So today we were supposed to do a nice and fun project made by Jackie and Coral, which looked well-made and had a lot of thought put into it too, but some people wouldn't be quiet, so Jackie and Coral could present the project, so now we're writing an essay on why we should be quiet, or why it's polite to be quiet. Being quiet when someone is talking is a very polite thing to do, because it shows that you want to hear the person and what they have to say about a certain topic. Sometimes people don't really care what the person is talking about, and that's rude towards the people that wanted to hear them talk, and the speaker themselves. Being quiet to a speaker shows that you have interest in the conversation, and it also shows respect to everyone …show more content…
It's most polite to be quiet when something tragic happened, like a death, disaster, or injury, because you would be giving silence to the people that have been injured in the accident, or injury. Being quiet is also a very polite thing for people who aren't able to hear in the back, so being quiet will help them hear what the speaker, teacher, intercom have to say, which really helps them, and maybe if you did it for them, they'll do the same for you, which is like the saying "an eye for an eye", or something along that matter. One more thing that you can be quiet for is for things like being in the store, what I mean by this is just not saying anything, so other people can think a bit better, some people have a hard time thinking when there is a lot of background noise, because it is distracting, and could make them go off topic. In conclusion, Being quiet is a real respectable thing to do because it will help people that really need to have a silent room to think correctly, it's really respectful for when people are talking, and for the people that cannot hear the speaker (or whatever is talking for that matter), and so we don't have to skip a day in Mrs. Charlton's class that makes us postpone a really cool assignment I was excited to do, which is really uncool to the people that weren't being quiet and listening to the presintation, Some people would have really enjoyed to do
“meanings lost in manners” (Kay 701). In other words, the polite way in which they communicate
For starters, communicating effectively helps people know that you are listening when they address you. For example, body language is a great way to tell someone you are listening to their conversation. It is rude to text and turn your back to the speaker while they’re talking. However, If people are not communicating to you, kindly ask them to stop and to listen to your statement. We should

In class, I’m quiet and calm but when I’m with my friends, I’m more talkative and the reason is because I feel like during class it should be a place to learn and not to interrupt other’s learning or the teacher’s lecture. My behavior always depends on the place or time I’m located in. Like when I attend church I feel like I should be more respectful and cautious than any other place because it’s such a sacred place to me. Another way I have behaved differently was when I use to work at my old job. I have a small significant amount of patience so at my job I had to be careful and not display any sign of irritation or impatience because my boss did not tolerate any attitude that can affect
James C. Petersen (2007), author of Why Don’t We Listen Better, offers practical advice on how to communicate effectively and connect with others. In order to help his readers, communicate effectively, Petersen (2007) divides his book into five divisions. Each division builds on the content in the preceding portions. Every segment provides a great amount of information, which will aid people in how they choose to communicate.
Silence teaches and creates things, it also leaves things bottled up inside and emotions running astray. In the book, The Chosen the characters didn't always know what was happening with others because they were silent many times. But some could know what each other were talking about like, Danny and Reuven. They could understand each other even when silent because of the close relationship they had Danny's silence is based on "Being raised in silence", "The technique and how it impacted Danny", and "How the method of raising a child can work out"
Every seven minutes a child is bullied. On average, 68 percent of students say that “other kids pick on them, make fun of them or bully them” (“Statistics”). This causes students to turn to violence. bullied or made fun of which cause them to become violent. How much longer are schools going to sit back and do nothing about bullies? Without punishing bullies, students’ will continue to harm themselves to massive extents. Schools are not doing enough to stop or prevent bullying, as demonstrated by the creation of the group Stand for the Silent.
Politeness is known as a courteous manner that displays respects, show deference in society where people live and communicate together (OED online). Furthermore, according to Brown and Levinson (19780, politeness theory is the speaker’s expressions use toward receiver in soft manner of Face Threaten Acts (FTAs) to saving face of addressees. There are four main strategies in politeness theory as: bald-on record, positive politeness, negative politeness and off record. Bald- on record, a type is commonly with people known each other very well and very comfortable in their environment, is reduce the impact of FTAs. Off record is removing the speakers from any imposition whatsoever (Zhan, 1992). “Positive politeness is redress directed to addressee’s positive face” (Brown and Levinson, 1978, p. 101), while negative politeness is making a request less intrude into a person’s private.
I, myself have learned a lot along the way during this Interpersonal Communication class. I have learned how to communicate effectively with those around me by using the information along with tips presented within this class and textbook. In this paper I’ve chosen two communicative behaviors from chapters four and five to improve my skills in; they are making prejudice opinions/judgments toward others and listening.
Learn civility leads to build good relationships with others that make life easier, no one can live alone. According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, civility means politeness and saying nice remarks to others. If we need to be civil to make our live more civil and easier to live, we should:
People that really know me would say that I’m not a quiet person. Even a professor would think that I’m quiet because I did not interact much in the class especially in a discussion class which is because of my culture. In my culture, we would have a lecture class rather than a discussion, so I used to that way of teaching and I would be quiet in the class and it would seem like I did not participate in the discussion when actually I agree and listen to what other people say. From other people 's view, they might think I’m not friendly because I do not interact with them but in the reality is that I don 't what to say or I don’t have anything to say. But for the people who I 'm interested in making friends, I will be the one who starts the conversion and shows interested to
Silence is something that has long been embedded in their culture.”(Rice). The Native Americans communications back in history is that we are not very verbal. My culture back in the past seemed more serious and less talkative than today. Back then in my culture we listened more and waited for our turn to speak, unlike todays generation, we can sometimes interrupt the person talking to put out our own personal opinion or talk about how we emotionally reacted to the topic. Also, in older times in the culture of native Americans, we never really expressed our thoughts and emotions to anyone, if it is a random person we cannot express ourselves unless it 's someone that is family or we have known for a long time. What I mentioned about how my culture in the past about being more quiet and listening instead of talking, is our display rules. The definition of display rules is "when people in a given culture agree about which forms of emotion management and communication are socially desirable and appropriate"(McCornack 119). The display rules from my own experience that I was taught while growing up was to never express my emotions too much to where it can become disrespectful to others, like for example back talking to an older relative with an attitude. Also, I learned the same thing as my cultures past that to be patient when someone is talking and wait my turn, and also to listen
One of the main aspects in communicating is listening. An effective listener is one who, not only comprehends how the speaker feels but, also understands what they are stating. Building a strong connection between the speaker and the listener is one of the first steps to become a good listener. By building this connection speakers should first be in an environment with open minded listeners, it makes them feel more comfortable to state their opinions, feelings and ideas. Listeners should avoid being judgmental. The individual does not have to agree with the ideas, values or opinions of the speaker; however, to fully understand them, one must put aside their criticism. Speakers will believe that they can trust the listeners with their information when they know that they will not be judged. Miscommunication happens frequently, listene...
To be effective listeners, the listening process should be incorporated into our lives. We should be attentive to what people say, clarify what the speaker is trying to come across, and respond in a way the speaker can understand what we are saying. I think I was aware that I needed some improvement in certain areas of this process but I feel as everything is slowly changing. In the future, I’m going try not to interrupt people, get distracted, tune out, and try to get a bigger picture of what the person is telling me. If good listening habits are applied in our day-to-day life, we can easily communicate with anyone and everyone.
Interaction is a significant part of our daily lives. Oral communication with others is inevitable, and therefore it is crucial for us to acquire the skills to do so correctly. Aside from simply stating words or expressing ideas, oral communication serves various purposes. Oral communication allows an individual to express emotions, ideas, and feelings; it gives people the ability to empower, inspire, and motivate those who listen; and it allows people to share knowledge and traditions, as well as build their self-esteem. Oral communication is also useful in leading us to new discoveries, ideas, cultures, and perspectives (O’Neill). Thus, oral communication serves several different purposes in daily life; yet each of these purposes are connected to an even larger purpose. According to the textbook Communication: Making Connections, “Effective communication is critical to living successfully in today’s soc...
