Communication climate
Parent-child relationships
Just as understanding the self is crucial to becoming a successful communicator, so is developing an understanding of relationships. Using a media artifact, your job will be to serve as a relationship counselor for a troubled pair of characters of your choosing from a TV show or film. Your clients would like to know how to communicate better and improve their relationship. In doing this, you will first describe the overall communication climate of the relationship and detail any specific sources of conflict. After you have thoroughly investigated the situation, you may then attempt to help your clients. Think of this assignment as solving a problem. You must first fully understand the problem, and then you can attempt to solve it.
