Case Study:
One way to make communication more effective is to choose the appropriate kind of communication in difficult situations. Read the following scenario.
Geneva has been standing in line for over two hours to buy a concert ticket. The rule is, one person, one ticket. Her feet are killing her and she knows she is in trouble with her mom, who expected her home by now. But there are only five people left in front of her and she is sure she will get a ticket.
Out of nowhere, two girls from school walk up, make a big deal about meeting up with their friend who just happens to be standing in front of Geneva, and take their new places in line in front of her.
