...Demonstrative Communication Nicole Smith BCOM/275 May 14, 2012 Louise Stelma Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative communication Communication can be described in many different ways and mean many things. Communication is the process of transmitting, relaying, or sending and receiving messages. The communication process conveys thoughts, ideas, data, and messages either thru speech, writing, body singles, behavior, or kinesics (Cheesebro, Rios, & O'Connor, 2010). Communication can be transmitted verbally and non-verbally. Verbal communication combines written and oral communication while nonverbal communications is express thru body language, facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures. The key to effective communication is the shared understanding of the information between the receiver and sender. It involves the shared understanding of thoughts, feelings, wants needs, and the intentions of the communicators, which may not be openly expressed with words (Cheesebro, Rios, & O'Connor, 2010). The communication process is completed when the receiver understands the message being sent by the sender. This paper will deliberate demonstrative communication, a style of communication that deals with nonverbal and unwritten communication. This paper will discuss how demonstrative communication can be positive and negative, effective and ineffective, and how it is mutually for the sender and receiver.

...The Nonverbal World of Communication John Clancy Jr. BCOM/275 06/02/2014 Tania Say “You'll have your looks, your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!” - Ursula The Little Mermaid Nonverbal communication surrounds us every day, it is present if we are encountering people or if we are standing in a room alone. When we get home from a long day and our dog is there to greet us with his wagging tail, or when you tell your kids its time for bed and you are met with the enormous sound of rolling eyes. When it comes to nonverbal communication sometimes we might not even realize we are sending a nonverbal message. Nonverbal communication can include tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. It is through these measures that we can communicate more than any word in the dictionary can provide. When communication a message a sender can use forms of nonverbal communication to enhance the verbal message. The problem with nonverbal communication is just like verbal communication it has to be interpreted, and the nonverbal communication being sent may not be a direct reflection on the verbal conversation or may be something involuntary that the sender does not even know is being received by the receiver. This can have a negative impact on both the sender and the receiver. The sender is affected negatively because his message is not clearly received and the receiver is affected negatively by not getting the...

...Nonverbal Communication In The Workplace Edward G. Wertheim, Ph.D. says “People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in interpersonal situations” (Wertheim P. 1). Even though we are all capable of communicating, not everyone is an effective communicator. The ability to communicate effectively is essential in the workplace. I am going to focus on the importance of becoming a more effective communicator in the workplace through nonverbal communication. Kory Floyd suggests that we often relay more information through nonverbal communication, than we do by using words alone (Floyd p. 211). Floyd suggests that since our nonverbal communication is going to convey the majority have what we intend to say it is important to understand what our nonverbal behavior is saying and it is also important to use how to use nonverbal communication to our advantage. Generally, when people hear the word nonverbal they think of hand gestures and facial expressions. However, there is much more to it than that. Edward G. Wertheim, Ph.D., explains that nonverbal communication consists of 4 parts: visual, tactile, vocal and use of time, space and image (p. 2). I am going to focus on the visual part of nonverbal communication. The clothing that we wear, our hair style, and the way we present ourselves in the workplace can have great influence over others’ perception of us. Depending on the nature of your business or line of work this can all vary in importance, for example: if...

Some examples of verbal communication are face to face meetings, faxes, emails, and virtual meetings. Some examples of nonverbal communication are tone of voice, physical appearance, and eye contact.

...Demonstrative Behavior It is said that communication is two thirds nonverbal and one third verbal; understanding of demonstrative communication can aid in the delivery and recipe of these messages. Delivery speed, use of hands, tone of voice, and eye contact are a few of the nonverbal elements that go into the delivery of a message. Knowing how to use these elements in the delivery can increase the effectiveness and importance of a message. On the other hand if the receiver is cannot translate the nonverbal message, the message will be viewed as unimportant or ineffective. To ensure messages are sent and received properly parties must be aware of all the elements of the message sent and received. The first type of demonstrative communication is chronemics, which is element of time (Cheesebro, 2010). Through the use of time the communicator can use the speed of their delivery to control the effectiveness of their message. A short, smooth, and slow message may communicate a message that is unimportant and does not show urgency. On the other hand a message that is rushed may translate the need for urgency or may communicate nervousness and a messenger that lacks confidence. Often times the receiver can use the time of the delivery paired with the space used in the delivery to aid in the translation of the message. Proxemics is the distance the sender uses when communicating their message (Cheesebro, 2010). This distance between messenger and receiver can indicate the...

...Nonverbal Behaviours Cultural Differences in International Business Negotiations Nonverbal Behaviours Cultural Differences in International Business Negotiations Globalization embraces the free-market system which is driven by policies to allow the integration of markets in the global economy. By reducing trade barriers, it has promoted free trade - encouraging competition to spread globally. As a consequence, the global environment of business has become exceedingly challenging as the number of corporations competing in the world marketplace rise. The unprecedented growth of international business has become increasingly dependent on effective face-to-face negotiations between business partners from different countries which often have unique cultural nuances. Culture influences how people think, communicate and behave, which ultimately affects the way they negotiate. For example, many countries which utilize northern European, German, English, and Scandinavian languages are categorized as low context cultures, and rely on spoken words in order to communicate. Conversely, high context cultures, often pertaining to Asian and Arabic languages, are heavily dependent on nonverbal and situational cues. These differences in culture can lead to misunderstandings during international business negotiations, so it is imperative that all members involved are familiar and sensitive to the culture of the other party. A key component of successful international negotiation is...

...thinking of communication, but one very intriguing aspect of communication is usually overlooked, Nonverbal communication (NVC). NVC can be defined as “the transfer and exchange of messages in any and all modalities that do not involve words” (Matsumoto, Frank, & Hwang, 2013, p. 4). NVC is all around us, and more often than not so subtle it is not even noticed. Studies have shown, NVC carries between 63 and 95 percent more impact than spoken words (Anonymous, 2013). It could be the wrinkle of a nose or a smirk. Learning how to interpret NVC can be an invaluable skill. Humans are programmed to communicate through voice, but knowing how to interpret NVC signals also cues one in to what is being said without words. Learning how to interpret the signals given off by others helps to understand the signals our own bodies are putting out, as much as possible of course. There are NVC signals that involuntarily, or subconsciously, are sent out. Some examples are eye movement during a face-to-face interaction, the jewelry one wears, or the natural odor one carries; all of which are considered being involuntary. NVC is not normally universal; it can vary from place to place, or culture to culture. Nonverbal communication is based on the fact that communication itself can take place without the use of words, and not only can it take place but it can also be very effective. According to Ekman & Friesen, there are six ways in which verbal and nonverbal communications are related...

...business. For an organization to have what they consider as quality communication practices, technology and mission objectives must be clear and effective. No one could imagine a sales representative for an organization to be efficient if that individual still used a pager as a communication tool. Location and market share also are determining factors when companies consider the technology used within their business so the company can communicate among themselves and their customers. Clear, the corporation I work for provides the country with mobile wireless broadband Internet to give people the ability to send and receive data “on the go.” To communicate effectively in my business, verbal and nonverbal communication techniques are practiced and applied daily. Face-to-face communication can be accomplished as it always has, or can be conducted through the Internet using video communication services through companies like Skype and Google Voice with video chat. E-mail, text messaging, memos, faxes, and letters are nonverbal forms of communication. Analyzing a message means understanding the flow of how message is created, the intention of the message, how it is delivered to the recipient, who the receiver is, the feedback given, the environment in which the message is sent and received, and the distractions that create noise for misinterpretation. Three examples of communication that I experience daily are face-to-face meeting, voicemails received...

...Non-verbal communication (NVC) is the process of communicating through sending and receiving written messages and conveying messages through gestures. The quote, “Actions speak louder than words” clearly explains the meaning of nonverbal communication as well as tell us it's importance in our daily conversations. Nonverbal communication is the most important of all types of communications. It is divided into four basic types – physical, esthetic, symbolic and communication through signs. Physical - includes facial expressions, touch, smell, body movements, etc. Esthetic – includes conveying messages through painting, sculpture, dancing, etc. Symbolic – includes those involved in religion and maintaining status. Signs – includes both mechanical and physical. Our facial expressions are especially important in conveying emotions. One should pay attention to the multiple aspects of nonverbal communication and their relation with the verbal communication. In any interaction, one is likely to get simultaneous messages from a person's eyes, gestures, facial expressions, posture, use of space and touch. This would lead to misinterpretation of the conveyed/intended messages. Nonverbal messages are inherently ambiguous and could be multichanneled too. Hence, it is difficult to decode the nonverbal messages. Therefore, care is to be taken while interpreting nonverbal msesages and new and innovative ways to 'read' the same will have to be developed to prevent unnecessary...
