Need help with my writing homework on Becoming an Evolved Listener. Write a 4750 word paper answering; Of the various theories impacting people-centered professions, communications theories are of primary importance, and listening is possibly the most important because it establishes a connection between the client and the professional, it validates the ideas of the client and establishes a bond of trust, or at least of rapport, between the two.

Before we can explore listening as a concept we must define both the words: listening and concept. According to Wittgenstein, it is not enough to know what a word represents as an object or action, but one must know something about its context, normal usage, part of speech, the history of its use and its connections to other words. So let us look at these two words, “listening” and “concept”, most thoroughly first.

What is listening? Listening is giving active attention to the spoken communication of another in an attempt to completely understand the other person's ideas and feelings concerning the subject. It is separate from, but dependent upon, hearing. Hearing is merely the physical processing of sound. You may hear a door close, but pay it no attention, so you do not listen. You may hear a person talking, but if you pay no attention, you are not listening. Active listening is, by definition, listening, attempting to make meaning and acknowledging the speaker with some form of feedback while you process what you hear. To be an active listener requires that you pay attention, let the speaker know that you are paying attention and confirm that you understand what they say. Listening is half of the exchange in oral communication. Because it is part of communication, it is required to meet the standards of oral communication. Hearing without understanding is not listening. Therefore it is incumbent upon the listener to know several things about what he or she hears. These include the object, action or concept usually attached by most people to the words.
