Public Display of Affection in Upis

In a lot of cultures touching is considered to be disrespectful and rude but in on our culture it is not a bad thing, it is etiquette. When we first meet someone, whether it is someone of the opposite sex or same sex, at a family gathering or social event they are often greeted with a hug, handshake, or a kiss on the cheek. If you walk in to a scenery of Cubans and do not greet them in any of those forms you are considered to be rude. Touching is a demonstration of affection. It is not taboo and does not carry a sexual connotation (Cuba, 2017). When someone in our culture goes to see a healthcare provider we like to be greeted by our formal name and with a handshake(Graham and Ritter, 2017). That is a respectful and professional way to approach us and makes us feel comfortable. When we feel comfortable in our environment it makes the appointment go by smoother and we are

For my breaching social norm experiment I was determined to do something I would never do even if it was a dare, especially since my ability to interact with strangers is not the best. So, I decided to make people feel uncomfortable by holding their hand. What I would do is walk up to the person from behind and slowly make my way to their hand to make them feel even more uncomfortable. People normally hold hands with their significant other, or with someone they know like a friend or family member, so to be holding hands with a stranger is out of the ordinary and awkward.

Touch: touching another person can send signs of care, love, power or sexual interest. You should think before touching someone in a health and social care environment as it could come across as inappropriate. If you give a child a hug when they are upset in a nursery or hospital this shows that you are caring and trying to make them feel better, but if a adult hugged a teenager this may come across as too intimate. You can use this in health and social care when you are in a care home and a client is feeling lonely and upset and you give them a hug they would appreciate that and not feel offended by it , as long as it’s appropriate and you have their permission to touch them.

For my breaching social norm experiment, I was determined to do something I would never do even if it was a dare, especially since my ability to interact with strangers is not what I consider advanced. So, I decided to make people feel uncomfortable by holding their hand. What I would do is walk up to the person from behind and slowly make my way to their hand to make them feel even more uncomfortable. People normally hold hands with their significant other, or with someone they know, like a friend or family member, so to be holding hands with a stranger is infrequent and abnormal.

In some cultures touching and hugging is a big part of their lives. How you touch someone says a lot about you. The way you touch someone says a lot if you touch them loving and comforting it shows you are kind. If you touch them too hard and hurt them, people are going to be afraid to touch you when they see you. In the United States we always shake hands with people when see them or meet someone a new person. That says you are friendly but not always in a good way. We shake hands with a lot of people and sometimes we don’t really want to see that person any more.

A recording of a vote of 6-7 was recorded in November 2012, backing up the City and the County of San Francisco portraying that a person can be able to bare him/herself and expose all their nudity in relation to genital or anal regions in given public places. Such actions can be intended at enhancing a given activity with the release of contracting with a given event such as festival, parade or fair as depicted in the Courts of the United States (2004).The city of San Francisco passed an ordinance given that the exposure of a person’s genitals, anal regions or perineum may not be allowed on any community street, street median, park let or plaza any many more public locations unless nudity is element of the permitted parade, festival or the person is under the age of five. Fines are given by the ordinance for the first violation through 3rdviolations as well as in the other, a likely term in jail of below an year for any violations amounting 3rd

The Rocky Mountain Middle schools rule on PDA states that any physical contact like hugging or holding hands is considered PDA. I will be talking about the positive effects of PDA and why it is not such a bad thing after all.

People are free to get close to one another, touch each other while talking and hug each other without any reservations. A hug is typically given as a greeting for people you know, and a friendly smile for those you don’t. Eye contact, however, is normally reserved for during conversations only. If you stare at people outside of a conversation, it could be considered rude as they might think you are judging them. There are many special gestures in the Filipino culture. For example, Filipinos point with their lips instead of their fingers and it is common for them to say “psst” so get someone’s attention. When addressing someone there are many different names to use. A man who is older than you is addressed as “Kuya” and then the first name (ex. Kuya Robert). A woman who is older would be called “Ate” (ex. Ate Kim). You would use these words as names for your older brother or sister, or you could use them as a respectful name for someone who is not blood related. Also the syllable “po” is attached to the end of a name for anyone who is older than you as another sign of respect.

This area includes behaviors such as observing facial characteristics, embracing, touching, or whispering. In situations where this space is invaded, such as in an elevator, people usually don’t make eye contact with other, much rather stare at a wall or a ceiling to avoid the awkwardness, or the invasion of the intimate space.

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

I recently observed a young couple interacting while sitting in a coffee house. To begin with, the couple seemed awkward and unsure initially and became more comfortable with one another as the time passed. The couple used all types of nonverbal signals but I particularly noticed there was very little space between them, they often touched, and they almost always maintained eye contact. While I observed them, they sat side by side on a small couch, facing each other, and the female sometimes touched the male's arms and thighs. Based on what I witnessed, the nonverbal signals helped this couple to successfully correspond to one another and moved along their conversation. Although I could not make out their conversation it was very evident both

Body language such as women who try to flirt or get a man to notice. Giving gestures such as starring into ones eyes and giving a grin or a smile is an example. As women show that they are attractive by “lifting here eyebrows in a swift, jerky motion,”(20) trying to not be so obvious to get someone’s attention. While men’s “chest thrust,” (21) in order to get a women’s attention. Gazing, one of many gestures to humans and primates used for attraction. Whether it’s a friendly high, getting someone’s attention, or hiding how one feels. An occurrence of an uncomfortable situation can happen. Recognition, talks, and touches other ways of mating depending on the situation. Having synchrony of meeting another

Men, on the other hand, are more likely than women to associate touching with sexual intentions and therefore are much less likely to use touch during a conversation with another male. (Carnes) At the core, the reasons why men and women have different body language tendencies lies in accordance with each respective gender’s interpretations of signals he or she gives or receives. It is clear that they ways that men and women use nonverbal communication significantly differ from one another.

Affinity-seeking strategies are strategies we use to increase others’ liking of us. “First, it is a strategic activity, that is, the individual is actively engaged in the manipulation of certain social behaviors with intended outcomes. Second, individuals possess a repertoire of strategies that are at their disposal, and these strategies are available to the agent at any point in time.” (Flint, 1992) Communicating your attraction to someone increases the probability that your partner will reciprocate, which enriches their attraction to the other person. Simple gestures could increase chances of establishing a deeper relationship. There are also direct and indirect strategies to get an idea of another person’s feelings.

According to Carnes (2010), since men are more likely than women to associate touching with sexual intentions, heterosexual men are less to use touch during conversation with other men. Due to what men call, “Manly hood” or a similar term called “standards”. Men tend to keep distances from people when they talk to them and touch them less. Men do not express too much when touching other men unlike women, where they are far less concerned about touching other women because they also use touching as an expression of friendship or sympathy. They stand close to people and touch them to generally connect with whoever they are talking to. The difference between the two are simple, men aren’t as open as women where they express their feelings to men through touching just as to other women. This is considered a nonverbal difference because, like other reasons, it can be interpreted in different ways by different genders.
