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: You should still communicate assertively because when you don't get what you want you may get mad or irritated and you'll have to control yourself. You also might yell at the person or resent them for not giving you what you want. You still need to learn self control and understand where the person is coming from. |
