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: Even though being assertive doesn't always guarantee you’ll get what you want, it’s still important because it builds self-respect and confidence by allowing you to stand up for your needs in a respectful way. It also strengthens relationships by promoting honesty, clarity, and healthy boundaries, which leads to better understanding and mutual respect.
