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: Often when you don't communicate assertively, neither of the people in the argument stay very calm and nothing gets accomplished. Being aggressive or passive never gets your point across well so it pretty much guarantees that you won't get your way. |
