Last day

Well, at first I was takin this class because it's required for my major, I wasn't into it vecause I thought it would be all talking and that's it. However, after a few weeks I changed my opinion because I learned that communication is not only speaking, but listening; in addition, there are other types of communication such as non verbal. I learned that communication is an art because because every individual communicates in an unique way. This class made me realized that sometimes you have to say im sorry even if you think you don't have to say it. For instance, I hae a friend that tents to get upset very quickly so we have had situation where we don't talk to each other for days even for weeks. But now when she wants to argue about something I talk to her like very calm because before I always argued with her or ignored her because sometimes she exagerated the issue.now I say i'm sorry if I have to because I'm not always right. I think acting in a defency or argumentative way does not get anywhere.

Communication can be learned throughout the person's expience but also it can be learn in school. Communication is more thatn being understood, it is how you are being understood. Sometimes the way we express something is not always what we meant to say. For example, if a guy sees his ex girlfriend in a bar and sent her a drink because he wanted to go to her, if she takes the drink he might think that she wants to talk to him too, but it might be that she really like the drink and she doesnt want to reject it. Also, might be that she thought he just wanted to be seen. Who knows what else could be. The point is that an action or a word can be interpretered in many ways so becareful.

And yes! This class met my expectations I learn so many things that I can apply to my life to make it better. I think this class was very completed due to the fact that we did many group activities and when the teacher explained a chapter he gave us example which we could relate to. The only thing was that sometimes the teacher was talking about a topic and then he jumped to another one which made him forgot what he was talking before but it was a pleasure for me to be part of this class.

P.s. Our world is created by words.
