#26

1) When you completed your Johari window on-line, did you include the same 5-6 qualities that you had written on your paper?
--Yes, I did include the same qualities. I did thise because I was confident that they all explained me perfectly, and I based what I wrote off of the Johari Window site. I used those words to reflect on the type of person that I am.

2) Would you feel comfortable if I projected your Johari window on the screen?
--Yes, I would feel comfortable because I know that everyone has an idea of who I am and what I represent and knows that the qualities that I picked for myself and others picked for me are correct. I know that they will understand why I chose what I chose, and why my peers chose what they chose to describe me.

3) We have seen four communication encounters so far: "You" messages, "I" messages, "Find Someone Who...", and the interactive Johari window. Compare and contrast these four communication encounters:a) Which encounter is the easiest to take part in? Why?b) Which encounter is the most difficult to take part in? Why?c) Which encounter takes the most amount of risk? Why?d) Include additional similarities or differences between the four encounters.
--a.) The easiest one to take part in is the "Find Someone Who..." because it is the most fun. It's very easy to go around and ask you classmates easy questions that can't upset or anger anyone. It has the least risk of annoying anyone or making them feel uncomfortable, so it's the easiest.
b.) The most difficult would be the "I" messages because you have to admit that you were wrong about something. Also, it takes a lot of courage and preparation to apologize to someone, and many people can't do it because it is so nerve-wrecking.
c.) The communication that takes the most amount of risk would be the "You" messages because you are calling out the other person with their faults. You are taking their bad habits or traits and telling them that they haven't impacted your life in a positive way. It is risky because "You" messages could possibly end a relationship that you never truly wanted to end.
d.) The similarities of the four encounters are that they all involve communicating with other people, they all involve having enough courage to encounter someone else, and they all involve ways of expressing yourself emotionally or mentally. Some of the differences include how you communicate with someone (over the computer or in person), the type of courage that it takes to talk to the other person or people (courage to tell someone off or thank/apologize), and how you express yourself (in a physical, nice, calm, angry, etc. way).
