Closeness or Personal Space (Proxemics) Each culture, and even within cultures in terms of rural and urban living, has different levels of physical closeness appropriate to different types of relationship, and individuals learn these distances from the society in which they grew up. In today's multicultural society, it is important to consider the range of non-verbal codes as expressed in different ethnic groups. When someone violates an 'appropriate' distance, people may feel uncomfortable or defensive.…
Isolation is when one feels lonely or left to be by their self. There is no one to help them deal with their problems, or no one to at least talk too. Isolation played a key role in several books and poems that was read. Females and males both experience isolation, but they are expressed in different behaviors.…
Discussion Board Wk2 Throughout this discussion board I will discuss the health practices, disparities and influences of the German culture which is different from my own. I will further discuss biological variations within that culture and explain how gaining the awareness of the German ethnicity can influence the care that I provide for them. Communication varies among cultures, how they speak, the voice quality and their use of nonverbal communication all differ between the different cultures. Germans rarely give compliments which makes them seem unfriendly at first but Germans do have a keen sense of community and desire to belong. **** Space is perceived through the degree of comfort a person feels in proximity to the physical and personal space of others.…
Summary of Amy Cuddy: Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are June 2012 Amy Cuddy gave a TED Talk called “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” in June 2012 and her thesis of the speech is that our body language have an effect on our strength/weakness and that society should “Fake it till we become it.” In Cuddy’s speech, she explains the importance of body language and accomplishing goals. She informs the audience about how we analyze and judge people based on their body language.…
After completing my cultural assessment in class, I had to find a time to interview my mother, Kimberly. Luckily, this past week she has been out of school on spring break so it was easier for her to have the time to answer all the questions. I called her Tuesday March 29th around two o’clock in the afternoon. She was just finishing mopping the kitchen floor and was sitting down to eat. She told me that I could ask her the questions while she ate.…
In most cultures, solitude is a sign of withdrawal from the society. However, some people find peace in separating themselves from others. Although they may interact with people, they do not disclose their personal life to other people. Some people do not know how to maintain personal boundaries.…
Communication is a key aspect to our survival on this planet. If we didn’t communicate, we wouldn’t be able to do much in any aspects of our lives. We use verbal communication to actually say what we mean, but we also use nonverbal communication. That is like body language, facial expression, gestures and eye contact. When someone is talking to you, you should make sure you are analyzing all of these and also listening to what they are saying.…
I agree with you that every culture has a unique quality, especially with nonverbal communication. I recently took care of a Hispanic patient and one of the family members explain more about some of their cultural interactions and the proper way to communicate with the patient. This conversation made me realize that we do not think about our own behaviors or mindful of the differences in the ways other cultures interact. In the Hispanic culture, eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. Verbal and nonverbal communication is learned behavior and difficulties arises when individuals do not communicate in a way that is prescribed by the culture (Giger & Davidhizar, 2013).…
As one lives life every day, one hopes for a better tomorrow. No one knows what the future will hold for themselves or their families. Sacrificing themselves to the world hoping to survive to receive: food, water, and shelter. Not to mention, praying that no one will take everything one has worked hard for in order to be alive. In Terence Mallik’s:…
I agree with you Allison, it is the responsibility of the source, who is sending the message to make sure that the receiver is getting the correct message. In the hospital, nurses are always teaching patient. It is the responsibility of the nurse to ask the patient to repeat back in order to find out if the teaching was effective. Nurse gives instruction about how to take medicine and use medical terminology which general public may not understand. Furthermore, word may have different meaning in another language.…

Nonverbal communication is more important than you would ever imagine. This type of communication can vary from facial expressions all the way to touch. According to the book, “Nonverbal communication also influences how individuals interpret messages, especially those related to feelings, moods, and attitudes.” If you are upset with a friend, family member, or significant other it is very unlikely that you are going to tell that person. You would keep your distance from that person and probably reply to them very short when they try talking to you.…
Body emotion can send a conversation in either a negative or positive direction. Depending on how you project it. The two concepts that I can say I can relate to but also need to work more on are Kinesics, which is one of the Non-verbal codes and Reactivity, which comes from conflict styles. I choose these two because I believe they both serve an important purpose in achieving a respectable connection with another individual. Kinesics is very important because it’s what gives communication a sense of feeling.…
These two components are important to conveying messages effectively. Consequently, words communicate the basic content of the message, while, facial expression and body language express the feelings and attitudes of the speaker. In close or important relationships, whether personal or business, it is important to engage with face-to-face interactions in-order-to communicate using both verbal and non-verbal cues. Still, there are other situations where verbal or non-verbal communication alone is sufficient to get my point…
