Paragraph 1 Listening
Sample Discussion Board 2
Listening is the process where the brain creates meaning from information that was heard. Hearing is the process of sound waves striking the eardrum which causes vibrations that are transmitted to the brain. Hearing is the physiological process while listening is about creating meaning from what was heard. Two of my faulty listening behaviors are pseudo-listening and defensive listening. Sometimes I pretend to listen when I am busy, this is a very rude practice that I am working to improve. I also sometimes listen selectively; this practice can sometimes cause me to miss the context of what is being said and I have on more than one occasion hurt my sister’s feelings or cause a misunderstanding because of my misinterpretation. I am getting better at active listening, but it takes practice. Since improving my active listening skills, I have enjoyed a closer relationship with my sister and co-workers.
