effective communication

Due Date: 11:59 pm EST, Sunday of Unit 1 Points: 100 Overview: As adults in this country, we work side by side with people from all walks of life and backgrounds. When we are in the criminal justice system profession, we encounter eighteen-year-old men and women up to Vietnam veterans. This profoundly impacts how our interactions are with one another and the verbal and non-verbal components that make up our communication skills. With the different life experiences, we each possess, communication can be cumbersome with one another or exceptionally free- flowing and robust. Instructions: Imagine being a Law Enforcement Officer or a Correctional Officer as a millennial, and you are working with a baby boomer.

1. Discuss the differences and similarities between baby boomers and millennials. What differences would you foresee between the two of you while working together? What similarities would there be?

2. Analyze working as a Police Officer or Correctional Officer with a baby boomer. Discuss what communication barriers could exist between them. If there were to be a communication barrier between the two of you, how would you overcome it?

3. What should leaders in those respective professions do to ensure that issues between different generations of Officers remain relatively low and not an "us versus them" mentality?

Support your thoughts with articles, journals, and other supportive material from your readings this week.

Requirements:

• Submit a Word document in APA format. • Maximum three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference pages. • At least two resources.
