on political matters, whether or not a particular restaurant sounds good or if the dress one’s wife is wearing makes her look fat. Nonverbal communication can go much further in expressing one’s needs, feeling, and wants to another person. If a person is taken to Germany and is ignorant to the German language that person would be able to obtain food, a place to sleep, and many of the other basic requirements needed to survive. Many of the expressions and gestures one can make are universal. If one points to their left wrist, one is asking the time. If one puts their hand to their mouth in a drinking or eating fashion, then those actions are conveyed to the other person. “Examples of nonverbal messages which actually take the place of verbal messages are shaking a clenched fist, a look of disgust, shaking the head in disbelief, a look of contempt, rolling the eyes, a deep sigh and tone of voice. All of these can tell a…

“Non verbal communication entails communicating by sending and receiving wordless messages. These messages usually reinforce verbal communication, can stand alone, and convey messages on its own” (Nayab, 2011). The reinforcement for non-verbal communication is obtained by body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, tone of a voice and a touch. Amongst all of the reinforcement facial expressions is the most prevalent, since a smile or a frown can ultimately convey a message more than words can. A smile invites a person in, for example when you smile at someone that person feels at ease and wants to communicate more. On the other hand if the person is frowning this is a message to stay clear from that person, since it appears that something has made them mad. A firm handshake shows confidence and a neat appearance shows that the person respects themselves as well as others. This is usually apparent when a person is interviewing for a job, having a business meeting with potential clients, or just having dinner with the family. A simple pleasant tone can express joy or pleasure, such as laughing at a joke or talking with a small child. On the other hand a strong aggressive tone can display anger or displeasure, such as yelling at an employee for lack of job performance, or at a teenager for staying out past curfew. Another non-verbal communication that shows a person whether to approach or stay back is the way a person’s body movements are. In certain situations if a person is nervous he/she will move constantly and…

Nonverbal communication is unstoppable and significantly valuable as much as speaking with a loud tone of voice and communicating verbally. In nonverbal communication, “All types of communication do not involve the exchange of words,” is defined as nonverbal communication” (Rogers & Steinfatt, 1999, p. 67). A facial expression is the most common skill used…
Verbal communication is organized by language; non-verbal communication is not. Most of us spend about 75 percent of our waking hours communicating our knowledge, thoughts, and ideas to others (Allis, 2002). However, most of us fail to realize that a great deal of our communication is of a non-verbal form as opposed to the oral and written forms. Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, body posture and motions, and positioning within groups. It may also include the way we wear our clothes or the silence we keep.…

You will write a minimum of 2 pages (see the syllabus for font type, font size, and spacing requirements) discussing what you learned about nonverbal communication from each person and the assignment overall. You must use terms and concepts from your textbook and one outside source in your analysis. Encyclopedias, Wikipedia’s, and Dictionaries are not acceptable sources. You are expected to have MLA citations throughout your paper as you discuss specific terms and concepts. This means the author’s last name and page number in parenthesis each time you discuss information from that source in your paper.…

Mirror neurons are defined as a group of neurons that fire both when the monkey executes a motor act and when it observes another individual (a human being or another monkey) performing the same or a similar motor act. They were discovered by a group of scientist at the University of Parma, Italy, when working on monkeys. The researchers, led by Giacomo Rizzolatti, had observed strange phenomenon with peanuts. They discovered that same group of neurons was responding when the monkey would pick up food and when the monkey saw someone performing the same action. This means that the same cells of the brain that are involved in motor planning are concerned in seeing the activities of others. It seems that the brain mirrors the movement it sees.…
When two individuals are in close agreement with one another or wish to exclude others, frequently they will unconsciously mirror the other's body language. For example, one person might cross their legs and very shortly after the…
