Why don't they teach adolescents assertive communications in schools?
It is such an important quality to have for any carreer, or life situation that deals with people when it all comes down. I am amazed how much easier it is making my life, as I am forced to learn it for my nursing degree. I wish they would have taught this in school, and I want to do something about it. What do you think?
I also agree. As a professional you need to be assertive, and in a third world country such as where I live, I wish people would also stop being mediocre and take control of the situations. Sometimes, I believe it isn't taught to people as a way to truncate their lives and assure that the people already at the top, stay at the top. That way they can inject fear into their heads easier. I believe Americans especially are easily manipulated by what they see in the media, and sometimes fear expression of their own.
