Fractionation, framing, reframing, and common ground are
very solid techniques that are helpful during interpersonal conflict. When thinking about this question, I applied
these techniques to how I look at schoolwork.
When writing an essay, it is sometimes hard to divide all of the
information that you have encountered.
With fractionation, I can break
down the more complex issues into smaller ones that will make the paper flow
better. Framing can also be helpful as
it helps avoid the passing of judgment or blame. I can ask myself questions that help
summarize issues and that help me remain unbiased on a particular issue. Reframing is also important when writing an
opinionated piece, as this is where the biased statements can be restated in a
more "neutral terminology".
Using common ground in an essay format helps the author connect with the
audience. All of these techniques are
extremely important when dealing with interpersonal communication but you can
also see their importance when you use them in different aspects of everyday
life.
Hi SCbaseball, great job with your response to this week’s discussion question. I really like how you applied it to how you look at schoolwork. I hadn’t thought to apply it to that angle so it was interesting to learn about how you did. I agree that when writing an essay, it can be hard to divide the information you are trying to write. By using fractionation, I can try to take the information I have, and break it down to smaller groups. That way, I don’t feel overwhelmed by the whole thing, rather I have little pieces instead. I think you did a great job answering this question!
