Explain why it is important to study communication, even though you have been communicating your entire life.

What will be an ideal response?

The drawback to previous experience is that people may not see the value in studying something that is such a common part of life. However, if communication were so easy, people would not have misunderstandings, conflicts, disputes, and disagreements. If people would study communication, they might not get embarrassed because they said something thoughtless or because they sent texts and e-mail messages that were misunderstood.
