Communicating with Other Cultures

Yes, I find myself communicating differently with different groups of people. When I speak with my students I find myself talking firmly when they are doing something wrong but I also speak to them with affection to let them know that I love them but they have to follow the rules. When I taught I expect them to listen and not taught. I do the same to them when they are talking whether they are repeating their selves over and over.

When I speak with my family, I speak more calmly and with confident because I know that they accept me for who I am. When we are talking we interrupt each other and even finish each other’s sentences.

When I speak with my parents, I speak and I listen. I hear them out before I start talking. At times, I may node my head to make them aware that I hear them loud and clear. I want the lines of communication to stay open because I want the best for them and their child. I want my parents to know that I am there for their child and that I value what they bring to the table.
