Three Levels of Three Levels of CommunicationCommunication
Martin Buber
• I-ItI-It– Treat others impersonally, almost like objects– clerical staff, servers in restaurant, student in class
• I-YouI-You– Treat others as more than objects, but not as unique– Interaction guided by our roles as peers, students, relatives
• I-ThouI-Thou– Affirms the other as unique, meet others in their wholeness, individuality– Rather than “seeming” interact as “being” (how we really are and feel)
