Valedictor Victoria Monologue

I’m holding my beautiful wife in my arms on the living room floor, I’m running my hand across

By observing us children learn how to interact with others, accomplish goals, and get along in the world. We are the examples, and what many do not realize is that our non-verbal messages and actions are stronger than our verbal ones. Non-verbal communication consists of expressions, tone of voice, eye contact, and actions.  The way you listen, look, move, and react tells the other person whether or not you care, if you’re being truthful, and how well you’re listening. When your nonverbal signals match up with the words you’re saying, they increase trust, clarity, and rapport. When they don’t, they generate tension, mistrust, and confusion. There are many different types of nonverbal communication. Together, the following nonverbal signals and cues communicate your interest and investment in others.

Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence agent and an expert on nonverbal communications and body language, asserts in his essay “Every Body’s Talking” that the body sends messages that are more effective as the words we say, interlocutors react unconsciously to mutual non-verbal messages, and don't realize that they communicate a lot of information without their knowledge. Although Navarro cleverly claims that a disagreement between two interlocutors can occur while the verbal message (words) is positive, and that non-verbal communication and body language add an extra dimension to the message, sometimes in contradiction with it, he fails to consider the cultural aspect. Different postures and gestures have different meanings in different cultures. This can be a drawback to use non-verbal communication. Insufficient samples also weaken this argument. In fact, people observed by Navarro cannot represent the entire globe’s population. The argument I have against his statement is that it is erroneous to claim that no one can keep a secret since if the lips are silent, the body is speaking.

On September 12, 2008, I observed two people; Person A and Person B. The observation took place at Applebee’s, a local restaurant, beginning at 7:21 p.m. and ending observation at 8:06 p.m. I was serving their table for the evening, enabling myself to observe them closely. The restaurant had died down from the dinner rush, leaving them one of three tables in the smoking section, normally filled with eight. Along with the outside light fading, the lighting indoors was dim, making the dining experience feel more quiet and intimate. The background noise was filled with a light roar of other group’s conversations, and a jazz station played quietly from the speakers overhead.

Gender and culture can influence nonverbal communication. It’s a behavior other than written or spoken language that creates meaning for someone. As an example, women seem to use facial expressions more frequently than men do. (Adler, R., Rodman, G., and du Pre, A. (2015). Culture can altogether impact nonverbal correspondence too. The indications operated by Americans may not generally be dubious to the motions of those in other countries. Types of nonverbal communication are with body movement including body orientation, posture, gestures, and touch. (Adler, R., Rodman, G., and du Pre, A. (2015). Nonverbal correspondence is used by about a wide range of correspondence whether it is straightforwardly or by implication. Nonverbal correspondence incredibly impacts discussions by the use of hand motions and facial appearances. In the film, there were numerous times Joe and Kathleen used non-verbal communication. An example would be that toward the start of the film, both Joe and Kathleen jumbled their practices. They conveyed that getting on their computers and messaging each other was fairly forbidden and should have been hidden.

My writing assignment is to explain nonverbal communication “messages expressed by nonlinguistic means”. (Adler et al 431) so that you may understand that verbal communication is just a small part of the communication process and that through nonverbal communication you can communicate without even using words or by the way you say the words. Let me warn you that you need to be very careful when trying to interpret nonverbal communication, because nonverbal communication can be ambiguous. What I mean by that is nonverbal communication can have more than one meaning as you will see later in this writing assignment.

Ms. Blanton discusses the time that she was homeless. She became suicidal and wanted to kill herself. She lived inside a van in a parking lot, but she was also a writer. She began to receive recognition and became a working writer.

A scene that has very powerful non-verbal communication in this movie is when Cady is invited to a costume party and dresses like Bridezilla, while every other girl looks 'cute.' She was invited by her crush who just so happened to once date Regina George, and once Regina realizes that Aaron invited Cady and knows that Cady is a threat to her she tells Cady that she will talk to Aaron and see if he likes Cady and instead she goes up to him and starts making out with him, sending Cady a powerful, non-verbal

Nonverbal communication is the way people can, without words intentionally or unintentionally, express their thoughts with facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, body positions and movements. The biggest aspect of the crowd’s influence was the roaring and body positions and movements. They were all huddled around him at that moment in time, and nothing else seemed to matter to him. All other things were blocked out of his mind beside the fact that he could be seen as courageous, instead of a frightened boy. He was so worried about looking a fool that he went against his better judgement. Right before he was ready to shoot, the crowd grew still with a deep, low, happy. This is an anticipation of the crowd and a build up right as something is about to happen. It adds a dramatic effect to the

Nonverbal communication covers all aspects of communication beyond words. It is anything from body gestures to the way words are spoken. The tone, demeanor, hidden meaning behind words, mix that with body language and what is creates in nonverbal communication elements. Even clothes and personal appearance can send a nonverbal message. Nonverbal communication accounts for nearly 65-93% communication means (Wood, 2014). One area where nonverbal communication sent a negative, incorrect message is the movie Erin Brockovich. The clothing of the main character sent the message that she was uneducated, white trash. This could not be further from the truth. She was an intelligent, single mother who saw a problem where nobody else did.

The aspect of nonverbal communication has been studied extensively for at least four decades. During the 1960s, volumes were printed about "body language." While that label has become trite to the point of jokes, the subject itself is valid and has been given a more appropriate label: nonverbal communication. Words, in and of themselves, do not convey the entire message in any communication interaction. There are always nonverbal cues. Even in a telephone conversation, there is are cues in terms of voice inflection, tone, volume, speed. Loudness and/or a harsh tone, for instance, communicates hostility and/or anger. Whether the speaker means to convey that message or not is immaterial because it is the listener's interpretation that will set the tone for the rest of the conversation.

In a romantic relationship, it is easy to have miscommunication between a man and a woman. “Most researchers agree that 70% or more of the meaning of any message is communicated through nonverbal channels like eye contact, facial expressions, posture, hand gestures, etc.” (Stinnett, 2015). Verbal and nonverbal messages are like a relationship, they work well together that way the message is sent and delivered appropriately and that there is no miscommunication. Women have their way of expressing themselves to their boyfriend, fiancé, and or husband and vice versa for men. This paper will focus on the varying behavior of gender in expressing the different type of emotions using nonverbal communication in a romantic relationship. Following

In every society nonverbal communication is one of the most powerful tools that a person can use to interpret the message that is being delivered. Even though verbal communication is fairly straightforward, nonverbal communication allows others to sense the true emotions of the person that is expressing them. For example even though a person may say that they are not irritated, their usage of voice may display otherwise. Nonverbal communication not only reveals hidden messages, but it also complements, substitutes, and exaggerates verbal communication.

What is the difference between a 21st century woman and a Victorian woman? Most women in the 21st century are exhilarating, lively, intelligent, passionate, and full of life, but who is to say that Victorian women were not? It is said that the typical Victorian woman must have “inherent qualities of femininity [such as:] emotion, passivity, submission, dependence, and selflessness” (Historical). Most of the Victorian women abode by these social standards and therefore could not speak their true thoughts or emotions. This is because they “were dominated by their sexuality, and were expected to fall silently into the social mold crafted by men, since they were regarded as irrational, sensitive, and dutiful” (Historical). A famous writer from that era, Charlotte Bronte, defied these social standards by creating characters and explaining, through them, her own thoughts and beliefs. The protagonist, Jane Eyre, was created to exemplify Bronte’s powerful emotions that would have been looked down upon in society. In Charlotte Bronte’s Victorian novel, Jane Eyre, Bronte uses constant description of fire to symbolize Jane’s emotions and her thoughts that could not have been expressed aloud. Bronte also uses fire to demonstrate the emotional aspect of Jane’s personal development throughout the novel. Overall, Bronte creates this symbol of fire to defy the social standards of typical and suppressed Victorian women by demonstrating their true passion and exuberant emotions.

At Centennial Elementary school Mrs. Madrigal was giving a composition lesson that focused on summarizing. During academics on Tuesday, March 15th, 2016 at 5 o’clock the lesson on summarizing was given to first graders. The lesson was introduced by the teacher in a fun and exciting way. The teacher asked who has played football or if the students have a favorite team. Some students mentioned the teams their parents liked and others didn’t know anything about football. Then, the teacher handed out a worksheet that had the word “Football” in bold and larger text in the top middle section of the page. The top half of the worksheet had two sections, to its left it had a paragraph that consisted of nine sentences and to the right, a picture of a football player about to throw the football and someone covering him and another person from the opposite team trying to stop him. As the teacher read the short paragraph, the students read along with her. There were seven students during the lesson and they all seem to enjoy reading about football. After reading the paragraph some students wanted to discuss football teams, but the teacher mentioned that they are going to get a chance to express their preferences about their favorite team later and to focus on only the short story about football. The bottom half section had two questions. One asked to write in complete sentences what was the story
