I agree. When you answer some body, you must listen to him well first. All our relation and action depend on effective communication.

I agree. In conversations and discussions most of the people indulge in Bulldozing leading to misunderstandings and chaos, which is undesirable.  A conversation sans Listening the others views are  nothing but Battles in words.

I agree with that, totally dominating conversation or discussion , barging in at every level  even when they have very little to contribute, is a disgusting trait some have. 

We have seen how Dogmatism, sticking to their own point of view in the discussions lead to fights ultimately leading to personal attacks. Such discussions should be avoided. They are mere street Fights.

I believe interpersonal communication is an art. Those who have mastered this art are very good at listening as well as a very good respondent. This skill is compulsory to have a fruitful discussion or else every effort goes in vain. 

One who is good at interpersonal communication, enables to work more effectively and  smoothly Such person will give  lot of  importance to the others point of view. This skill is essential to pave way  to a healthy atmosphere.. Other wise a discussion becomes a battle ground.

Communication is the key to any successful relationship and career. Within a family, more so because you are constantly spending time with one another and there is always the possibility of mis understanding and misinterpretation !

Very rightly said! This skill is very much required and it becomes quite handy while handling the teens as well as very young adults. The problem between the young ones and the parents arises when no side is ready to listen each other. Neither dictatorship of the parents nor the foolish adamant attitude of the young ones solve any issue. It has to be a healthy communication with proper hearing of each other and every issue gets solved.

We face problems even within a nuclear family structure, so one can imagine the kind of stress that might be there in extended families where the in laws live with their sons family or a joint family...

Oh yes, It's a regular feature. The aged in-laws hardly prefer to listen rather directly or indirectly they try to impose their wish. They never want to accept the fact that the family cannot run like the way they did and it builds up stress in the family. Patient hearing is very important but it is usually missing in our families.
