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: Assertiveness encourages open, honest, and respectful dialogue. When you communicate assertively, you clearly express your needs, feelings, and boundaries, which helps to build trust and mutual respect in relationships. Even if you don’t get everything you want, you’ll foster a healthier, more understanding dynamic where both parties can share their perspectives. |
