This is probably my favorite quote from his text. It is realistic and it is clear that this is a skill you learn throughout your whole life. This class just gives you a level-up that you may not have if you did not take it. It will make you more aware of things you may not have even known were a fault before. I also think that learning to be more mindful of those we are communicating with will help us to communicate in general. Therefore creating a better social cycle for those involved.

Learning communication or simply getting better at it is not only beneficial to the person taking the class but also to those around them. People can most definitely appreciate someone who can communicate simply and being able to get a point across. It is all-in-all a beneficial tool to everyone involved with it. It is also safe to say that it can help benefit most if not all people who use it well and appropriately.

I think this claim is really important to point out. Namely, because it is very true. Every little thing influences how what we say is perceived and how we personally perceive those things. I think with this, I can argue that this is why how we say things matter. If you're at a library and you are screaming about the outfit you have on, versus being with your friend doing the same action. One will most definitely be seen in a negative light as the other situation will be perceived more positively.

I find it interesting that such great influences are so stuck on this concept of communication. Which completely makes sense we are a relational species and to thrive we need to communicate with each other. I think if anyone was to study hard on this it would be Aristotle. Though, his argument for rhetoric was that it could be seen as vanity in some cases "mere rhetoric." Is this communication just for show or is there a point to it.

Public speaking has always been one of my weak points. I think standing up in front of people to deliver a point is absolutely terrifying. Therefore causing me to not deliver a clear message. However, I think when you think less of yourself and more about the message you want people to get out of it, it can be a great help. I hope to get better at this later on to clearly be able to convey the message I am trying to get across. And it is nice that there is.
