Communication in an organization

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.
