When giving someone bad news you should always use face-to-face communication! Doing this shows respect to Jennifer along with ensuring there is no misunderstanding during the termination.

What are the obstacles to direct communication? Why do social workers need to understand these?
The Range of Barriers to Effective Interpersonal Communications These will look at cultural, personal and environmental issues. The role of available support services that are accessible to individuals, with the restrictions on available services will be evaluated. The effectiveness with which the skills of communication are given and received will also be evaluated. There are many barriers to communications between a vast range of people and cultures. Barriers to communications, because of cultural differences, can arise because of the lack of understanding between each culture, this could cause a
Tardanico discusses how lack of face-to-face communication can lead to miscommunication. She starts off the article with an anecdote about a mother texting her daughter who is away at college and based on the messages exchanged the daughter seems to be doing just fine. She used various emoji’s expressing happiness. No one knew that she had been isolated in her room portraying signs of depression, an entirely different world from the one portrayed on Facebook, Twitter, and to her mother.
Online relationships can be satisfying to a degree, but they are not as satisfying as relationships developed from face-to-face interaction. You can develop a relationship with someone online, but you will not have the same level of comfort that you have with the people you have developed a relationship with face-to-face. With face-to-face relationships I think you develop over time a certain feeling of comfort and familiarity. Because you have seen this person multiple times and have forged a bond of trust and comfort. You can forge this same kind of bond with online relationships as well. Although, it will not have the same strength as that face-to-face relationship you have with someone else. Nowadays with online relationships you have to be careful because you never know if who you are talking to is who they really are. Which can diminish the trust and comfort of that
it’s important to remember that face to face communication has a great amount of value in terms of sincerity and authenticity.
For the Face-to-Face Communication Tactic section the most effective tactic for college students would have to be the special events tactic. This is because it has a little bit of everything. “Annual meetings, groundbreakings, open houses, grand openings, anniversary celebrations, awards/recognition events, sporting events, fundraisers” (Swanson 563). This is because as college students none are exactly alike and with this special mix it allows everyone to be happy. The most effect tactic for parents would be special events as well. This is because like college students the parents will want to focus on what their kids are into. The social events tactic allows for the parents to get an inside peak of what their kids are seeing.
However, “...father- child differences in values may be more strongly associated with family and child adjustment than mother-child differences,” (Relations...Parent-Child – pg 14.) Since fathers are typically the head of the house, especially in many Asian immigrant families, they are the ones to enforce the rules and punish the child or children. This leaves no question that a child, especially one trying to find themselves, will rebel against their rule making strict father; creating a strain in the relationship with their father who can't seem to understand the child's rebellion toward him, his rules, and their culture. Along with problems any family could go through, “Language barriers may present concrete obstacles to effective communication, which may increase the likelihood of intense conflict,” (Relations...Parent-Child – pg 3.) When growing up in America, English is the language taught in schools and spoken pretty much everywhere. This serves as a problem for immigrant parents that have children who pick up English faster than their native tongue. This causes a strain in parent-child communication. However this is not the only problem with communication.
Hi Heidy, first of all I enjoy reading your post. I am sorry to hear that happened to you. But, things happen for a reason and it is for the best. Probably he did not have the courage to be honest and open with you. I have not being through that situation because in my past relationships, it ended up in a faded away disengagement strategy and I was not really into it due to my job. I new that those relationships were not going to work because I was working long hours and traveling a lot. Over time the communication was less and less until it was completely over. But once I meet my husband, it was different because it felt different and I just knew that the relationship was going to work. I prefer people to use the strategy of openness disengagement because they are being honest and clear about their feeling towards the other person.
Effective communication is much more than just the exchange of information; it is about understanding the intentions and emotions behind a discussion. Effectively communicating requires active participation from everyone involved. Each individual needs to ensure that the message being conveyed is the message being received and understood by the listeners in the way it is intended. Furthermore, active listening is required to help an individual feel understood and heard.
Communication is a way of life for sociable organisms on earth. There are many forms of communication and several are used without saying a word or making a sound. With the types of communication in the world, communicating effectively may seem an unlikely idea. Effective communication between two individuals or more is dependable on the way the message from the sender has encoded the information. Effective communication insists that information sent should be received and retransmitted back to the sender without any loss in translation. To understand communication, it must first be broken down so that each
M1 Connor Ager Unit 4 Introduction The different types of communication can vary. I have outlined their advantages and disadvantages throughout written communication, verbal communication and screen based communication is used within Kuoni. Written Written communication is where something is on a piece of paper which includes graphs and charts which may explain how a product is operating or a business and therefore is an important part of communication. Written communication may be used between customers and staff or internally within the organisation. The written communication internal sources could be about the finance of Kuoni and how it is operating for example profits and costs to the business. In the sales department there would be data
Is anyone wrong in this situation? By what other means could Randell have requested the information from Tom Ballard? What do you think of Tom Ballard’s reaction? Why?
Non-verbal communication is an essential form of expression; it can support a verbal context or merely be the only method of relying on an idea or thought. Interpersonal and Group Dynamic textbook states “non-verbal communication is the primary way we communicate feelings, attitudes and emotions” (p.159). This manifestation can be transmitted through body language, facial expression to murmuring, thus understanding this form of communication is crucial since it can open or close a dialogue. Whereas, someone who is non-expressive, or has closed body language, it can be interpreted to be arrogant or not willing to exchange in a conversation. In this section of the course, I came to realize my non-verbal communication style is both negative and positive. The negative aspect is my body being restless or closed while distracted by other
For the next two questions, I asked Darryl and Dallas to reflect on the others manliness and then their personal development in relation to each other. I began the second interview question asking if the guys could “constitute a time when your son/dad did something you viewed as manly”. Both father and son answered this question by using examples of “manly activities” that they witnessed the other completing, expressing how it made the other seem more responsible or strong. Darryl said he is watching Dallas become more of a man as he now takes out the trash or does other household duties with initiative or without being prodded. Dallas reflected on watching his dad mow grass in the summer, shovel snow in the winter, and exercise in his spare time. He explained how watching Darryl engage in these activities constituted them as manly in his mind because his dad was “using his body and growing stronger which is what men do” (Dallas Todd, personal communication, 2017 October 10). I followed up by asking Darryl and Dallas how the other has played a role in their personal development in becoming a better man. Contrarily, they did not refer to activities when answering this question, instead they focused on emotional strength. Darryl spoke about how Dallas has built is level of patience and how he still has high expectations of people, but his son has helped him communicate in a way that is more forgiving when those expectations are not met. When I asked Dallas the same question,
