First, Jessica will acknowledge that the girl's trick is clever and that the school could possibly even choose to suspend disciplinary action, especially if large number of students participate, and to simply revise the dress code policy for the future. Jessica will demonstrate that she gets the humor and that the stunt is completely harmless. She will even express that she might have allowed Julia to participate but for the fact that Julia has already used up her non-official disciplinary actions and that any future disciplinary issues will result in a suspension and a permanent negative entry in her record that could cause more problems than worth risking.
Jessica will remind Julia that Jessica was upset but did not overreact or punish her for her previous disciplinary actions and that Julia promised not to do anything else that school year that could possibly result in another disciplinary action because Jessica explained how important it was that Julia qualify for as much financial assistance as possible for college. Jessica will express that this is the only reason that she has no choice but to forbid conduct that would not necessarily be so bad for Julia if Julia still had a remaining unofficial disciplinary violation. At various appropriate times during their conversation, Jessica will initiate physical gestures such as putting her hand on Julia's arm to underscore the fact that she sympathizes with Julia and that she derives no pleasure from disappointing her or frustrating her. Jessica will also explain that she allows Julia to express herself by never commenting on her clothing in general and even gives her additional money to buy some of the clothes that she only wears outside of school because of school policy. Jessica will also explain that she has no choice but to comply with her employers' dress code even though she herself would be much more comfortable commuting...
arriving on school grounds in appropriate attire..." and, just like the Class Trip Dress Code Policy, it does not specifically prohibit "arriving on school grounds" in a skirt that meets the dress code and then changing into a shorter one in the bathroom. Jessica will ask Julia what she thinks the school's response would be if she were disciplined for wearing a short skirt in class if she said she had a picture of herself "arriving on school ground" in the longer skirt that morning before she changed.
Jessica's communication strategy is designed to accomplish several objectives: to help Julia understand that her planned violation of the dress code policy could cause her and her mother problems that are way out of proportion to the importance of wearing jeans on the trip and that true friends would not want any of their friends to risk suspension if she was facing different risks because she already had used up her unofficial disciplinary actions. Jessica hopes that by drawing parallels between vocational employment dress codes and school dress codes, Julia will understand that her mother also has to follow rules that inconvenience her. Finally, by expressing her understanding (and appreciation) of the humor in the stunt, Jessica hopes to minimize Julia's resentment and help her realize that Jessica's reasoning is genuinely in Julia's best interest and not just a means of controlling her without legitimate justification.
Communication Verbal communication includes the words that are physically spoken, as well as factors, according to the video, such as tone of voice, rhythm of speaking, word choice, and emphasis. Experts and researchers in the field of communication assert that nonverbal communication composes more than half of the communication among people. Nonverbal communication has a variety of factors such as eye contact, gestures, body language, the setting, and even the dress
Communication Skills Self-Assessment Interpersonal Communication Speech and language pathologists are considered to be experts in the field of interpersonal communication. Yet these professionals readily agree that although they may be experts in disorders of communication, they "are not experts in 'communication,' particularly that of interpersonal communication" (Montgomery, 2006). A fundamental reason that someone might not be skilled in interpersonal communication is that they have difficulty attending to and processing all of the
Here, people always attribute causes to actions and happenings, with the belief that everything has an explanation only if we could look deeper enough (Changing Minds, 2011). This theory serves to show how people have very different perspectives to happenings or events in the daily lives, and these varying views can easily stray into power imbalance, prejudice and such like vices ultimately affecting the communication process. Under attribution theory, there

Communication Theories The unique part of the human mind is that it requires two distinct yet complementary sides that work in concert to bring about reality. In most cases the right side of the mind or brain is the more abstract and artistic component. The left side would therefore be a modeling or constructionist component. Using this framework, it is necessary for both components to come together and bring that's side
An example of effective demonstrative communication is when a person is nodding while receiving information from the sender. However, when a person is talking to someone who has his/her arms folded, it's likely to be interpreted that he/she is defensive, cold, or uncomfortable, which is ineffective demonstrative communication. Listening and Responding in Demonstrative Communication: Similar to other forms of communication, listening and responding is an important aspect of demonstrative communication (Sheridan, 2011).
