Body Language : Is It Important Way That Helps People Understand Others?

Rhetoric writing and presenting would not be created without body language, as body language was created first and is the main aspect of the rhetoric style. Body language isn't superior to that of rhetoric styling, written or presented. Body language shares about a personal liking to the topic, their emotions, and how much they are invested in the matter. No matter how sophisticated or someone is in writing or talking, without good body language, it can not show the true confidence and care for their talking point. The rhetorical technique is the way of using language effectively and persuasively, spoken or written.

For video 1, I was not very comfortable. It was hard for me to imagine that my classmate is a real client. I felt better, after a while. When I watched myself on video, It was like, I wish I looked more in the client’s eyes and I regret that I looked at my paper more than him. Also, I looked at the video and I felt it is not really me. I thought that, I could do better than this.

The two doctors in the clip show a open and positive body language. This shows the patient that they are friendly and encourages the patient to express any worries or feelings.

There are eight key forms of nonverbal communications used on a daily basis. These forms can affect the way people view another person; however, without understanding the forms of nonverbal communication there is certain to be a lot of misinterpretations. Cultural and language differences are a common reason for miscommunication. When communicating with people in different cultures, a person should be extremely aware of the hand gestures and nonverbal communication tools they are using. Many of the hand gestures used in the United States that mean good things, mean offensive and profane things to other cultures. Nonverbal communication is described as body language, hand gestures, and facial expressions. It is known that people reveal more information through nonverbal communication, than words alone to get a point across. There will always be some interaction between two or more people that everyone’s

Thesis Statement: Body language expresses emotions and actions unconsciously and differs between men and women depending on their brain type, emotional experience and culture.

Body language (the process of communicating nonverbally through conscious or unconscious gestures and movements). People all of the world use body language or gestures to communicate nonverbally. I personally think that nonverbal communication and body language are one of the biggest barriers in communication especially between one culture to other. Body gestures can be misinterpreted as rude or disrespectful depending on the country, region, or even the city you’re from.

Until now that I’ve viewed a video showing how various body movements can easily send a message without even having to speak, I don’t think I’ve ever paid more attention to others body language as I will for now on. A set combination of facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice is exactly what body language is composed of. In the video “Secrets of Body Language”, it’s been mentioned that fifty-five percent of human communication consist of simple body language, which in most cases we are not aware of. One has to actually seek beyond what’s being spoken to them and focus on the body language that the messenger is truly sending. Throughout the video, a few body language analytics were placed to the test of reading the language many politician and others sent using gestures among others and certain tones while facing the crowd.

Despite the fact that Amy Cuddy’s entire argument in “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” is on how to be powerful through body language, she demonstrates everything a powerless person would do. In her argument Cuddy states that powerful people make their presence big, stand wide and tall. Yet through her entire speech she barely takes up a square foot on the stage. Cuddy says, “What do we do when we feel powerless? We do exactly the opposite. We close up. We wrap ourselves up. We make ourselves small.” (4:55) However she fails to realize that this is exactly how she appears to the audience while on the stage. Her arms remain close to her body and she acts closed off to the crowd in front of her. She gives her audience examples of being

Most people are surprised to learn exactly how much information they communicated about themselves through their facial expressions. The intricacies of what one does with their the eyes, eyebrows, forehead, lips, tongue, teeth, and mouth while listening or talking combine to send some

In Amy cuddy’s speech “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” she recalls some weak and powerful body poses that can reveal what character we have and can affect other peoples' judgement about others and themselves. For example, she recalls that “some of weak body poses such as wrapping ourselves up or making ourselves small or isolating ourselves from other people all of these shows that we have low self-esteem and power body poses such as raising hands high or filling up more space show trust and confidence”. According to Amy Cuddy, body language can affect people's judgments of others and themselves because through the use of body language, we reveal some of our personal habits and characteristics such as (joyful, self-confidence, sadness, etc.….). I think that Amy Cuddy’s speech is useful and incorporating these ideas that she discussed can help make my life better because applying these ideas, even if I even don’t feel that positive or energetic, it will help me be more confident and in the long term more energetic. Altering one’s body behavior can definitely change a person’s life in a meaningful because by even faking or

Body language, while easily overlooked as a means of communication, is used every day when people interact with one another. We interact beyond words by using what we call nonverbal signals. According to many experts in this field, such as James C. McCroskey and Virginia P. Richmond, the authors of Nonverbal Behavior in Interpersonal Relations, body language makes a huge difference in our daily communication. For example, the way we pose, the expressions on our face, and even the tone of our speech, which are all nonverbal communication methods, change the volume of speech and thus have various impacts on the overall communication. Almost half of our communications involves people’s use of body language to convey their thoughts, whether or not those happen unconsciously or consciously; understanding body language is very important for daily communication with one another. Since Eastern University is a small Christian college, students and professors have the opportunity to have better and intimate relationships with each other. Therefore, professors should not only use more efficient body languages to interact with students individually but also use various types of body language to improve class atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of body language can help international students have a better understanding of the American education system.

Nenshi sits in front of the lens, while the interviewer sits to the left of the camera, so Nenshi faces to the left in order to communicate with him. Now let’s talk about Nenshi’s body language in three parts: posture,gesture and

One important thing I learned this week is that literacy appears in many different forms, each form being unique and essential to communications, in different ways and in different cultures. The perceptions you make of other people are influenced by visual cues from their body language, the language they speak, and your own ideas and experiences. I found the video by Mark Bowden (2013) extremely interesting and noticed that during the changes of his body language I did in fact begin to change my opinion of him. I can relate this to my life experiences by thinking about people I have come across who displayed different signs of body language, and why I would be more likely to approach those displaying the “friend” signals in a social situation

The speech by Amy Cuddy in this video is very intriguing and was surprised that the most of the fact she talked about correlates to different human behavior. She says we’re fascinated with our body language. We dissect and analyze and judge people and in particular we scrutinize public leaders. A handshake or lack of one can have us talking for week. I like how she talked about how our body language can changes when we feel confidant and when we feel low. I have observed these kind of body languages in my professional. She found that 86% who posed in the hight power position would gamble, versus 60% for low significant difference. There were also physiological change for participants also who had about an 85 increase in high or 10% low. There

Body language is the postures, facial expressions, and gestures we make to communicate. Body language can be used in place of words or it can be accompanied by spoken language. This form of language allows those involved in a conversation to understand communication with others more easily and effectively. The way a person stands, moves and focuses their attention allows others to notice and understand how the person feels in a situation. If someone is not comfortable in a situation, they may say they are comfortable, but could look down, keep their feet together or crossed, and they may hold their arms close to their body. This signals to the others that this person is not comfortable. Employee interactions with customers and other employees is unique in that their interactions with customers are very different from their interactions with each other. While conducting research on employee interactions at an apple orchard in central Maine on a Saturday and Sunday morning, I asked myself the following questions: What type of body language was used while communicating with the customer? What gestures did the employee and the customer make? How was this different from the body language and gestures made between co-workers? These questions are essential to the research, because asking the questions during observations allows for more accurate and detailed observation. The questions guide the research and keeps it focused on the movements of the chosen
