“Communication is the process of sharing information, ideas and knowledge between people” (Cenere, Gill, Lawson & Lewis 2015, p.51).It has always been a major factor in delivering information. However, in the twenty-first century, the way we communicate has been changed. In this fast paced world the technology has grown more dominant.The gadgets and gizmos which we used are more users friendly and forward. People started using it as technology has made the world a smaller place to live. It has…

We often take the little things for granted when we communicate. Body language in verbal communication, kerning in written communication, and composition in artistic expression. These missed queues aren’t typically a deathblow to the message being communicated. Instead, it’s rather rare that these errors are obvious to an untrained eye unless they point out something painfully obvious, such as bad kerning turning “click” into “click.” In a recent visit to the Florence County Museum, the…

I had passion about what I was talking about and actually enjoyed it. Another aspect I did well on was eye contact. I looked at every person in the audience making them feel like I was talking to them individually. Finally, I used several gestures. Using gestures while talking is very uncomfortable to me. I like to talk with my hands in my pockets. However, in this speech I did a much better job talking with my hands than in any other of my speeches. WEAKNESSES Just like how I had plenty of…

isolated in her own world, unable to communicate with others; it’s possible she lost her sight and hearing as a result of an acute congestion. She’s “quite unkempt, attractive but noticeably blind, with one eye larger and protruding” whereas her gestures are abrupt, incessant and “lack human restraint.” Captain Arthur and Kate Keller are unable to differentiate compassion from love, indulging in each of their child’s desires. Annie Sullivan, the opposite of the desired dessicated spinster,…

tom because of the gestures she showed her, like for their wedding Tom gave her “a string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars” (76). This was a grand gesture and Daisy thought it was love, but she was wrong. Love isn’t about how much you can give someone; it’s about how many feelings you have for someone. Daisy was also upset it the dance because at the party a guy kissed a girl and “it wasn’t a gesture but an emotion” (107). Everything that wasn’t a gesture was…

I chose a sermon by Joyce Meyer on Peace and Patience; I truly enjoyed her sermon. Joyce Meyer had good eye contact with her audience, introduced the topic clearly, had wonderful gestures, posture, and movement. Her voice was the right tone, and her clothing was stylish yet comfortable. She spoke openly about how she was in a hostile environment growing up that promoted anger. But the Holy Spirit wanted to teach her audience a new way to live. She explained how we should not focus on competing…

and others, did not only have the opportunity to enjoy their evening but also deepens their knowledge on theater and acting. While the plot and character development remain important for maintaining the audiences’ interests, the study of posture/gesture, staging/movement, objective/tactics, and emotional/sensorial truths are, as well, significant. In this paper, I chose to examine four specific plays and connect each to one of the aforementioned elements of acting, where appropriate. The crux…

Gestures: Kali will expressively identify the meaning of 6 gestures (i.e. shift feet; look at watch; roll eyes, etc.), provided the instruction “What does this mean?” and a demonstration of the gesture, free of prompting in an instructional setting, with 80% accuracy in the opportunities…

in her speaking to get the listeners’ attention and help them understand exactly what she is trying to get across. These three styles create a compelling argument due to her usage of word choice and body gestures to strengthen her emotional appeal. Palmer engages her audience through gestures. She opens her talk, standing on a crate while moving a piece of fabric around with a flower in her hand. This gets people thinking, “What is she doing?”, so they automatically feel curious in what she…

Floyd defines nonverbal communication “as behaviors and characteristics that convey meaning without the use of words” (2011, p. 179). Some examples of nonverbal communication include facial expressions, body language, gestures, tone of voice, and the way people carry themselves. We are constantly taking note of nonverbal behaviors when we are talking to people. The nonverbal messages that people send out actual help us determine what they mean in their verbal message.…
