these with some work. The one problem with my first speech was that I had no clear organizational structure. In the comments on my grade, it said that it felt like I was just listing random facts, and this was somewhat confusing or not interesting to the listener. In fact, this unorganized speech was a result of not knowing my topic very well, which is something I might have been able to improve upon if I had spent more time preparing and learning more about my classmate. However, as it was, my…

cues that people have. Being aware you one’s own tells is important because you have to learn to control them. When you’re a kid all you have to do is stomp your feet, slam the bedroom door, or even roll your eyes to express your anger or frustration. Unfortunately, as you get older and become an adult those methods are less than socially acceptable. When you deal with an employer or colleague it would not be appropriate to roll your eyes at them when they upset or irritate you. Angry My…

The role of facial expressions in human communications is truly incredible. With the recent studies, it is clear that this non-verbal contact has a very significant influence in expression of pain.

The two hands can represent balance between good and evil, authority and power, or a plethora of other themes. In the play, Macbeth, Shakespeare often uses this motif of hands to enhance the clarity of one of his overarching messages. At first impression, Macbeth seems to be a loyal and righteous character, however the coercing…

gym. Most people in these settings are either wearing headphones or have tuned out their surroundings. The most commonly used gesture I observed in the gym is the emblem. I noticed many occurrences of this specific style of non-verbal communication. But one case, in particular, a guy (guy #1) wearing headphones who had been using a set of dumbbells set them down beside himself as he continued to work out on other areas…
