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: Choosing to communicate assertively is important because it helps establish respect and clarity in your relationships, making it easier for others to understand your needs and boundaries. Additionally, assertive communication promotes self-confidence and reduces stress, as you express your opinions honestly rather than bottling up feelings or resorting to passive or aggressive behavior. |
