Examining the Importance of Talker Assignment from a Reflective Perspective

According to Schultze and Badzinski (2015), interpersonal interactions are characterized

by reciprocal responsibilities. These responsibilities refer to the obligations that we have for one

another when we make an effort to be genuine to one another. With the purpose of counteracting

facts and information that are false or misleading, there is a lack of morally pure motives

involved. Communication that is honest and fair is the basis for communication that is both

successful and ethical. This is because the existence of facts and information that are dependable

and accurate is of critical significance to the well-being of humans. The strongest basis for

honest communication is the vigorous interaction that takes place between individuals who

reflect on their own points of view while also taking into consideration the points of view of

others. The success of this conversation is contingent on the individual's responsibility and

obligation to communicate in a way that is both open and helpful. Whenever there is a lack of

this particular communication between individuals, it results in misconceptions about talks.

The authors Schultze and Badzinski (2015) contend that our erroneous assumption of the

lack of the Holy Spirit may be the cause of our inability to communicate in a true manner. The

adoption of a communication style that is both open and straightforward enhances the possibility

that the individuals who receive our message will reply in a manner that is comparable to our

own. When it comes to human connections and social networks, trust is very necessary. The

cultivation of good relationships in both our personal and professional lives is facilitated by

communication that is both open and honest. In addition to this, it encourages individuals to

believe that they are valuable and drives them to return the sensations that they have received.

According to Schultze and Badzinski (2015), lying between partners is regarded to be one of the

most damaging expressions of infidelity in the context of interpersonal relationships.


The Talker-Listener Card (TLC) developed by Peterson (2015) is an efficient form of

communication that may be used in situations in which either one or both participants have

difficulty successfully articulating their emotions. The purpose of the TLC is to identify the first

speaker, namely the one who is the most annoying, in order to guarantee that the succeeding

speaker would pay more attention to the discourse when it is their turn to speak. In my opinion,

the TLC function is an exact match for the activities that take place during therapeutic sessions.

Individuals who participate in therapy are able to freely discuss their feelings, with the

confidence that their words are being recognized and understood by the therapist. This

experiment teaches individuals that they should not only make speaking a priority, but they

should also make listening a priority via active participation. The ability to listen not only

enables us to comprehend and make sense of the words said by other people, but it also enables

us to recognize our own thoughts at that time. Establishing a solid foundation for

communication, it makes it easier for both parties to comprehend and analyze the messages that

are being exchanged.

Rather of relying on objective qualities, Carbonell (2008) created a personality profile

that analyzes a person's personality based on a set of activities. Individuals are able to have a

better understanding of their own personality patterns by using this profile. The examination is

broken up into many categories that are represented by DISC units. Following the conclusion of

the test, my results revealed that I am a skilled influencing expert (C/I/S) as well as a consistent

influencer (S/I). Based on the findings of the study, it was determined that I had great

interpersonal skills and that I regularly put the welfare of others ahead of my own. In addition, it

provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate my capacity for critical thinking as well as

active listening. According to the second verse of the book of Proverbs, "By making your ear
attentive to wisdom, and by inclining your heart to understanding." This makes it clear that, as a

Christian woman, I act benevolently not just toward the people I care about but also toward

others I do not know on a personal level.

All of the Scriptures, according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, are divinely inspired and may be

used for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. This is done with the

intention of ensuring that the man of God is appropriately prepared and completely equipped for

every good job. Having two different kinds of Christian parents while you are growing up is a

fascinating experience. Despite the fact that they have certain similarities, their theological views

are quite different from one another. In spite of this, both of them taught me about the Bible and

instilled in me the need of treating everyone with compassion. I would certainly want everyone

to treat me with love, even if some of them caused me harm. I was given the instruction to pray

for those who were lacking in knowledge and, if they were receptive, to share the teachings of

the Bible with them as a way of helping them out and showing my support.

Through the use of the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness," Schultz and Badzinski presented a

convincing picture of encouragement in their research that was published in 2015. In the film, a

father who was experiencing homelessness and financial troubles was determined to get

commercial support for a medical technology that he had invented. He found himself in a tough

situation. In spite of the fact that his machine was turned down on several occasions, he persisted

and never failed to provide his child words of encouragement to see them through, even while

they were crying. Even at the darkest times of our lives, there is light at the end of the road. This

is true even to the most intense moments of darkness. Until I discovered a certain professor who

frequently handed me grades of D's and F's on practically every assignment, I was able to keep

my grade point average at 3.8 for the whole of my pursuit of a bachelor's degree. Despite the fact
that I made several attempts to get in touch with both my advisor and my lecturer, the professor

shown a high degree of being unresponsive. This made me feel really discouraged. At that

moment, I was on the edge of dropping out of the class, which would have had a devastating

impact on my grade point average. On the other hand, my family, friends, and advisor would not

allow such a thing to happen. An individual will be able to effectively handle this circumstance if

they exhibit patience, as I was instructed by a number of different sources. In spite of the fact

that I had difficulty cultivating patience, I constantly turned to my chosen passage of scripture,

which is found in Psalm 9:9 and declares, "Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the

oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress." There was a fortunate turn of events in which

higher-ranking authorities intervened and started an investigation into the professor and my

responsibilities. Upon the completion of the investigation, I was overcome with feelings of

pleasure as I realized that all of the D's and F's had been converted into all A's via the process of

translation. In order to be successful, I needed to have faith in myself and trust in the knowledge

that prayer would ultimately result in a manifestation of grandeur.

Despite the fact that we begin to acquire language skills as early as infancy, the relevance of our

speaking talents and the development of those abilities are equally important to the learning of

listening skills. The connections we have inside ourselves and with other people are

strengthened, and it also assists us in shaping partnerships and instilling confidence in ourselves.

The opportunities for us to improve our interpersonal skills and the way we react to situations are

always available to us. There is always room for development, regardless of how we perceive

ourselves to be about ourselves. The manner in which we speak is just as significant as the

terminology that we use. The manner in which we communicate sheds light on our genuine

character and the areas in which we want improvement. Keeping in mind that we are the
embodiment of God and that by doing so, we are participating in the practice of His Words with

unshakeable faith and devotion is a crucial thing to keep in mind.
