24 Jun COMMUNICATING SUPPORTIVELY SITUATION.
Communicating Supportively Situation. Jill entered the University as a pre-med major a year ago. Because her father and grandfather had both been doctors, it was presumed that Jill would “follow in their footsteps.” While in her introductory pre-med courses, Jill was bored and uninterested. During lectures, she read current political commentaries instead of taking lecture notes. During the evenings, she became quite active in student political organizations. As a result, Jill avoided completing her pre-med assignments. Today, Jill is on the verge of being expelled for not meeting the university’s pre-med academic requirements. Jill’s realization that her poor performance is a result of her dislike of the study of medicine has forced her to explain to her parents that she wants to study political science. Mom: “Jill, we haven’t seen your report card from last semester.” Jill: “As long as you brought that up, I’ve been waiting to talk to you about that.” Dad: “About what?” (Jill shows her report card to Mom and Dad.) Mom: “I can’t believe you did this to us!” Jill: “To you? If you hadn’t put so much pressure on me to become a doctor, this never would have happened.” Dad: “We never pressured you. You never said you wanted to study anything else.” Jill: “I want to study political science.” Mom: “Political science? You will never make any money doing that. We only want you to make a good living. We only want the best for you.” Jill: “If you only want the best for me, why don’t you try to understand me?” Dad: “We do understand what’s best for you. That’s why we want you to be a doctor.” Mom: “Why didn’t you talk to us before? This is the first time we’ve heard of this.” Jill: “Every time I tried to tell you I was afraid of your reaction. Now I see that I was right.” Dad: “Well, fine, you seem to know all about life. You don’t appreciate that your parents are willing to give up certain luxuries to finance your education.” Mom: “We’ve made so many sacrifices and all we ask is that you give us respect in return.” Jill: “I do respect you. But I have to lead my life, not yours!” Discussion Questions * What are the obstacles to supportive communication in this situation? * How could these characters have used supportive communication to achieve a better understanding?
