INFLUENCES ON NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
CULTURE
GENDER
MY EXPERIENCE ON THIS CHAPTER
EXAMPLES
TEXT
Function - Contradicting: "Angry? No, I'm not angry!" (yelling with a red face)
EXPERIENCE
Influence - Culture: In my culture, we do not hug to say hi or shake hand to introduce yourself to new people. The truth is we say hi with a bow, both arms crossed to show respect. In fact, when I used that way to say hi to my instructor, he was really surprised since American culture has different way to show respect.
QUESTIONS
CONFUSION
Apparently, I have not found any confusion in this concept of nonverbal communication because the definitions are clear so far, and the examples are universal in life.
CURIOSITY
What I am curious about is type of nonverbal communication which includes the idea of appearance. It is interesting that the way you look also have a communicative sign for people around you, so that I want to know how it would operate in any situations.
SURPRISING
What surprised me is that Nonverbal communication is the function of this type of communication. Before reading this, I usually assume that nonverbal language are used to mostly send informative signals with the idea that the receiver knows what we want.
