I have
learned that communication comes in all shades and fashions. I have language is
the key and how we use it can be effective or ineffective. I know that communication
is very important, especially in the early childhood field. I love to watch ‘The
Have and the Have-nots, because you can read the characters just by watching
them. These characters use a lot of nonverbal communication. I see a lot of
them using the channel discrepancy by using the nonverbal unintentional
communication. The characters show that they have some ethnocentrism
communication, because they are viewing other cultures in their own view and
basically labeling the ones that they think doesn’t fit in their world. I also
observed some intercultural communication challenges. While watching the show with
the volume on; I saw some frustrations, dominating, aggressiveness, uncertainty
and some multitasking in the communication area. I would like to let my
colleagues know that nonverbal language can be tricky. Being knowledgeable about
communication skills will enhance your learning. It will behoove my colleagues
to learn the different characteristics for communication.
I like this show as well, and it is true, that they use a lot of non verbal communications, by looking at their facial expressions gives the viewers a lot to think about what my happen next or what may have happen based on the actors.
ReplyDeleteHello Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you that nonverbal communication can be tricky, because actions and intension can really be missed. An action, gesture or act can have several meaning. To be an effective communicator one has to be able to understand non verbal cue properly and avoid making wrong assumption. In my exercise, I got the plot and relationships of some characters wrong when the sound was switched off.
Thanks,
Blessing
Hello Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteBy becoming more aware of nonverbal communication and understanding what it might mean, we can learn to read people more easily. Which you proved in your review of this show, you had a complete understanding of the characters and the messages they were trying to convey.
