Victoria Nonverbal Cues

The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.

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.

Verbal messages carry majority of social meaning in a conversation. It is through nonverbal cues and clues that the sender and receiver are able to understand each other and exchange a message. This paper will explore the nonverbal communication exchanged in a scene from the program New Girl during season two, episode seventeen. The plot of this episode expands upon four roommates discovering their single parking space and arguing over who deserves it. The roommates consist of four guys and one girl; Schmidt, Winston, Nick, and Jessica. Due to Nick’s seeming lack of interest, they decide he shall be the “decider” and he chooses Jessica. Nick and Jessica have recently kissed, Schmidt claiming she had an unfair advantage. Therefore, Nick gets

I decided to go to Panda Express at 5:30 pm for my observations, while there I was able to observe just how much people rely on nonverbal communications to get their point across. Although I witnessed several encounters of unique body language, there were also a few actions that reoccurred several times in several different people. For example, when a customer would approach the counter where employee served the food, the employee would raise her eyebrows and smile at the customer. The employee’s smile, however, did not reach her eyes suggesting that while it is her job to smile and be welcoming to the customer, she most likely did not want to be at work. Additionally, I noticed that when customers approached the counter about 90 percent of them had their arms crossed. The act of crossing ones arms usually means that a person is trying to put a barrier between them and a situation that they either don’t like, or are uncomfortable with. This may mean that the customers were displeased with having to wait in line to get their food, on the other hand it may be that they were simply comfortable folding their arms. Once they reached the front of the line, every customer pointed to the food they wanted along with verbally telling the employee. This made their communication more effective as it helped to overcome the barrier of sound because the restaurant was noisy.

Toddy accepts the ride to show off that they’re wealthy even if they are not. This scene in my eyes is one of the great barriers that distinguishes men and women. In addition to the things that accentuates a woman, there also exist the things that accentuates a man. For example the way men greet each other. I man greeting another man would simply shake hands, but a man greeting a woman would kiss her hand. There is also the nonverbal cues of what a gay man should look like. In this movie we have the bodyguard, and the boxer who are two gay men but King Marchand refuses to admit it due to the nonverbal cue that they are both strong men. Also, when the gangsters think that King Marchand they try to get rid of him by paying him off because gangsters can’t be seen as gay because they are usually strong feared men. Nonverbal cues are used in this movie to emphasize the socio-economic class of the characters. In the opening scene of the movie we see Victoria singing, we automatically know she is poor by the clothes she is wearing. She has a broken glove, and no fancy jewelry. This nonverbal cue was intended to demonstrate that she is a struggling singer. In a later scene we see Victoria walk by a restaurant and see a fat man enjoying a large variety of pastries. The size of the man is intentional and is what let’s the audience know that he is wealthy because he obviously eats a lot of pastries which only a rich man could afford in this time

Toni started to question why they were heading towards Las Vegas. She turned to her aunt and asked why they were heading towards Las Vegas and her aunt replied” We’re not going to yosemite today.” Toni said, “why not tia?” “We’re going to take the long way and go to St. George for a couple of days.” Toni replied “Oh.” Vero said “We’re going to go visit your tio’s aunt and uncle.” “Oh cool and they live in St. George?” “yes.” she replied. They went along their way their first a stop in Las Vegas. They stopped at “best buffet” in all of Las Vegas. In Toni’s opinion that was not the best buffet. She has had way better. All the different aroma of sushi and fish made Toni want to gag. At the buffet they had exatic foods from all over the world but they also had the basics such as mac n cheese, mini sliders, and pizza. Then they left and they were on their way to St. george. About 4 hours later they finally got to Chris’ aunt and uncle's’ house. Toni politely went up to them and greeted them and said “Hello my name is Toni and im Chris’ niece and i will be staying with you the next couple of days.” They

The man she had called was, Mr. Pignati, also known as “The Pigman.” Lorraine explained that herself and John was a charity and was asking for money. This man lived on the street over from John and Lorraine and said he would give them ten dollars. A few days later, John and Lorraine went to his house on Howard Avenue and Mr. Pignati told them to make themselves at home. After leaving his house, they cashed the check, however, John and Lorraine began to feel bad about misleading him. This whole mess they got themselves into was all because of a prevarication Lorraine said. Ever since that day, the teens would try to visit him regularly. Mr. Pignati had an avocation and that was going to the zoo. One day Mr. Pignati asked them to go to the zoo and it took some convincing, yet they finally agreed to it. When they all went to the zoo, they met Bobo, a baboon, who was The Pigman's best friend. Mr. Pignati also loved to go to the nocturnal house in the zoo. The Pigman’s wife had died, so he didn’t have many other people he could talk to. Later on, Norton started to get interested in John and Lorraine’s friendship with Mr. Pignati. John repeatedly told Norton not to anguish about it and it was “none of his

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.

Don’s concern with public image maintains a prominent role throughout the film, culminating at the premiere of The Singing Cavalier. Don’s strange treatment of Kathy eventually reveals his love of spectacle. Pulling back the curtains to recognize the truth behind the fantasy, this time including the audience at the premiere. Don’s treatment of both Kathy and Lina prioritizes theatricality and his own public image above either woman. After embarrassing Lina, Don runs onto the stage and tells everyone that “she’s the real star of the picture”(). Once he reaches her, Kathy’s tearful expression quickly changes from distraught to elated and the two kiss. The resolving nature of this event seemingly shadows the theatrical nature of Don’s antics. By not telling Kathy, Lockwood

When communicating with Marcus about Christianity the non-verbal cues will be to listen to what he has to say about what he believes and why. When Marcus sees that I am listening to what he is saying, he will be more willing to listen to what I have to say when it is my turn to speak. Another non-verbal cue to use when communicating with him will be to make eye contact and nod my head when he is talking. When I do this, I am showing him that I am very interested in what he is saying and that I care. It also ties into the first nonverbal cure I mention about listening. Verbal communication that would be important is to ask him a lot of questions. By asking questions I can find out things that he has not already mentioned. It will also help to

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.

Any communication interaction involves two major components in terms of how people are perceived: verbal, or what words are spoken and nonverbal, the cues such as facial expressions, posture, verbal intonations, and other body gestures. Many people believe it is their words that convey the primary messages but it is really their nonverbal cues. The hypothesis for this research paper was: facial expressions directly impact how a person is perceived. A brief literature search confirmed this hypothesis.
