Sarai And Eleni: Nonverbal Communication Concepts

Improved Essays
For the group project, we met at the classroom and decided to go to the library and watch the videos together in a study room. Gabriella had her laptop out and we used her laptop to watch the videos. I wrote all the group members’ names and what two concepts they put together for their videos. Sarai and Eleni both took notes on the pros and cons of each video that was played. Before each video, we would so a short introduction stating what two concepts we chose and how we combined them into a comprehensive understanding of interpersonal communications for those two concepts. After the brief introduction, the video was played and we moved on to the next person. There wasn’t much discussion about the videos themselves until all the group members …show more content…
As we discussed, we compared and contrasted our different filming techniques and how we all decided on how to get our idea across in the video. Gabriella stated that she just looked in the book and decided it would be easy to do gender influences with nonverbal communication because in class, we did spend some time talking about those gender influences and just how much it impacts our communication. She also mentioned it was fun to have some of her friends in a skit because it got her thinking how to better explain the nonverbal communication portion. Sarai felt it would be easy to combine listening and nonverbal communication because in a way, they’re so similar that it’s just easy to put them together. It was harder to give critique for her video since we couldn’t watch it. It just wouldn’t load on YouTube when we opened it up. So instead, she did her best to explain what she did in her video and stated she explained the four steps of listening and how that would impact with nonverbal communication. Eleni’s video was hilarious in my opinion, I immediately was into it once she started out with “Flirting 101” as her introduction in the film. She did mention it was hard to combine self-actualization with nonverbal communication but she did a good job by using flirting as an example. I didn’t realize just

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.…

    When the video talked about how children were sent away to boarding school because their parents did not know how to handle them or communicate with them, it broke my heart. These children did not have regular communication with their families so they seemed to rely on the other children for love and support. Hearing the interviewees talk about their schooling adventure was pretty cool because they all had similar experiences. However, their experiences were not the best. Many of the people interviewed said that their deafness was treated as a handicap that…

    As a mental health counseling student, I have learned to appreciate the exhilarating moment when I work with an individual or group in a real or fabricated setting for the first time. This exhilaration was definitely not absent in today’s demonstration of the Autobiography technique with my classmates in a mock group. I could feel my mind dancing with thoughts of guidelines, self-awareness, and ideas of doing and saying the next right thing, while I engaged the group and each individual in a directed activity to spawn the specific goal of making discoveries about each other and identifying differences and commonalities. I have realized that my individual perspective of a client and/or the group broadened as I attended to what each individual…

    In his book, Floyd emphasizes nonverbal communication as the “behaviors and characteristics that convey meaning without the use of words” (179). Before this lesson, I didn’t notice that regular people use nonverbal communication as much as nonverbal people. Nonverbal communication provides a better connection between two individual. Unlike normal communication, nonverbal communication requires us to observe the partner’s facial expression and body language than just words. Therefore, we understand our partner feeling and emotion better.…
