Week 2: News and Communication

When searching through news articles, I used key words like "help" and "communicate" to find this article: https://www.smartbrief.com/original/2019/08/tools-and-techniques-effective-communication-platinum-rule . In this article, Diana Peterson-Moore writes about how we as humans naturally treat others by the standards of the golden rule. We treat and communicate with others the same way we expect or want to be treated in return.

However, Peterson-Moore says that another form of communication could be entirely more helpful. She argues we instate the 'platinum rule' which is to treat others how you think they wanted to be treated.

If we want to be well-versed and capable communicators, it would benefit us to try and gauge the most successful way to communicate with others. When working with peers or coworkers its important to communicate in a way that works for them. Make sure you are being understanding and flexible.
