3). Pick one concept from
the assigned reading this week, not
already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
I found the concept of
noise to be useful and important to know. Noise is an inhibitor to the message
being received. There are two types of noise: external and internal. These two
types create distractions that make it difficult for people to hear the
message. External noise is something that makes it difficult for the person to
hear the message based on happenings around their environment. For instance,
when listening to someone speaks, you can be distracted by phone calls.
Internal noise deals with personal issues, or emotions that can be distracting
you internally. A listener can be distracted when they are preoccupied thinking
about a personal issue. If a listener does not make a conscious effort to
remain actively listening they will succumb to the noise inhibitor, making it
difficult to effectively listen. When I am in a meeting with someone, I can be
distracted by movements around me, or when someone coughs or sniffles. If I do
not focus on actively listening I will soon find myself thinking about the
things that are distracting me, thusly an external noise turns into an internal
noise distracter.
