When two people decide to get married and spend the rest of their lives together, they don’t plan on their past individual experiences getting in the way of their happiness as a couple. Research has shown that when the couple finds themselves in an unhappy marital relationship, they find themselves contemplating divorce because they lack the proper tools for effective communication (Buehlman, Gottman, & Katz, 1992). Effective communication learned in the early years of marriage will build a stable, healthy, and active union, which involves keeping alive feelings that brought the couple together in the first place (Honeycutt, 1999). Studies conducted on this topic (Driver & Gottman, 2004) determined that effective communication and interaction play a part in how couples detour from the dirt road of divorce and get back on the highway of happily ever after.

The importance of communication is crucial. Being able to communicate with one another allows an individual to create a moment of expression towards a particular interest they have, that the other person did not know, but also creates a uniformed understanding amongst both people. It is important to communicate because it also allows others to gain lacked information that could have not been heard or forgotten. Being able to communicate will not only allow you to express how you feel, but it gives others the insight into the way you are feeling if you are able to express in such a way. For example, if a teacher tells a class that their assignment is due at a particular time, then by expressing that to other students they may be able to receive the information needed. Furthermore, with communication also comes organization. Being able to communicate, for example, in a workplace will also help lead to the organization of a business. If all of its employees are able to work together than there is a more likely chance that the business will begin to grow, but it will also look more uniformed, organized. In particular, in college, it is essential to communicate because it is inevitable that we will be required to work in groups. If a person in the grow is struggling or not on the same page as the rest of the group than that will reflect poorly among the group as a whole. Being able to communicate will allow the student to receive the help that they need because without it than

Effective Business Communication requires order, accuracy, organization, and significance. When the Business Communication class began, I felt that I communicate effectively in my current job. I learned some new ideas and practices that I will incorporate into my work. I also discovered some new ideas that I will use in future positions I hope to attain. “No matter what job you have in life, your success will be determined 5% by your academic credentials, 15% by your professional experiences, and 80% by your communication skills.” -Author Unknown

Possessing solid communication skills in today’s society is a fundamental requirement for the successful individual. As indicated in “Unit 2: Who Are You”, “Individuals possessing strong communication skills naturally advance" (Bethel University, 2014, p.4) the ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing ultimately determines the success of the individual and the organization they represent.

Some people do not understand the importance of communication. Being able to communicate effectively, is the most important life skill a person can use. From the time we are born, how fast we learn and the things we learn come from our family. Communication is defined as “The exchange of information or knowledge, as by speech, signals, writing, or non-verbal communication.” Bryan Golden says, “To be understood you must first understand.” Everyone seems so desperate to be understood, they forget to understand. Often people walk away from conversations not fully understanding what the person said or meant. Simple miscommunication can cause big problems in relationships, work, or life at home. A person’s body language, facial expressions, volume,

Deaf and hard of hearing (HH) patients often experience difficulty in communicating and understanding medication information provided by pharmacists due to communication barriers. They tend to nod “yes” and pretend to have understood pharmacists’ explanations and thus do not ask them to repeat their statements (Ferguson & Liu, 2015 ; Ralston, Zazove, & Gorenflo, 1996). It was reported that only 30% of pharmacists feel comfortable interacting with deaf patients (Ferguson and Shan). Inadequate communication in medical settings and a lack of understanding about medication can lead to misdiagnosis and misunderstandings. Therefore, it is crucial for pharmacists to check that deaf patients understand how to take their prescribed medicines and are aware of any adverse events to ensure a safe and effective healthcare (Ferguson & Shan, in press).

Recently, I was asked to write about a time when I failed to effectively communicate. I have failed to do so in many situations when I was younger, but those times are nothing compared to my worst miscommunication ever! In this case, I failed to effectively communicate with my parents. As a result, I was in deep trouble.

Miscommunication is simply when two or more people fail to send and receive messages clearly or adequately. Surely we have all had our fair share of miscommunicating something to someone at some point in our lives. We may have said something that we didn’t intend to come off as harsh, but the receiver perceived it to be. When they perceived it this way it made it kind of difficult to get them them to understand that the message was not intended to be offensive, however, they took it anyway. Miscommunication is a big issue in today’s relationships. When it comes to romantic relationships, things are a lot different now than how they were in the 1950’s. From the morals, values, upbringing, culture, and ways of thinking, people in today’s generation don’t communicate exactly how couples did back then. Because of ego-involvement, fear, and trust issues (that this generation seems to struggle with), people find it harder to communicate with their partner which ultimately leads to baggage, fights, breakups, and unhealthy relationships. To understand why miscommunication is a huge issue in today’s romantic relationships, it is important to look at history and the time periods before to grasp why we do the things we do so we are better able to make changes and have more fulfilling relationships. The mid 19th century was more concerned about their morals and values they learned in their upbringing which consisted of not giving up when times get hard and fighting for their

It is obvious how crucial a mutual language is needed within our everyday lives. There are many ways in which language barriers have affected our society by creating conflict with communication in healthcare, leading to less people attending clinics/hospitals, and leading to an increase of people with drug complications.

What if a nurse, failing to communicate effectively, resulted in a patient falling, developing a worsening disease, or die unexpectedly? Nurses have a major responsibility of communicating with a patient effectively on their level of understanding. Health literacy is not widely understood; therefore, part of a nurse’s responsibility is to be able to make the instructions or information presentable in way in which the patient grasps and understands the information (Spotlight). Effective communications consist of many components: listening, nonverbal communication, questions, and the use of facilitators (AAOHN journal).

In today’s global markets, organization is filled with a wide array of employees from all across the world with all kind of cultures, effective communication is critical for success. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the different aspect of effective communication in a diverse organization and to sample communication barriers between different culture and the ways organizations do to improve communication to enhance interaction among employees with different cultures. A person’s effective communicating to understand of different cultures in a diverse workplace will enhance the individual ability to foster successful and professional work experience. On the other hand, misinterpretation can be attributed to lack of understanding or inexperience of culture different among co-workers.

The famous physicist Albert Einstein said: “The greatest danger in modern technology is not that machines begin to think but that people will begin to think like machines.” It is true that technology has become more and more popular, not only in people’s daily lives, but it influenced the development of counties. The technology used for communication have changed the dynamics of human interaction, and it also has affected the contact with each other in various ways. Has this been a positive or negative development? Even though some people hold the view that too many technological advancements in communication cause people more isolation, there is no doubt that technology has improved contact with others in different ways, such as it widens the scope of knowledge and promote human relationship, the quality of communication and it is beneficial for time-saving as well. According to Li xin and Li-Chiou, web technologies have built up e-commerce, information sharing, business management and delivering services in the past 20 years (Tao, Chen, 2012, p.9-16). Which supports my idea that technology is improving people’s communication and business activities.

Throughout our lives we have been taught the importance of good communication skills. Most college students are familiar with the aspect of good communication, but everyone seems to avoid explaining poor communication in detail. I believe the best way to practice good communication is to understand what poor communication is and to analyze how you may be practicing poor communication without proper knowledge. We use communication to express our thoughts and opinions. Communication takes place in many methods the main method of communication includes verbal, written, nonverbal and listening.

Communication was one of the first things I experienced as a child. My mom always spoke kind words to me, such as intelligent, strong, capable and extraordinary to me each day. I made her smile, a smile brighter than the sun, each time I tried to pronounce the words back to her. Her words caused me feel as though I were the only person that matter in the world to her. The words of my mom made helped me to be a confident person as a young child.

Communication is one of the most important concepts in the contemporary society and it is largely responsible for most successful relationships today. With billions of verbal and non-verbal messages being sent on a daily basis it is essential for society to acknowledge the importance of making communication as effective as possible. This means that people need to have a complex understanding of the process by analyzing factors responsible for making communication effective and factors responsible for making it ineffective. Communication processes where individuals fail to effectively put across their thinking can cause confusion, frustration, and a low self-esteem.
