Week 2, Post 1

I believe that humans have an instinct for conflict. Conflict seems to be very natural for humans and many people do not shy away from it. People have the ability to sense when a conflict is about to happen or has already happened. I believe that conflict is an instinctual trait because when you see people talking to one another, you can sort of tell how the conversation is going. You can read their body language, tone of voice, eye contact, etc. I also think that conflict is an inborn trait because if you see someone from your family arguing or fighting with one another, you are most likely not going to be in a good mood because you can tell that something is not right. I do not believe that this inborn trait makes anybody more or less human. I just think it is the norm for most people and as you grow up you become more and more instinctual. Being instinctual is a valuable asset to have because you can sense when you are in a good or a bad situation, and if you are in a bad situation you can try to remove yourself from it.

Hello everyone,

I am a senior here at SJSU. I grew up in San Mateo, California which is about thirty minutes north of San Jose. I live off campus but very close to school and I like it a lot more than when I lived on campus as a freshman. I am looking forward to this class and I am very excited to read everything you all have to say. I have always been interested in communications and all types of communication which is why I chose to major in Communication Studies. I do not have a fear with public speaking or having any kinds of communication with different types of people. My goal for this class is to understand communications better and earn a good grade in the course. I am also on the baseball team here at school and I have a lot of fun playing. Although it is very difficult to balance school, baseball, and my social life I think I do an alright job. Anyways, that is pretty much it about me. I look forward to hearing from you all throughout this semester.
