Overview
"As you probably figured out, all five statements are generally false. As you read this text, youll discover not only why these beliefs are false but also the trouble you can get into when you assume theyre true. For now and in brief, here are some of the reasons why each statement is (generally) false: (1) Effective communication is learned; all of us can improve our abilities and become more effective communicators. (2) It isnt the amount of communication that matters, its the quality. If you practice bad habits, youre more likely to grow less effective than more effective. (3) Because each interpersonal situation is unique, the type of communication appropriate in one situation may not be appropriate in another. (4) Ignoring differences will often create problems; people from different cultures may, for example, follow different rules for what is and what is not appropriate in interpersonal communication. (5) All meaningful relationships experience conflict; the trick is to manage it effectively. This is a good place to start practicing the critical thinking skill of questioning commonly held assumptions-about communication and about yourself as a communicator. Do your beliefs limit your thinking about communication? For example, do you believe that certain kinds of communication are beyond your capabilities? Do you impose limits on how you see yourself as a communicator?"-- Provided by publisher.
