The Body Language of Rachel Notley Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEF7Pdadj-Y Background and Context On October 14, 2014, a promising Rachel Notley was featured in an interview with CityTV, as she was advocating her campaign as a candidate for the New Democratic Party leader. In her attempt to express her viewpoints, she was able to establish her thoughts not only verbally, but with the uses of her body language as well. Being defined as nonverbal communication, body language is known for its versatility in daily interactions. As it is divided into 3 key aspects, it is illustrated as a tool, demonstrated by Notley as she promotes her political campaign through her practice of facial expressions, posture, and gestures. The report will feature these key aspects. Record of Observation All three aspects of body language each contribute to a certain characteristic, aiding in determining certain moods and in determining personality. Facial expression, posture, and gesture each express different meanings as, it correspond to the different movements. As it is known as a tool that is used by successful people (Chapman, c2015), Notleys practice of the key aspects allow her to clearly communicate her points and arguments, in a non-verbally format. In her adaptation of the essentially skill, she establishes a professional, yet feminine image, also assisting towards her political career. Facial expressions: Facial expressions are known as one of the most universal forms of body
Victor Victoria is a movie filmed in Paris in 1934. The movie was about Victoria, a woman who did not have any job and could not t afford a great living for her. Later on, she met Toddy, a cabaret performer in a restaurant; they got along to each other and developed a friendship. As days go by, he convinced her of being a male impersonator who was pretending to be a female impersonator at the same time. After a while, she became a Paris sensation being admired by her audience because of her talent, charisma, and skills in dance. This movie was full of nonverbal cues from the beginning to the end. Nonverbal cues include gestures, facial expressions, body movements, body appearance, eye contact, vocal volume, your silence in any kind of situation,
I believe the nonverbal message in this image is Affect Displays. A woman with an obvious bad tan seems as though she has a negative reaction to the gentleman that’s doing a double take, looking at her. Her facial expression has a look of irritation from the staring
There may be more truth to the old saying, “it’s not what you say but how you say it.” On average, 93 percent of meaning found in communication comes from nonverbal messages (Mehrabian 1967). Nonverbal communication is the wordless transmission of information through body language, gestures, tone, space and appearance. The first televised presidential debate is a pivotal example of how pervasive nonverbal communication actually is to an audience, and how it affects the credibility of the speaker(s). The purpose of this analysis is to present both the categories and functions of nonverbal communication within the context of the 1960
In her study, she examined whether crying, acting tough, displaying anger, and other gaffes by male and female political candidates are received differently by the public. On the subject of crying, she found that it is unambiguous that candidates should do their best to avoid having an angry outburst while on the campaign trail. This is clear for both males and females, as she also found that it is no worse for a woman candidate to blow her top than a man. Overall,
Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on body language was incredibly inspiring and empowering. While watching the video, I realized that I not only do I observe these power and powerless non-verbal cues every day, I display them too. The outline of her experiment which demonstrated that non-verbal cues change how people feel about themselves, not just how other people think and feel about us, followed by her premise of faking it until you make it was especially compelling. However, taking this one step further and ending the presentation on such a positive note of encouraging others to ‘fake it until you become it,' is what resonated with me the most. I am looking forward to experimenting with the techniques that she covered in her speech.
The first video will be talking about None-verbal communication. The nurse having a talk with the patient in none verbal communication. She was talking in appropriate like the tone and volume of voice when speaking to the patient which is not the way to speak to a patient and also this includes her facial expressions because she was doing facial expressions in front of the patient which is really rude to do in front of your patient and she mostly was writing down the information, like she’s not really concentrating on her when writing the patients information. Her body posture wasn’t good because when she’s talking, she keeps on making movements when talking to the patient. This is supported by Solomon, Denise; Theiss, Jennifer (2012) who suggested the theory for this book. So facial expression is really important because when you talk to your patient, you have to have a smile on your face when talking to your patient because it shows that to the patient, your there to help them and trying to understand what the problem is with the patient, so when talking to the patient, you should always have a smile on your face so they feel happy and encouraged with the nurse at all times. This is supported by McHenry, Parker, Baile & Lenzi (2012) who suggested that journal.
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
Communication is not always only verbal. When communicating nonverbal ques can be more powerful than the actual verbal context. Nonverbal ques can be hand jesters, facial expressions, eye contacts, and effective listening. As a candidate for president of the United States of America, every form of communication is important and analyzed.
Throughout life there is always a point when we are not very sure about ourselves, it can be during a presentation or just life in general when we feel that we do not belong. During these instances, we do not know what it is that we need to do in order to change the way in which we need to change ourselves. In Amy Cuddy’s presentation, “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” she presents the idea about how our body language affects our actions. She proves her point by showing evidence, some of which include sight and blindness, providing conclusions from experiments, and presenting her personal experience. This allows us to see the affect our body language has in our actions.
Altogether, the discussion was well structured and it started with involvement from the large crowd. Cuddy asks how they are sitting in their seats during the moment. “We’re fascinated with body language, and we’re particularly interested in other people’s body language” (Cuddy). In short, we have judgements of other people’s nonverbal communication. When she said body language is communication and people can judge for it, I do agree that it is communication to an extent, and not everyone notices body language. For example, many children and teens may not care to acknowledge, unless it was over exaggerated and distracting. She gave two great examples to support her reasoning from research studies: “Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University, shows that when
Christine Sun Kim was born deaf, and therefore her nonverbal communications skill is more emphasized than the average hearing person. Out of all the nonverbal communication skills, kinesics is one concept that first came into my mind. According to Warren and Fassett (2015), kinesics are our “gestures, body movements, and facial expressions” (p.161). As Christine speaks, her facial expressions changes between every word and she
| Notes:The speaker talked about two different body languages, one is high power posed and the other one is low power posed. They showed totally different. For example, when we won the match, we automatically high our hands to show that we are happy. This posed is universal. On the other hand, when people felt sad, they will look at the low position. However, she also mentioned that the body language could change our mind. We can fake it and then become real through body language. She said it
After watching Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk: "Your body language may shape who you are", I liked how she made a clear distinction between "when we make judgments of other people" and "when we make judgments of ourselves". When we make judgments of other people, we tend to judge people by dissecting and analyzing their body language (nonverbal behavior). Yet, Cuddy mentioned that our body language also influences our behaviors/attitudes and decision-making skills. At the 3:21 mark, Cuddy states "So when we think of nonverbals, we think of how we judge others, how they judge us and what the outcomes are. We tend to forget, though, the other audience that's influenced by our nonverbals, and that's ourselves. We are also influenced
In Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk, “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” she develops her argument by beginning with someone’s posture and gradually builds up to someone’s attitude. Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk was a good way to show that a person’s body language does shape who the person is as an individual. Amy Cuddy makes a convincing argument that “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are.” In her discussion about a person’s posture, she points out the way people are sitting.
The first form of nonverbal communication that plays a significant role in influencing the voting behavior is the physical appearance of candidates. The analytical study by Olivola and Todorov (2010) states that today’s politics have become so extremely intricate and incomprehensible that it is almost impossible for voters to genuinely agree to every aspect of the candidates’ views. For instance, it is highly conceivable for voters to agree on international and security issues with one candidate and agree on economic issues with the other candidate at the same time. Hence, the number of the voters who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of political issues and unmotivated to study candidates’ policy as a criterion for making their choice has increased (Olivola & Todorov, 2010). In addition, according to Olivola and Todorov (2010), the field of cognitive psychology indicates that people’s minds tend to simplify decision making process by relying on simple rules when they are confronted with too much information. As a result, instead of behaving as rational actors and voting reasonably as they are believed to do so, voters are hugely influenced by and unconsciously opt for irrelevant cues, which in this case, the candidates’ physical appearance.
