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: Communicating assertively keeps situations modest, for example, if someone is yelling at you and you are answering calmly and with assertion, they may begin to realize that they are acting irrational and begin to approach the conversation in the same way that you are. Communicating assertively gains yourself respect. Its a basic principal from elementary school; treat others the way you want to be treated. |
