The Populists would be consider against the idea of individualism in the meaning of owning and control of wealth.

The Populist attempted to work for and help out the average citizen. They formed in the early1890s and attempted through reforms to help out the common people, instead of what is referred to as the elite, or the people who have a considerable amount of private wealth and ownership or investment in businesses and/or land.

They believed, in some ways, in very radical ideals. They wanted to abolish national banks, all the government to control major public service like transportation and communication. They wanted to high levels of taxation for the wealthier segments of the population.

Their thoughts and policies were all in attempts to help the average person living and working in America. Some of these policies are clearly aligned with those of communism or socialism. And as such, the Populist movement was considered on the extreme end of the spectrum, as part of a group with these ideologies.

Describe two or three ways in which you can minimize the negative effects of the following principle of interpersonal communicat

NeTakaya

One of the principles of interpersonal communication is the fact that interpersonal communication as inescapable. This means that people cannot avoid communicating. What people say and what they do not say is communication. Body language, tone of voice, facial expression, posture, and other elements help convey meaning to what a person is saying. The phrase people judge you by your behavior, not your intent, refers to the fact that what one person says is interpreted in reference to the different cues that surround the text being spoken. Making sure that a person's gestures accompany their words, is one way to ensure the message is clear. Taking into account that people's behaviour defines the meaning of what they say also means that the image that the speaker reflects corresponds to what they say.
