types of communication. The first is I-It communication, in which we treat others as objects (students are referred as ID numbers), the second is I-you communication, in which we don’t fully engage with people but consider them more than objects (Salesperson asks if we need help or not). The last one is I-thou communication, in which people deeply understand each other and communicate thoroughly. According to the book, the definition of interpersonal communication is selective and systemic

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.

Our ability to communicate well with others is important to personal and professional success. The interpersonal communications course is planned to help us in being familiar with the system of effective, and to assess our own interpersonal ability to sharpen our critical understanding of the communication, also to improve the interpersonal skills. Mainly assess our interpersonal skills and to put in goals for improving our communications ability. To development of self-concept and identity are examined as basics for understanding personal communication. We explore our own communication behaviors and to identify areas of personal strengths and
