The way we communicate will provide a definition of the relationship between us. Children said that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words never hurt me," but it is not accurate. The language we chose and how we speak to others may hurt others and our relationships with them. Culture has different priorities at these two levels, as we will show later. The third axiom of Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967) states that "the nature of the relationship depends on the punctuation of the communication order among the communicators" (p. 59, emphasizing deletion).
