3) Identify the four primary Barriers to Accurate Perception of Self and Others and provide a brief explanation for each barrier to describe how each could affect our communication. See page 12 of the online lecture.

4) When you react to others in a negative or volatile way showing anger, you aren’t using good communication skills or taking the time to make sure you are correctly interpreting what another person is attempting to communicate; your perception (or interpretation) of the message could be wrong.
