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: Because, passively you wouldn’t be getting anything you want because you wouldn’t be saying what you want or need. Aggressively you wouldn’t get much either because the person wouldn’t want to listen to someone that is just yelling at them and not trying to reason with them. |
