Verbal aggressiveness occurs quite often and more than people may not realize how common it it. It can happen from a peer, intimate partner, family member, or basically from anyone.
This leads to the question how would you expect to respond to verbal aggression. Ideally, I would try to reaffirm the other person's sense of competence and compliment the other person as appropriate. This would help dissapate the tension that already could be present in the situation.I would also try to allow the other person to state his or her position fully before I respond and avoid interrupting.
This is not what always happens. Generally, I try to avoid situations that would instigate verbal aggression in the first place. If I did get into a situation like that, I would probably just back off and get super self-conscious(I am the type of person that HATES getting yelled at or lectured in anyway; it makes me feel really bad).
I feel as though formal communication is more efficient in organizations that require an extensive amount of communicating due to the fact that is is sanctioned by the organization itself and are organizationally focused. It follows a very organized set of rules and order of doing things and I feel as though this is the most effective way of communication.
The fact that formal communication is a sanctioned by the organization itself promotes a sense of order and decreases the amount of confusion that is felt in the system. Formal communication is easier because there is a set of rules and people who are in charge of a specific jobs, which adds even more organization to it.
The fact that formal communication has specific rules and regulations set by the leaders of an organization, it will help prevent confusion that could happen if information was passed through the grapevine. I think that formal communication is way more efficient, especially for a professional work setting.
Now to switch to a more serious topic: Sexual harassment in the work place.
If I was sexually harassed by my boss once, I would probably keep it to myself but if it persists then I would talk to human resources and try to get it fixed. I would also try to find a friend at work because you need some sort of support system that you can rely on. This is not a easy subject to talk to, and it can be very debilitating to the victim.

10 of my Favorite Things!
It is hard to only think of 10 of your favorite things. I have a list that could go on and on and on and on...but I thought I would give it a try:
1. I love to read. Pretty much up for any genre of book, except non-fiction boring books about politics .
One of my favorite books that I have read recently.
2. Nail polish. I have a weird obsession with painting my nails, and I always change the color. My favorite color of nail polish if "Blue Freeze" by Maybelleine ColorStay.
3. Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite stores. Some of my favorite scents include: Warm Vanilla sugar, Secret wonderland, Sweet Pea, and Be Enchanted.

4. Ed Sheeran! British+beautiful voice=Perfection. If you haven't heard of Ed Sheeran, you must be living under a rock.
Here is one of his more famous songs, but I would recommend that you check out all of his songs.
5. I absolutely LOVE puppies and dogs. They are so adorable and cuddly. My favorite kinds of dogs are labrador retrievers and Siberian Husky.
6. Any kind of chocolate, except for the ones with nuts in them. Chocolate is perfectly delicious without them. My favorite kind is probably Ghiradelli: Milk and Caramel Squares. Buy me a bag of these and I will love you forever.
7. My favorite school subject is CHEMISTRY. I find the concept of chemistry very interesting and I like how it makes you think critically and uses all of your mental capacity in memorizing different chemical formulas, equations, numbers and whatnot. I hope to one day have a career in either chemistry or biology. Here is a little chemistry joke that will(maybe...) brighten your day:
8. My phone, obviously. I probably could not live without it. It does everything for me, and makes my life about x89721947923874975 better and easier.
9. The color blue. Even more than half my wardrobe consists of the color blue. All my family and friends know that I love the color blue and make fun of me sometimes. I hope you have a very BLUE day! Just kidding, it was a joke, I hope you have a good day.
10. And most importantly, my favorite things are my family and friends. I know that this is a bit cliche, but it 100% true. I could not live without them. They have shaped me into who I am today. They have always been there to cheer me up and give advice, and they always believe in me. Cheesy, I know, but it's true.
