Business communication, arguments, miscommunication
How might argumentation differ in the classroom, daily life, and your job? To demonstrate this, select a position from a current event with which you are familiar. How would you argue this position in the classroom, daily life, and on the job? Would you use different supporting evidence to make your argument? What expectations would you have of someone arguing a position to you in each of these different settings?
Is communication inherently the same whether it is done over the phone, through the computer, or in person? Why would a manager choose to convey especially good or bad news in person to her team of employees instead of through e-mail? What is one instance where you have miscommunicated something? What could you have done differently to facilitate clearer communication?
