Personal Narrative: Lexi Taplin's House

Nonverbal communication or body language makes up 55% of effective communication. This plays the biggest part in communication, and it shows the client or colleague more information than words alone ever could. Nonverbal communication includes facial expressions, body movement and gestures, head movements, eye contact, posture, and the use of distances and space. Understanding and using nonverbal communication can enhance the connection between you and others, navigate challenging situations and well as expressing interest in the conversation. this can also established effective rapport between you and the client or colleague.

Facial expressions through non-verbal communication are a sufficient way in listening, expressing emotion and giving feedback. Non-verbal communication is a vital element of interpersonal communication as it helps express emotion and personality through the process of exchanging information (Eunson 2012). Non-verbal signals such as facial expressions can be defined as

Non-verbal communication | 1. Posture. This is the way in which someone holds their self, the way the stand etc. 2. Facial expression. This is the way someone’s face responds to an action or words. For e.g.…if someone was told something they like they would generally be wide eyed and smiling. |

The Church hosts a multitude of activities to promote interconnectivity in the community. Aside from Sunday sermons, the church also holds weekly Wednesday bible study groups, church hoedowns, and a monthly potluck breakfast for the church's most

My classmate and I managed to find each other in church parking lot and made our way through the cloud of smoke and into the building. We entered a large hall filled with people of all ages. There were at least 50 people there; sitting, standing, hugging, talking and laughing. A couple of people were running a raffle in a corner. Coffee brewed in the small kitchen. I grew up catholic and this had the distinct feeling of being a church function.

Throughout the speech, the speaker used nonverbal communication many of times. To begin, he was constantly using his hands as he spoke to place emphasis on what he was saying and draw the listener in. Further, his entire body moved as he spoke which shows the listener that he is interested and engaged in what he is speaking about. Finally, as stated above, direct eye contact was not lacking in this speech which gives the listener the feeling that not only is the speaker interested in what he is talking about but that they should listen to him because he is powerful and knowledgeable in this area. Overall, nonverbal communication was of quality but I would

Aside from being a place of worship, St. Paul’s Anglican Church makes an effort to communicate and interact with their community. They implement several types of activities for all age types and welcome everyone. These activities consist of, a coffee house event, where they build relationships with students and community members, they provide a chance for students form McMaster University to come and study among their leaders if necessary, and offer a program called Sunday school children and afternoon guild members (StPaulsWestdale,2015)

Examples of nonverbal communication of this type include shaking hands, patting the back, hugging, pushing, or other kinds of touch. Other forms of nonverbal communication are facial expressions, gestures, and eye contact. When someone is talking, they notice changes in facial expressions and respond accordingly.

To begin in this explanation, it must be said that people tend to lack the most in the field of communication. A rider should know clearly what it is that they are asking of a horse before they attempt to communicate that request. In return, it should be established that the horse know precisely what it is a rider is expecting or asking of them. From the beginning, “a rider must learn this language so he can communication with his mount.” S3 (horse). A horse will not perform a task without knowing what it is being asked. When a horse is “…trained for riding [it] has been taught the language aids” S3: (horse). There are a multitude of communication methods that can be established between horse and rider. Methods of communication can be broken down into two main forms. Those two main forms of communications are, artificial and natural, or in layman terminology, fake or real. Artificial language communication “… include[s] the whip, the spur, and various types of equipment such as side reins and martingales.” S3: (horse). The other communication method mentioned above is the natural form. The natural communication method “…include[s] the voice, the action of the hands upon the reins, the use of ones legs and heels, the use of the back and the distribution of the riders weight.” S3: (Horse). When either of these communication methods or languages is implemented properly then a

We got on the ride quickly there was no line and I was scared, like about to pee myself scared. We all got strapped/buckled in and the ride started, it started climbing the first hill to then drop us onto whatever came next.It seemed like

This movie contains many examples of nonverbal language, making it hard to narrow down. In the end I chose the three things I thought had the most prevalence in the movie: Influencing others/body movement, the ambiguous nature of nonverbal, and managing impressions

Nonverbal communication is behaviors and characteristics that convey meaning with out the use of words. Sometimes accompanying verbal messages, to clarify or reinforce them. (Floyd, Communicating Nonverbally, 2013) It is said to be true that nonverbal communication sometimes gives more information that verbal communication. People’s facial expressions, gestures, and personal appearance are all forms of nonverbal communication and it relies on our sense of vision. For instance, when my sorority and I get together for a meeting and the president of our chapter stands up in front of everyone to share information, it is important that we let her know that we are interested by nodding our head in agreement, smiling at her, clapping our hands, and keeping eye contact with her so she knows our focus is on her. For our chapter it is important to reassure our president that we are listening and focused on what she has to say by using nonverbal behaviors. Without nonverbal communication, it would be hard to tell when someone is interested or not in a conversation. Nonverbal communication helps us maintain

While this conversation was taken place I also noticed facial expressions, which is a gesture executed by using facial muscles. Below is an example of how both gestures and facial expression are both used during a nonverbal conversation.

Scripture is clear on the negative affects of nonverbal communication. Proverbs 6:12-13 states “A troublemaker and a villain,who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers.” In this passage it is pointed out

“Systematic research on the role of nonverbal behavior in social interaction has been common only in the past 20 to 25 years.”(Edinger and Patterson, 1983, p. 30).because that statement was published in 1983, it is apparent that the study of nonverbal behavior has been around for roughly 50 to 55 years. However, that is still a relatively recent amount of time compared to research in other science fields such as chemistry or biology. Despite the fact that this field is relatively recent there are many theories about our interaction with others. This paper will discuss the nonverbal expectancy theory along with two other theories, and describe how these theories can work together.
