Discussion Post
The use of language is influenced by a number of social factors: the participants in the conversation and their roles, the setting, and the purpose for the conversation.
For this discussion, respond to the following:
a) Identify how word arrangement, word choice, or intended meaning may create misunderstandings. Share a personal or professional example to demonstrate the misunderstanding. Was the misunderstanding resolved? If so, how?
b) After reviewing the information on verbal communication, what adjustments would you make in your verbal communication skills to alleviate possible misunderstandings?
