Write an essay, consider your own practices of verbal and nonverbal communication in interpersonal contexts. Begin by identifying two different relationships in your life where you communicate with someone else regularly (with roommates, family, friends, coworkers, teammates, classmates, etc) and compare your communication styles. For each relationship, identify one communication-based strength you have, identify at least one area issue/weakness with your communication, and offer a suggestion for how to improve your communication.
Throughout your essay, you should specifically reference course concepts. When doing so, make sure to include the following information.
Accurately define all course concepts and theories that you use in your paper.
Accurately explain what these course concepts and theories that you use in your paper are about in your own words.
Accurately apply and illustrate these course concepts and theories with vivid, personal examples from the relationship that demonstrate your understanding.
