 Communication 2110

 The main project of this course was to change a communication weakness. I found so many concepts that are valuable to building self-esteem that the hard part was to find implementable. I plan on continuing on improving my interpersonal communication skills. I found that a positive self-esteem can influence how I see the world.

Armed with the knowledge of self talk I feel I can manage my moods and feelings. In the work place it is important not to take anything personal. In the past I would dwell on negative feedback from employers and co-workers. Now I hope to use positive intrapersonal communication to stop the mental dwelling of negative feedback. Moreover, I have learned that negative moods can influence others to have  negative moods. In the workplace it is valuable to keep a positive perspective for the whole team. 

Consequently, I have used this assignment to broaden my perspective with altruism. I use the tool of intrpersonal communication to consider others. I am taking an international studies class that forces natural born citizens to consider how immigrants feel. This assignment outlines my struggle to be excepted. I use such ideas to empathize with immigrants. I realize that as human beings we want to be loved, respected, and safe.
