Explain why people do not always agree on what exactly is taking place in a particular interaction.

What will be an ideal response?


People’s perspective of an interaction has to do with communication frames, which
are basic forms of knowledge that provide a definition of a scenario. Frames generally
help people understand their role in a conversation and what is expected of them. But
communication frames are also based in part on a person’s perspective of situations
and relationships with others. These frames of perspective will greatly influence the
coordinating of interactions and the assigning of meaning.
