Reflection Of Exemplary Communication

On this week 's engagement, I would rank my quality of contributions at exemplary. I participated in 5 discussions and 2 video discussions. I responded to the discussion on what is the most effective communication. I explained that I felt face-to-face communication was more effective for me when communicating.

I responded to the millennial post where I stated that I belong to the millennial generation. I expressed my opinion that at times in my experience, it has been harder to communicate with generations older than I because they at times feel that my generation was given things too freely.

I provided a point of view that possibly the parents went to the principal because they felt the principal was of higher standing to them than a teacher. In some cultures, the higher the authority figure the more respect that person has within the culture. Therefore, a
