Week3 ~ Pragmatic Perspective

At first when I read the perspective it seemed like it might not be so related to our life, and our communication, but when I started thinking after reading I was surprised that the patterned interaction is something that I use all the time. With people that we see rarely this might not be the case, but what about the everyday people that we spend time with? Yes for me, I totally see how I use the pragmatic perspective when I talk and communicate with my husband for instance. It really becomes a game in certain situations, for instance in an argument. I think about the arguments, and we are similar to the pragmatic model of communication, we take turns in the things we say. And when an argument is happening, we sort of already know the steps to take to fix it all. This also occurs a lot with my son, the conversations repeat over and over, and basically there is a same talk we do if he does something I object or don't allow him to do. When I think about it, this can relate to all my close ones, and this perspective is very often used.
