Interpersonal conflict happens in every relationship. It is inevitable when two or more people disagree on something. Conflict is a result of a misunderstanding because of a miscommunication. In the movie Hitch (Mordaunt & Tadross, 2005) we can notice an interpersonal conflict between two people due to a lack of communication. Communication is a key role in any relationship, whether platonic or an intimate relationship. When starting a relationship it is primordial to be able to communicate effectively from the beginning in order to avoid any conflict. However “people are usually cautious about what they tell each other and how they say it, and they make a conscious effort to present positive information about themselves and to avoid conflict” (Sole, 2011).…
Communication is a huge part of being human and allows us to connect with others on a deeper level because when we communicate we convey our thought, opinions and personal understanding of the world. The quote of Tubbs and Moss best describe the emissive part communication plays in our lives, humans ‘spend about 75 per cent of each day communicating’ (LMC107 course outline 2013:1). Communication is a sequence of events, dynamic, never-ending and ever-changing process meaning it has no fixed beginning nor end, nor fixed sequence of event in it from this viewpoint, communication can be define as a complex and dynamic process of exchanging meaningful messages (Introduction to communication 2013:13). This process has different components that influence and occur during an exchange of communication.…

In life, one of the actions that people mostly use is communicating. It is known as the everyday norm. Whether it is saying hello to the mailman, talking to our boss regarding the next project assignment, our spouse about where our next romantic date night will be, it is something that we do without on a daily without hesitation. Without communicating, people will not able to stay connected and understand each other.…
Communication, verbal or non-verbal, is an essential part of human life. Without it we would be unable to convey our basic needs, wishes and feelings, or understand those of others. As individuals we can talk, listen, touch and see in order to be socially engaged and to realise our status in society and to allow others to become aware of their needs.…
Now, Chris and his son are forced to live on the streets and in and out of shelters until he can find a steady job. He finds a job as a stockbroker but before he can make pay, he has to go through six months of training. In the movie, it shows many examples of communication concepts that we have went over in class. I feel like the most prominent communication concepts used were: self-presentation, improving oneself, and perception. Chris Gardner does his best, with what he has, to self present himself very well.…
Making the conversation more effective with the other person would have been easier than someone telling the other person what to say. Interpersonal conflict was not handled effectively or in a good way in the movie until the end. There were many parts in the movie where Hitch and Albert, his client, were yelling at each other. When people are yelling at each other, they cannot get their point across because they cannot hear each other.…

The success of every relationship whether it’s personal or professional relies on a person’s ability to communicate effectively. Becoming a skilled communicator requires learning the elements necessary for effective public speaking, interpersonal relationships, and business relations. The four basic elements of effective communication are sender, receiver, message, and feedback. The first component is the sender/receiver which acts as a transceiver by speaking to someone and receiving nonverbal feedback simultaneously. “The message is the idea, thought, feeling, or opinion to be communicated” (Cheesebro, O’Connor, & Rios, 2010, chap 1). It is important to recognize not only the content of the message, but also the nonverbal communication that you may be sending as well. “Feedback is the receiver’s response to the message and indicates how the message is seen, heard, and understood, and often how the receiver feels about the message and/or the sender” (Cheesebro, O’Connor, & Rios, 2010, chap 1).…
Communications break boundaries and bring connections between people. In “Some Friends and I Started Talking: Conversation and Social Change,” Margaret J. Wheatley describes communication as “a timeless and reliable way for humans to think together” (312). As human, communication is an essential need for everyday survival. It also brings people closer as they have a better understanding of each other through communication.…
Communication has traditionally been viewed as an exchange of information from one individual to another. This exchange should not only be made by the way a message is conveyed, but how it’s reciprocated. It’s a two-way street and can not be done by one person. Although some consider communicating to be “frustrating” and “emotionally draining”, it is said when done correctly, can be the key to the expansion of new opportunities and strengthening one’s ability to connect with others.…
