A person-centered communicator is someone who has the ability to "stand in someone else's shoes." By calling on numerous schemata and their knowledge of particular others, person-centered communicators understand other people's perspectives and can communicate more effectively!

Totally random find and also super fitting for our class!

Happy Electronic Greetings Day #COMM2870! #wildcard

@ChernockJack I liked this one a lot as well. It reinforced a lot of what I already thought and packaged it in a way I understand. It's also a helpful tool to recognize my own bias and how my media diet can have an impact on that! #COMM2870

@sarahhbensonn That sounds very exciting! URT was one of my favorite theories this semester. The guests sound like me before I knew what the theory was! Nice to have a name for it! #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

My favorite theory this semester was Expectancy Violations Theory. I see how it could be valuable in many different communication situations. It's also appealing to me because it's measurable and testable. #COMM2870

My group's podcast is on Rhetoric. We have an an interview on Rhetoric and super insightful analysis on the role of Rhetoric in today's world. Hope you all enjoy!

Looking forward to a few weeks off before next semester. Looking at the hashtag this week, it appears I'm not the only one! Finish strong everyone! #wildcard #COMM2870

@FranklinLianna I swear if I could get that duolingo for kids I would have a long time ago! Luckily, now that so many of my friends have children, I've gotten a lot of experience. I totally understand where you're coming from! #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

@DrageCallie Great example! She really did a great job of making light of the situation. It does help her save face quite a bit! #COMM2870

I work with developmentally disabled adults for a living! Each person is different in terms of ability to communicate. I constantly have to adapt to their abilities. Some understand a great deal, while others need more help. It's about coming to their level! #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

How I picture face concern in more collectivist cultures. More emphasis is placed on preserving the face of the other person. They always want to lift the other person up! #COMM2870

Just watched the SpaceX NASA launch. What an amazing testament to what we can achieve when we work together! #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

@Samanth58431582 I agree wholeheartedly. Especially when it comes to having a good attitude. Whenever I start to get down about what I have to do I try to tell myself it's a privilege to do it. So many people around the world will never even get the chance to better themselves. #COMM2870

@boo_m07 I really, really like this response also! I have a few close female friends. I get to have a female perspective on things im going through and it's sooooo nice to just be myself around them. #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

I grew up lower middle class with a single parent. I think it makes me grateful for the things I have. Replacing something wasn't always an option. I think that it makes me empathetic towards people who are struggling also. Poverty is a cycle, and it's hard to get out!

This is usually how I feel when I initially talk to someone of a different gender. It really does feel like I'm talking to someone who doesn't even speak the same language as me. #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

Gonna go out and enjoy the day today! Might be the last beautiful weekend day for awhile! #wildcard #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

@Addison38524205 I have really taken to CBS for their election coverage in a way that I hadn't before. You can tell some of their guests are excited (biased), but the anchors have done a pretty good job of staying neutral. It's been extremely refreshing. #COMM2870

[Randy Times @TheRagingRandy]

@ChernockJack I agree wholeheartedly. YouTube is a great example for that also. Sometimes they recommend older, extremely popular videos I haven't seen that somehow have 10+ million views. Only reason I didn't see the video until now was because they were hidden from me. #COMM2870

@CrockettJules Looking at your times makes me realize that I need to start moderating my screen-time. I feel like I'm always on my phone and this gives me hope that I can change! #COMM2870
