Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: If you’re assertive, then people will start to recognize that, and will be less likely to step all over you. And even if it doesn’t turn out how you want, it’s good to express how you are feeling and what you want, so that it becomes a habit. If you are assertive, people will know how you feel, and you’re comments will hold more weight. |
