Author Markus Zusak wrote in The Book Thief: "I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” Think about the importance of words and then think about the following questions when responding:  How powerful are words? Are people responsible if their words are used for insidious purposes?Words can be very powerful in so many different ways; there is the way of being polite and the way of being plain right out rude. Now I am normally good and polite, but with another family member living with us now my politeness is about out the window right now here at home. I blew up once at this person when I was not on my medication for about two months last year. For now, I try to have my partner take care of the communication with him. This person is not on his medications so I refuse to communicate with him because of that. Ok sorry, I think I went a little off-topic lol. Yes, if you are going to be rude or use your words for insidious purposes you should be held responsible for those words/that rudeness. How would you define "good" communication? When people communicate with you, what communication style do you prefer?Good communication is being polite to one another and you should look at both sides of the story before it becomes a problem. I prefer for others to speak to me politely and them being open-minded when it comes to our discussions or whatnot. Now with my partner we do not fight at all we may disagree on things but we do not fight about anything lol. But I also chew him out a lot about things but that is just left at that too lol. My partner and I have been together for 18 years now and we are still doing great lol. Can you think of any specific situations where you used words to fix a problem? What about a situation where your words caused more harm than good?I cannot think of any situations at this time for both of these questions. |
