Listening Barriers...
Often in communication when you are trying to lsten to someone there are many barriers preventing you from doing so. The four main barriers are distractions, biases/prejudices, lack of appropriate focus, and premature judgement. To be a good istener you have to avoid these barriers the best you can. For example, in the movie Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth is prejudice against Mr. Darcy because she thinks he is proud and vain because of his wealth. When Elizabeth overcomes this prejudice she realizes that she loves him.

Yay Pride and Prejudice! Have you read the book? You get to know the characters on a far more intimate level :).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where the connection lies in your post between listening and the characters of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. This may be a better topic for perception.
A few MUGS errors in this posting, too. 10/12 earned
I'm picturing his rapid "ILOVEYOU" confession in the rain here(from the newer version of the movie)... I definitely see how her prejudice would keep her from listening. The whole time she's staring at him with this "I cannot believe you!" look.
