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: Respect and clarity: Assertive communication helps you express your thoughts and needs clearly while respecting the other person. This reduces misunderstandings and fosters healthier, more respectful relationships.
Building self-confidence: By communicating assertively, you reinforce your own self-worth and boundaries. It promotes confidence, reduces resentment, and empowers you to stand up for yourself in a constructive way. |
