As discussed in the previous paragraphs, the smart contact lens will have many good effects on the community. For one, this new technology will help with health problems and deaths at a younger age. Not only is this new piece of technology going to help with serious health problems it will help with eyesight. Just think about it, helping with those two main things could more than likely help with car wrecks or any other accidents that happen. Being able to focus on what you are actually looking…
Nonverbal communication is communication through gestures, eye contact, touch, and facial expressions. Nonverbal communication provides us with hints to individual’s internal feelings. It’s important that the messages conveyed through both nonverbal and verbal communication are clear so that messages are expressed appropriately. For example, if you are angry then your facial expressions should match your tone of voice however, if you state your not angry (verbal communication) while you are…
Kham established his life and had kids who grew up in Iowa. Since they grew up in Iowa, they were taught Taidam and English in the house, and English in school. Their phonology is different from their father’s since they grew up in America (Baccam). Their Taidam speaking skills aren’t as developed as their fathers, but they can still understand a good majority of the Taidam language. Even though they can speak in sentences and are capable of holding conversations with relatives, they aren’t able…
For my first “rule breaking” exercise, I used my family to experiment with breaking the phonological rule of verbal communication. I purposefully mispronounced names of places and objects while conversing with my mother, father, and brother. Each time I mispronounced something I was met by one of two different responses: amusement or annoyance. At first, my family members were amused when I seemed ignorant to the correct pronunciation, but as I broke the phonological rule more and more they…
these challenges. I picked eye-contact, tone of voice, and facial expressions. I wanted to explain how I can changes these three challenges that I picked. When it comes down to eye-contact, tone of voice, and facial expressions I barely do not do that offend. I do not give eye-contact with other people if I know them but, if I do not know somebody and they are having a full conversation with me ill make eye-contact with them. Most people do not give eye-contact with people they know or even…
I will be writing my report based on the professors notes as well as my peer notes since the video-recording system is not cooperating with me. As this was my first official in class speech, it was not only very nerve racking but also very enlightening, especially now as I am able to reflect analytically. Preparation: In order to prepare for my speech I attended the speech lab for some help as well as some tips. I decided to do a speech on my mother and I chose those reasons to speak on her, as…
In this semester, I am taking the communication class. When we took the first in person class, we set up some goals. These goals were our motivations that promoted us to enhance the communicational ability, and these goals would be achieved or could not be finished. There was no doubt that achieving these goals was a complex process, because completing these goals means overcoming our shortcomings. Before I wrote my communication goals, I was entirely curious about if I would be able to change…
Verbal 2: “I just ate my breakfast, and I feel I’m ugly and fat.” The patient has the misperception about her body image. “Verbalizes that image of body as “fat” was misperception (Townsend, 2014, Pg270).” Nonverbal#2 breaks eye contact Eye Contact Breaking eye contact can reduce stress or signify that one feels uncomfortable (Townsend, Pg. 153, 270) Verbal 3: “You think you are fat and ugly, but in realistic you are not fat and ugly. What makes you think that way?” A student nurse gave…
Non-verbal Communication is one skill that I feel I need to improve upon. “Non-verbal communication is defined as messages expressed by non-linguistic means (Ronald B. Adler, 2014, p. 188).” I believe that this is a skill I need to improve upon because missing subtle bits of information used in non-verbal communication can affect the meaning behind it. I am going to look more into who, what, what, when, where, why and how non-verbal communication. Then looking at ways to improve using this skill…
about making the pay attention and care about it. Since I am engaged in a conversation with the audience, I can make eye contact and let myself have normal conversational body tone and movements. With memorization, you don’t have the flexibility since you are just giving it out from memory which is quite different from a conversation as it prevents from more direct eye contact and normal body movements. Even if you do understand what you are talking about, it coming from memorization will…
