Description: A Socialist View of Interpersonal Communication by Norman Markel Phd Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Whether you realize it or not, your conversation style is communicating a message of either hierarchy or solidarity. Why does this matter? Because our interpersonal communication influences the relationships that make up our society-and when a sense of commonality is lacking, we are all negatively impacted. Establishing face-to-face conversation as a type of social superstructure, A Socialist View of Interpersonal Communication pinpoints five vital characteristics that express these opposing social views: address, self-disclosure, seating, eye contact, and touch. Author and professor Norman Markel, PhD, describes how, by being conscious of these behaviors, you can choose to step away from the current conversation trends reinforcing hierarchy, and instead converse in such a way as to promote a foundation of democratic and compassionate interpersonal relationships. He emphasizes that while society does consist of different ranks and levels, everyone can choose to express solidarity...regardless of their role. A fascinating look at how Marxist thinking is still relevant in regards to everyday behavior, this book invites you to practice a new way of conversing that can improve the infrastructure of our evermore alienated society.
