She uses the example that when she talks about height her hand gesture would be to place it at the position to help show how tall or short it is. I believe that hand gesture is common in both our cultures because…

performance and expression. One of the components Meeta Pandit utilized during her performance was the use of her hands. Meeta Pandit appeared to use musical gestures with her hands to signify different ragas or tones. Meeta utilized her hands as a tala for signaling rhythms to the table player. Furthermore, Metta Pandit’s hand gestures to me were telling or guiding the audience through a story. Which has great…

handshakes from the traditional handshake that we are all familiar with, to the “fist bump”, to an informal handshake, and finally a handshake mixed with almost a “chest bump”. This video is important because it points out that not everybody expressed gestures in the same way, and just as we find this amusing, I’m sure that if we were studying Chinese or Japanese culture, we would find some of their customs different from ours, but this should be respected. Like they say, “when in Rome”……

Later, when the mom finished listening to her son, she watched her daughter run and gave her a thumbs-up sign, another emblem. The most common nonverbal communication gestures I noticed were various affect displays. Because everyone does these automatically, most people don’t realize when they are doing them. Another type of gesture that was easy to identify were illustrators. This type of nonverbal communication technique varies in use depending on a person’s culture. Like affect displays,…

Going into this class I didn’t know what to expect. With it being called “Introduction To Counseling” I generally assumed that’s what it would be. I didn’t put that much thought into what we were going to learn about, but believe me; I am delighted I was given the opportunity to take this course. From professional ethics, attending behaviors, observation, encouraging, confrontation, and reflecting, I was given the chance to learn these skills that will help me in my professional life. Throughout…

gestural detail. All four of those detailed gestures listed above are what I will refer to as the ‘Target Gestures’ throughout the rest of the paper. They are the ones I had anticipated would be carried out in the re-tellings of my story. Purposefully, I sought to incorporate each type of gestures in the Semiotic Trichotomy as explained in class: Iconic (gestures 1, 3), Indexical (gesture 2), and Symbolic (gesture 4). This way, I could test which type pf gesture was used more by my participants,…

Women complain that men do not listen or are unsupportive because of their lack of body language that shows they listen. Women are used to talking to their friends using eye contact or supportive gestures showing the person sharing that they are listening. Men on the other hand also get frustrated from women. “Men expect silent attention interpret a stream of listener noise as overreaction or impatience,” and that is what women do the majority of…

"The courtship of Benedick and Beatrice has a beautiful observed reality, a poise and maturity, a refreshing humour which makes the operatic main plot seem absurdly unreal." It is clear that Beatrice and Benedick are in love from the first we see of them; it is not simply through the Prince's intervention that the seeds of love are sown between them.
