Turner M w1 Identity
Throughout the day, communication develops between people as we walk past each other with a friendly smile and a simple hello. After reading Communication in a Changing World by Bethami A. Dobkin and Roger C. Pace, communicating skills are essential to building positive relationships with family, co-workers, and peers of different genders and cultures.

Having self awareness can affect the way I communicate with others.

I would be more comfortable talking to strangers online rather than in person. I have to be careful when communicating with people face to face. I might not want to say the wrong thing or my body language will probably show if I dislike a conversation or disagree with someone. Now chatting online, I won’t be
