Article 2 Body Languange Chely Dugger SPC 142-181 One can have the best of intentions, but the non-verbal language can be confusing if not properly construed. Body language has many components and can be easily misinterpreted if left to the assumptions of the viewer. In an article written by Carol Kinsey Goman, PhD; there at least ten tips that be implemented for success in communicating properly. The first few tips are assuming a power pose, active listening, and removal of barriers. All of these aid in the confidence building and can help an individual create a sense of security needed in order to demoralize the irrational fears they may be exhibiting. Also, Goman indicates that a slight appropriate touch, a smile, use of hands
A shrieking kid, a barking dog, the oven timer going off, a hungry husband that just got off work, and a tired fatigued broken-down wife. This is what full blown motherhood is like, and it all started with a “happy” marriage from a loving relationship. Marriages murder women and the poems “To the ladies” by Mary, Lady Chudleigh and “Marks” by Linda Pastan show that women should not have married men two centuries ago, and that women should not marry men now.
“Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body”(Coates 5). The phrase “lose my body” is reiterated numerous times in Between The World And Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The topic/theme of this piece of literature may be discernable as innocence as Ta-Nehisi profusely speaks of how his upbringing changed and affected his perspective on life. Coates uses a multitude of examples to portray this from how he witnessed another boy almost being shot at a young age to him learning and understanding the laws and “culture of the streets”(Coates 24) as who and even more who not to mess with(Coates 23). Coates effectively uses these examples as perfect representations of living in an American ghetto as well as how since birth blacks do not “own” their body and are susceptible to lose it.
Sometimes, some people are not able to communicate verbally, may be due to lack of confidence or they don’t know the language. That is why it is very important to observe their facial and body reaction so that any problems could be identified and dealt with. It is also important to observe an individual’s reaction in order to make sure the information has been understood so that you know whether you need to adjust your communication methods. You can also recognise any communication barriers such as language
Amy Cuddy’s speech on body language was incredibly powerful and useful. She begins by introducing the idea of posture, as body language can convey many things that can affect judgments made by others. People in general are influenced by nonverbal communications. For example our feelings towards political candidates or people's personalities are often affected. Amy Cuddy focused on power dominance. Power dominance can be observed on many levels, and can even be identified in animals. When a person feels power they open up, expand, this is a natural reaction to power. However, feeling powerless closes people, they try to become small. This can be observed when people of different power confront each other, their power can be seen through their body language. Gender can play a factor
When most people give a speech, they think it is all about the words that come out of their mouth. But in “Three Keys to Powerful Body Language”, an article by Lois Melbourne, he talks about everything in a speech that does not involve words such as the authority one transmits, the type of energy they have, and their audience awareness skills.

Amy Cuddy, in the Ted Talk “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” emphasizes the importances of people's body language and the effects it has on themselves. Amy is a social psychologist who studies prejudice and also works as a teacher at Harvard Business School. It was through her teaching and observation of her classroom that she became interested in learning about power dynamics and nonverbal expressions. After watching this video I was enlightened about how people can use their body language to improve their lives. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to learn how to boost their confidence as well as people who want to expand their knowledge on this subject.
Your normal verbal communication reveals a considerable amount about the person you are, however, what type of person are you when you’re communicating using non-verbal communication? Can your body language change people's perceptions of you and, ultimately, alter your personality? Social psychologist Amy Cuddy addresses both of these questions and even more, by analyzing the influence of nonverbal behaviour. Another important question that Amy will be answering is how “power posing” can help you “fake it till you become it,” while affecting both your mind and your hormones. Amy Cuddy studies both prejudice and power dynamics. She is interested in nonverbal expressions of power and dominance. When you’re feeling “small” you tend to shrivel up and keep to yourself, otherwise, when you’re feeling confident you

1.When we think about saying something, we tend to focus on what we’re going to say, instead of how we are going to say it. According to a studies cited in “The Wall Street Journal’s Career Journal suggest that during face to face communication, only 7% of meaning comes from verbal content, of the message – 38% comes from tone of voice, and 55% comes from body language such as facial expression, gestures, and posture.” (Page 76). This proves that nonverbal communication is more affective. A couple ways to improve nonverbal communication skills are using, eye contact, variations of tone of voice, facial expressions, and gestures and posture.

Body language speaks louder than any words you can ever imagine. Whether a person is telling people that he or she loves them, or whether their angry with them, or don't care less about them. What matters is that body movements reveal thoughts, moods, and attitudes. In a class room, this can be crucial. Both consciously and sub-consciously, the body of the teacher, tells the students about what's really going on. In the competitive and complex world of teaching, the ability to communicate with clearness, self-belief, and trustworthiness is crucial for success. Too frequently this ability is ignored. Logic and solutions are worthless, if they are not communicated in a way that persuades, motivates, and inspires the listeners. All day every
Non-verbal communication is an essential form of expression; it can support a verbal context or merely be the only method of relying on an idea or thought. Interpersonal and Group Dynamic textbook states “non-verbal communication is the primary way we communicate feelings, attitudes and emotions” (p.159). This manifestation can be transmitted through body language, facial expression to murmuring, thus understanding this form of communication is crucial since it can open or close a dialogue. Whereas, someone who is non-expressive, or has closed body language, it can be interpreted to be arrogant or not willing to exchange in a conversation. In this section of the course, I came to realize my non-verbal communication style is both negative and positive. The negative aspect is my body being restless or closed while distracted by other
Interpersonal communication among any two people is of vital importance to any relationship and is the life line in a workplace. No relationship of any nature can survive without proper communication. One of the most critical parts of effective communication in a work environment is being a good listener. Techniques for being a good listener include not interrupting, face the speaker directly, maintain eye contact at all times to assure interest, remain open-minded, wait for a significant pause to give feedback or ask questions, empathize throughout conversation and listening attentively while trying to visualize what it is the speaker is saying or describing. Good listening skills can help to construct strong relationships and friendships, solve problems and obstacles, ensure thorough understanding, resolve conflicts and improve accuracy of information with few errors. Good listening skills are essential in effective communication and can save careers, time, money and relationships. Another crucial matter of conversing includes the most mistranslated form of communication, which is body language interpretation; body language is the process of communicating with others nonverbally through conscious or unconscious gestures or movements and makes up about ninety percent of interaction between people. Facial expressions, voice tone, loudness and physical reaction all fall into the category of body language; furthermore, nonverbal communication through body movement underlines
Communication is essential in everyday life. Whether the message is brought across fluently can vary, as well, as how other people are informed. There are many ways of delivering a message in this ever expanding technological era. Some methods include texting, email, face to face confrontation, or even the movements of our bodies. Emotions are evoked differently with each method. Some people will get negative vibes from others that only want to contact through texting or may get an altered idea of your personality if you only call them on the phone. Understanding communication is very important in all cases which is why I focused on watching nonverbal communication. Before doing any research, I was interested in how communication changes through differing emotions. How can someone who is angry, express themselves without words differently, than someone you is content. I feel that there will be a clear difference with each emotion that can be observed through everyday activities. Nonverbal communication can be broken up into varying categories. For the sake of this paper, I will write about body movements (much of which involving facial gestures), eye contact, space, touch, voice (including silence), and cultural differences. Each of these categories will be related to the mood of the people in conversation.
