Essays on Nonverbal

Self-awareness and Empathy. Awareness of another person is accompanied by an emotional assessment of the person, an attempt to understand things, predict changes in behavior and model their own behavior. Since this process involves at least two people, and each is an active subject, each should consider not only another person's needs and motives but also the way that person understands the needs and motives of the partner in the construction of strategies of interaction. Thus, self-awareness and empathy are the key conditions for teamwork and interpersonal communication. In this case, one needs to understand the very essence emotional ...

Question 1

Types of Nonverbal Communication There are different ways through which individuals can communicate nonverbally. Gestures, physical distance/personal space, facial expressions, and posture are examples of non-verbal communication techniques (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Gestures can be touching behaviors, agreed-on signs, or signs that accompany verbal communication (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Also known as proxemics, maintaining personal space and physical distance when communicating plays a critical role in passing a message. Proxemics also determines the settings and environment under which people communicate, for example, public, social, personal, or intimate spaces (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Facial expressions can be used to communicate happiness, sadness, disappointment, ...

Research Paper Outline: Hashtags’ Negative Effect on the English Language Online

Introduction A hashtag is an official word found in the OED which promotes ideas that are propagated in professional and academic institutions. Hashtags are mainly used in social media forums. One of the repercussions of the increased use of hashtags on the internet has been a deterioration in the quality of the English language (Biddle, 2011). As young people continually opt to use shortened tags instead of learning the proper spelling of words which are necessary for constructing grammatical discourses. Hashtags were pioneered several years ago by a Google employee. Linguists referred to hashtags as paralanguage which fall in ...

Healthcare has been experiencing tremendous transformations in the recent past, and this can be attributed to the changing health needs of the people. To adapt to these changes, the models of care delivery, care services, and even the personnel, have changed as well. Also, there is an increasing need to provide patient-centered and culturally sensitive care, as cultural diversity continues to pose a challenge to the delivery of holistic care. One approach of delivering care services is by focusing on a family, identifying the specific health needs of such families, and developing plans of treatment that are focused on ...

Can't Read Nonverbal Cues”

This paper of Mark Bauerlein, known for another article “The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future”, underlines the problem of losing millenniums the ability of nonverbal communication. As a result of constant being in the air of social networks, the generation of 21-st century or Generation-Y missed the opportunity to interact with each other in real life without smiles and textual messages. The article discusses the difficulties in communication of the modern world because of unconscious or conscious ignoring emotions of an interlocutor. The people of the age of technologies are not ...

Communication between people takes place every time and everywhere. Language is extremely powerful tool which helps people to understand each other's needs, wishes, expectations, convey meaningful messages and just reach a desired consensus. However, it often occurs that the way people speak, how they behave during a conversation, is much more important than what they actually say. The function of our facial expressions is “to convey delicate shades of emotion and intention” (Burling, 2015), as it is much easier than to do with a language. Likewise, observing people speaking or reacting to the co-speaker, not even hearing the words, ...

English curriculum

Maria needs an integrated English Curriculum that will enable her to improve her reading and writing skills, and subsequently, improve her class performance. English language learners are usually non-native speaker meaning that English is not their first choice. Therefore, they are likely to experience problems in their schoolwork as they have not yet mastered English, which is the medium of communication and instruction in school. They need help with the language so that they can understand the concepts taught and that way; they will achieve the objectives set for their class work. Sometimes, these students may understand the concepts ...

The interaction between people requires multiple forms of non-verbal communication that is the exchange of information through facial expressions, gestures and body movements. Non-verbal communication is sometimes also called "body language", but the term is not entirely correct since people tend to use such non-verbal signs only to refute or to confirm what was said. All cultures have different attitudes towards personal space. Their facial gestures and body positions show that they don’t like it. Rules about personal space are unwritten and never taught but they are obligatory for all members of a certain culture. For example, most ...

Leadership and communication are inseparable concepts because of their importance – a leader has to have highly developed communication skills in order to establish good relations with the staff.

This way, it is important to learn how to use the principles of effective leadership in order to satisfy the audience. Leadership skills include the ability to create reasonable conditions for subordinates and the management of their actions along with the inspiration ...

Introduction

The current complex global business and social settings require various skills that ease the process of interactions. Negotiation is one of the areas where every individual (s) must focus especially because of the reality that disagreements will always emerge at varying levels of interactions. However, negotiations do not always apply when there are conflicts that may cause adverse consequences (Cohen, 2013). The reality is that negotiations apply even when a buyer and a seller decide on the best price for an item. The fact that men and women acts in varying capacities as either sales executives means that they ...

The video was about the discussion of how a simple change in body language can lead a person to a big change. In other words, a small tweak can change provide a big change to someone’s life (Cuddy, 2012). At first, Cuddy talked about how simple body language can create perception towards a person. Few examples were given, such as the difference of a person who handshakes versus a person who doesn’t. Thus, the behavior of person can be influenced by how he or she acts such as demonstrating the acts of a powerful person. Body language ...

Intercultural communication is crucial for global business. Ideally, the proliferation og globalization had led to the emergence of diverse ethnic and cultural workforces. Verbal and nonverbal communication plays an integral role because language influences perception and communication styles.

Verbal and nonverbal communication has profound effects on cultural identity. Conversational styles and nonverbal cues such as gestures, space, time and gazes are very significant in people’s lives and they help in keeping the ...

Summary of Assumptions

Jessica Scott, Colleen Pyle, and Narissra Maria focus on an area that has not been penetrated by previous researchers. Past work addresses the utilization of nonverbal behaviors as a mechanism of formulating and sustaining stable relationships. In the authors’ study, they develop a new ideology that seeks to examine the correlations between long-lasting relationships and positive nonverbal behaviors. The researchers assess the overall satisfactions of partners in a relationship based on the availability of positive nonverbal cues. Scott et.al (2010) tests two essential variables, that is, overall satisfaction and relationship longevity, with respect to the use of the positive ...

Views on the International Business Perspectives

International communication has been the research topic of various scholars and disciplines for several decades. The phenomena of globalization brought upon internationalization and growth of businesses, thus resulting into practicality and necessity of it. Due to the increase in business opportunities’ number beyond the borders of their own country, numerous organizations choose to extend their activities abroad frequently without understanding that the prospective financial growth can result into disastrous conditions because of the inappropriate communication with the individuals from the other countries. One of the typical misconceptions among the executives of the enterprises is that business communication ...

Globally, people make assumptions, judgments, and decisions about one another or things around them based on responses they receive from others. These assumptions are according to nonverbal communications that people use within their own cultures and how they deal with others. Often, these nonverbal reactions affect the way people communicate with and among each other, which makes understanding these nonverbal cues crucial when developing and maintaining relationships with other people. Do people expect other cultures to adapt to their own culture or are they willing to adopt another person’s culture? Are people expected to compromise or are they ...

Question 1

I would recommend to my friend to not start coaching from the beginning. Coaching helps people achieve a goal in the workplace by finding and implementing their own solutions. When the coach works with the coached, the intercultural perspective while communicating has to be considered. This involves not only the environment and background of the coached but also the industry and corporate culture. The way a managing team is addresses in the UK may be different from the way it is done in the U.S. or when compared to the fashion industry and international bank. For a foreign national, ...

Introduction

Over the years, little has changed the way romantic relationships are formed. Both scholars and the average dater agree it usually begins with physical attraction and perceived similarity, and progresses in a somewhat predictable manner from there. Typically, this progression has followed theoretical frameworks such as Knapp’s stages of relational development and Taylor’s (1968) social penetration theory. What these theorists might not have accounted for in the 1970’s (and what seems to be transforming the way young people pursue relationships) is the invention of the Smartphone.

Coordinated management of meaning (CCM) in social sciences provides an understanding of how individuals coordinate, create and manage meanings in the communication process.

Interpersonal Theory

Introduction When two individuals meet, those individuals may feel uncertainty and are motivated to communicate in order to reduce the amount of uncertainty. This is the idea of uncertainty reduction theory. Uncertainty reduction theory states that people attempt to understand interpersonal situation by reducing the amount of uncertainty. “Initial interactions between strangers are characterized by information seeking in order to reduce uncertainty” (UKY, 2016). This is done by seeking information in order to get to know the individual. Thus, reducing the amount of uncertainty that exists around the interpersonal communication. This paper discusses uncertainty reduction theory and explains the ...

Introduction of Mental Lexicon

Mental lexicon denotes a collection of words in the mind of any individual. According to linguists, it is a part of one’s grammar that encloses all the information linked to the words and morphemes including morphological, phonological, semantic, and syntactic (Dell et al., 1997).

In exploring the function of touch in the field of improving child/infant has been neglected. This is because of the theory developed by John Bowlby, which has gone on to focus on the actual need for an infant to attain a tight and unbreakable attachment to its caregiver. In honesty, this has been an extremely valuable contribution in trying to connect and aiding a child's growth in its infant period and future development. The theory is restricted in its reference of the importance of the sense of touch and its importance in its contribution to the making of the said theory. ...

Presentation Outline

With dark red lipstick, a tight lipped lady storms into the office and takes her seat, pushing her bag to the corner she glares at her computer. Her co-workers stand up to inquire, but receive a blunt “I am fine” reply. This contradiction between her nonverbal and verbal language leaves a confusing message for all. Such confusion definitely gives more value to the nonverbal message being communicated to others. Similarly, while giving a presentation in a conference room having the top management of an organization, talking on the subject of downsizing, let suppose a female presenter formally dressed stands up to speak. With normal sized ...

Communication is a fragile, delicate process we often take for granted. In many cases, we do not even realize we are communicating. Most of us believe to communicate we must speak, but this is untrue. We are technically communicating all the time. Verbally, nonverbally, through our movements, and even when we are still, everything that we do communicates something to those around us. The communication process is so complex is can often begin to cause problems for us and those we communicate with. One of the most common places communication problems occur is in the workplace. Superiors and subordinates sometimes ...

One of the more interesting situations where I saw proxemics and haptics in action was when I went with a friend who was interested in buying a used car. It was early on a Saturday morning and my friend and I were walking around looking at the different cars offered for sale. Although my friend concentrated on the cars, I was doing some “people watching” as well. One thing I noticed was although there was a sales man who was not engaged in conversation with a customer he did not immediately approach us. A few minutes later, I realized why; the salesmen were ...

Some of the norms that have persisted since a long time are:

- Discuss Cognition and Emotion. Can We Experience Emotion Apart from Thinking? Can you remember feeling emotion without knowing why?

There is a strong and direct relationship between cognition and emotion, although they are two different things and cannot be interchangeable. Cognition mainly refers to mental processes such as language, attention, problem solving, planning, memory, etc. Emotion on the other hand refers to any kind of subjective and conscious experience. Cases wherein cognition and emotion occurs at the same time are not uncommon. In the same manner, there can also be cases wherein an individual experiences emotion without cognition. I have ...

Conflict may be defined as the contest or struggle among people who have needs, opposing ideas, beliefs, values and even goals. The purpose of this essay will be to discuss the idea of conflict management and strategies of resolving conflicts.

When professional peers form teams, disagreement and conflicts are likely to occur and there is a need to find ways to express their divergent views (Cartwright, 2003). Conflicts may occur from short tempers, tight deadlines and other factors, but most team peers may not be acquainted with what to do; hence these conflicts may be destructive. "Regardless of the ...

Abstract:

The topic of interest is non-verbal communication where the intended audience is my instructors and fellow students. The choice of format for my PowerPoint is logical as it effectively offers a contribution to the thorough understanding of concepts surrounding the main topic. The presentation bears a clear beginning, a well-organized body, and clear conclusion. The format is critically designed (including the use of color, graphics, animation, labels, titles, and slide transitions). Graphics and images are sufficiently clear and the sounds produced are audible (Hook, Franks & Baue, 2011). The multimedia product in this case is technically correct and operates within minimal flaws ...

Question 1: Discuss the relative use of nonverbal behaviours, such as salient periods, interruptions, facial gazing, and touching, by people from various cultural backgrounds. How does this behaviour affect the negotiation process in a cross-cultural context?

Nonverbal communication is an integral part of our communication. However, it is often ignored in the formal framework of business interactions especially by people from Western cultures. In a cross-cultural context this approach may be highly misleading, because people from different cultures give different weights to verbal vs. nonverbal communication. Thus, if Italians tend to express their emotions through gestures, Germans or Dutch emphasize more ...

Before coming to Ireland I had lots of expectations and I really wanted to learn different ways of writing research reports particularly designing surveys, communication styles, ways of working in a team and time management skills. And indeed my experience has lived to my expectations; moreover, I have learnt CVs, personal statements and interviews, things I didn’t imagine I could learn during the course study in Ireland.

While in Ireland, I really wanted to attain presentations skills and master the effective communication processes so that I be able to relay messages in ways that the recipient finds it easy ...

According to the 2000 census in the United States of America, one in every three people can be considered as an ethnic minority. The world we live in is diverse and cross-cultural communication is important and unavoidable. Cheesebro, O’Connor and Rios (2010) state, “the better people understand each other, the better they will be at making their own communication more efficient and effective.” (p. 58).

The first principle of cross-cultural communication states that if the cultural/linguistic differences between people are great, than there is a greater likelihood that there will be a communication breakdown. The second principle is looks ...

There are five principles of verbal communication and a further five for nonverbal communication. These principles are important for the sender and receiver to achieve effective communication and establish a shared understanding (Cheesebro, O’Connor & Rios, 2010).

The first principle of verbal communication is to recognize that all languages have value. There is no language that is better than the other in terms of logic, ability to convey thought or complexity.

The second principle is to understand that everyone speaks a dialect. A dialect is a regional variation of language. It includes unique pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Despite the differences in dialects, ...

To gain respect I ...
