ASSIGNMENT FOR MODULE 7 Emotions are something huh? Let us see how you deal with them for your assignment shall we? Pick only one option to do. Either option or two. Read the instructions for the option you choose and please complete. As usual, send it to me at [email protected] no later than Sunday Thanks. Option 1. Communicating Your Emotions Communicating emotions is one of the most difficult of all communication tasks. Here are some situations to practice on. Visualize yourself in each of the following situations and respond as you think an effective communicator would respond. Just choose three to do, not all five. 1. A colleague at work has revealed some of the things you did while you were in college—many of which you would rather not have others on the job know about. You told your colleague these things in confidence and now just about everyone on the job knows. You’re angry and decide to confront your colleague. 2. A close friend comes to your apartment in deep depression, and tells you that her or his spouse of 22 years has fallen in love with another person and wants a divorce. Your friend is at a total loss as to what to do and comes to you for comfort and guidance. 3. A neighbor who has lived next door to you for the last ten years and who has had many difficult financial times has just won the lottery worth several million dollars. You meet in the hallway of your apartment house. 4. Your grandmother is dying and calls you to spend some time with her. She says she knows she is dying and wants you to know how much she has always loved you and that her only regret in dying is not being able to see you anymore. 5. Your friend posts on Facebook about the loss of her or his job due to downsizing. You know your friend really needs the money and must be feeling devastated, and you would like to offer emotional support. Option 2. Expressing Negative Feelings Here are three situations that would normally engender negative feelings. For each, indicate how you would express your negative feelings and also preserve and even improve the relationship you have with this other person. Just choose two do, not all three. 1. You have called your friend, Jane, the last four times but she never seems to call you. You feel hurt and annoyed that Jane doesn’t take the initiative to call you. You decide you have to tell her how you feel. 2. You and Viktor have made an appointment to go to breakfast at 9 o’clock, but Viktor shows up at 10:30 with only a general and seemingly flimsy excuse. You have been waiting since 9:00 and are angry that he doesn’t seem to care about the time you wasted. Since you don’t want this to happen again, you decide to tell him how you feel. 3. You’ve been dating Chris for about six weeks. Everything seemed to be going fine until your birthday when Chris simply posted on your Facebook wall. You expected something more. After all, you have been dating each other exclusively for six weeks. You feel that this shows that Chris does not really place much importance on the relationship and you want to get this feeling out into the open.
