Interpersonal communication

I would like to add more details supporting the sub-field of interpersonal communication and the studies around it. I want to provide examples of advantages and disadvantages of practicing these types of communications skills as well as consequences if not implemented properly. Ultimately I would like to shed light on this discipline and how it relates to other disciplines like sociology, psychology, etc. My goal is to provide more information to support the social context, relationship dynamic and verbal and nonverbal aspects of interpersonal communication. I think these topics play a key role in the constituent view and structure of communication within relationships so I want to provide a more in-depth look while remaining neutral on its importance.

Evaluate an Article

This article discusses theoretic view on interpersonal communication and what it consists of. It is an in depth view of different form of communication that gives a brief overview of the background culture of verbal and nonverbal influences. The author did a great job on explaining the developmental process as children grow but i would like to expound more on the communication structure that creates relationships between people. There's a neutral tone throughout the article since it's basically defining interpersonal communication.

When trying to understand the harmony and balance of the behaviour one should be aware of the tone rather than focusing solely on what is actually said in order to understand the other party's perspective. Regardless of how intimate the relationship, people communicate their perspectives and preferences by what is said in addition to their tone of voice, facial expressions, how welcoming they are, and so forth. The language and messages in conversation can be ambiguous if taken at face value but in the English language, how something is said can more impact than the statement itself. Context dictates the structure and constituent view of the conversation and ultimately the relationship.
