One concept from the semester that I feel could use more discussing would have to be forms of nonlistening. From my understanding, nonlistening involves anything that is not "physically listening." Forms of nonlistening include pseudolistening, monopolizing conversations, selective and defensive listening, and ambushing. These forms of communication are a hazardous effect on relationships. Specifically, I would like to know more about the specific effects of these fouls in communications on relationships. One that stuck out to me is ambushing, which is listening carefully for the purpose of attacking a speaker. According to this, ambushers specifically listen for information that will be used against the speaker. This is interesting to me because I have seen it used in my everyday communication with friends. It is particularly interesting to learn more because I would like to know how to combat ambushers and what to do to let it not affect their relationships.
