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: The main reason is that people can start respecting what you want and take you seriously. You might not get your way the first time, but by putting yourself out there, you show others that you want to be respected. The second reason is so you can gain more control over your decisions and voice your opinion to others, in a respectful way. If you don't agree, that's fine but my opinion matters too. |
