confirming communication

In chapter 10, improving communication climates, the text discusses the importance of knowing the climates in relational communication. The term used in the book communication climate, refers to the type of tone used when communicating. In the text they discuss to different types of confirming messages. There are three messages that help confirm messages. The first way of confirming messages is recognition. This is known to be the easiest and most fundamental way to confirm messages. The lack of recognition is things like not returning a friends message or avoiding them for your own personal reasons. Another way of confirming messages is acknowledgment. This is a way to acknowledge ideas and feelings of others around you or in your life. The most common way of acknowledgement is listening. I feel this is very important because you are taking time out of your life to acknowledge a person you care for. This shows you are interested in someone else’s opinions and ideas. Endorsement means to confirm someone else’s ideas and agree with them so there is improvement in their relationship. This is a way to value and show agreement. Overall these three ways of confirming are very important to show your interest in your relationships.
