Something about Normative Communication

In our daily life, we need to speak every day, speak to friends, to teachers and some strangers. We can make friends through talk to them, but we also can lose some friends through conversation. In my opinion, communication is a good skill which worth to learn about, if a person knows how to talk with different people, he may have lots friends. There are many people want to make friends with him. I think that most important thing during conversation is respect others.

This article mentions that disabilities often feel uncomfortable during conversations, because of people not given them eye contact or subtly avoid in other ways. When I was young, my mother told that do not ask disabilities some embarrassing questions and do not gazing at their deformity part of bodies. So, if I have chance to communicate with some disabilities, I always try to avoid some questions which may cause them feel uncomfortable, I avoid looking at them. During conversation I talking carefully, because I am afraid of some of my words could hurt them. After read this article I know I am wrong, conversation is interactional action if I avoid something information the disabilities will notice it, and they will feel you just think them as a different people, so they will not talk to you more about themselves. Now, if I have chance to talk with disabilities people, I will look their eyes without sympathy and I will speak to them sincerely just let them feel they are not different from other people in my mind, I think that is what they want.

During conversation we also need to respect others cultures. Studying in American we have lots opportunities to work with different people who come from different countries. Different countries have different cultures, all the things we need to do just respect their cultures do not offence them. This article, it has a chart of different race people’s communication styles. It shows that African people have more animation, gesture than Asian people. From this we could see how different cultures make different community style. African people have lots festival which link to music and instruments; they are dancing, singing that make them have a vivid expressions, they good at use gesture to show themselves to people. Compare to African people they have kind of silence actives like writing, reading or something others in door actives, that makes Asian people character are more inclined to silence.

To be concluding, if we respect other during conversation, we respect other people, respect their cultures and don’t judge people’s cultures. If we pay more attention to get into different cultures, it will be easy to talk with other people and have a comfortable conversation.
