Week 3 Reading Reflection

Both chapter 7 and 8 about communication were very nice to read about. Even though I did feel like a lot of think are common sense, it is still very surprising to see how many steps there actually are for each thing and how you should start of with one thing first before you go on to the next one. For example the three step routine/positive messages. Like they say important things in the first step such as analyze the situation, get to know your audience and organize your information. Then the second step: Adapting to different situations. Then step 3: Revise, produce, proofread and distribute it. So this all shows how important it is to do everything step by step in order to complete it 'perfectly'.
Also all the ways to communicate in a business way is great to read about. I feel like technology has been such a blessing when it comes to business communication and it offers great things. Here also for example I had no idea about like the podcasts that that was a way of communicating so I've been informed with a new way myself too. Obviously communication is the most important thing and we might underestimate that sometimes but I think if we get well informed each day about ways to communicate especially when it comes to a business then you can improve and make your business bigger than never before!

With 'Everything Rhetoric' fortunately this part was much easier for me to read about. I just loved the part where the character had a motto which said: "Writing means ALWAYS changing''. This is so great and it is very true that when you write you constantly have to meet the needs of different audiences. You can't write the same way to your boss as you write to your crazy best friend. But then again I feel like it is very hard sometimes to know how you should write, like a person might come off as a person that you could write more informal to but what if they would totally not appreciate that and you got it wrong. So how it may seem so obvious for some audiences, I feel like it is also very hard for other audiences. It takes time to figure all of that out but I'm confident that after much more experience it all gets a lot easier.
