    Additionally, listening and questioning are principles in creating valuable communication with others. As the text describes, listening isn’t just waiting for the other person to finish speaking, its listening to the content and feelings of the message. Successful questioning is knowing what types of questions to ask to obtain the information needed. One type of question that is effective is using open-ended questions, which allows the participant to give more detailed answers, rather than just a yes or no response. Lastly, staying directed and keeping the conversation focused on the issues or problems at hand, will lead to effective…

    A simple, and possibly the best, way to educate ourselves on those who are dying from a terminal cancer could be listening and asking questions when we do not know something about them or their condition rather than just assuming the answer. Listening to learn, understand, and empathize would prevent us from stereotyping, assuming differences/similarities, being prejudice, and simply just offending someone due to our ignorance when we speak to or about them. This is definitely a good approach to learning more about anyone who may differ from us, no matter the scenario. If we fail to adapt the way we communicate, and we are not aware of what we are saying and its possible impact on the other person(s) then we may create conflict within that relationship. It could possibly make people view us in a negative way just for the simple fact that we were not mindful of what we were saying.…
