  • Include 4-6 content pages (double space)

Thesis statement: Critical thinking and listening are vital aspects of effective communication.
Introduction

teacher.
No doubt, failure to listening (active listening) carries a significant contribution to the
communication-related conflict.
However, conflict management skills can be integrated into communication to reduce the
occurrence of conflicts.
Relational Dynamics
Relational dynamics include appearances, reciprocal appearances, competence, similarity,
disclosure, proximity among many others
Our relationship is currently in the intensifying stage. This is because we are comfortable sharing
information, and we are strongly committed to our relationship.
The current intensifying stage in our relationship contributes to communication-related conflicts.

Conclusion
The identified communication-related issue is poor listening. Poor listening is detrimental to any
relationship
Conflict management strategies are crucial to solving communication-related issues in a
relationship
