Question:
In the class, they hold opposing views on an emotionally charged political or social issue, for example, private medical clinics, mandatory retirement, legalization of marijuana, or patients' right to die. Have them present their views to the class, and then have everyone write a brief discussion assessment. Compare your review with that of others in the class. Are there differences? Does the listener's own bias account for some of the differences? To what extent does this exercise reveal barriers to communication? Then, select two more opponents to discuss a different issue. Listeners should merely summarize the side of the argument they least agree with. Compare summaries. Are the differences fewer or greater than in the first part of the exercise? Why? To what extent does the tendency to evaluate interfere with the listening process? In what business situations might this tendency hinder effective communication? What are the possible remedies?
