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: 1. Not having a guaranteed chance of getting what you want should not discourage you from expressing your needs, wants, and thoughts, because communicating honestly can increase your chances of getting what you want. Acting on potential is assertiveness.
2. Communicating your needs, wants, and thoughts honestly and assertively, despite not having a guaranteed chance of having them fulfilled, is beneficial to you and those around you because they can better understand the true nature of your plans. When those around you understand your thoughts, they will have a sense of clarity and may even help support your plans. |
