I believe my delivery in this speech seemed to be better than my informative speech. Three specific nonverbal behaviors I noticed in this speech were the use of hand gestures, moving and using gestures, and eye contact.

There’s the banter of family members as they argue purely to pass the time. The only thing driving me to survive this treacherous car ride is the thought of what is to come. After waiting so long, the realization hits me that I will finally get a dog. Once arriving to the house, eagerness to step out onto the grass overcame me. The fresh air and hot breeze were a reliever from the stuffy car. There was a small brick house with a big lawn filled with white fluff balls. There were six Samoyeds in…

scenarios involved eating pets: A family's dog was killed by a car in front of their home. They had heard that dog meat was delicious so they cut the dog's body up and ate it for dinner. Haidt then ask his subjects if it is okay for a person to eat their dead pet and to explain the logic behind their answer. When I pose this scenario to my university psychology students, nearly all of them conclude that it would be wrong for the family to eat their deceased dog. Most of them, however, cannot…
