The first code I was drawn to was that of number 1. This says that, “our nonverbal communication affects the quality of our relationships.” In any relationship what we don’t say, or what our body language may suggests tells a story. How we intereact with a group of people tells a lot about our roile in the group. If you love working with person “A” and always get shy around person “C” you could suggest that maybe you like “C” and “A” is someone you can be good friends with.
Another code I enjoyed was the 6th code that says, “The things we notice lead to interpretation and assignment of meaning.” I really like this one because it is something I truly believe in. Our actions give meaning to what it is we don’t say. By our body language, facial expression we can say a million things without speaking a word. Sometimes this can have both a positive and negative effect on our communication because we may think someone’s actions suggest one thing when they really could interpret a whole different story.
Hey....I really liked your post because I could completely agree with what you wrote. I especially like what you wrote about the first nonverbal principle because it is so true. How you act around certain people really does affect your relationship. Like you wrote if your really shy around a person it can come off that you like that person but it can also affect how much that person knows about you. The same goes if around another person you are really talkative and energetic. I can completely relate to what you wrote because how I act around certain people really depends on what our relationship is like. Good Job on your post I enjoyed reading it. =)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and agreed on how important both nonverbal communications is and how important the things we notice are and how they lead to our interpretations. Nonverbal communication can be a great asset or a great hindrance when dealing with someone face to face, the wrong signal or gesture can leave many feeling alienated and no longer focusing on the point you have to make but instead on your body language which is turning them off. The things we notice are of great importance and it is important to take in observations, however it is equally important to realize that our observations lead to the formation of our interpretations on the matter.
