Prompt: The Secrets of Body Language

By Wednesday, please respond to one of the following two prompts in regards to the article we read in class:

1.  The author states people communicate a lot of information through nonverbal
cues, cues that are often described as unconscious phenomena.  However, some people say, “improve your body language if you want to improve your social life and relationships.” They believe that in order to obtain your goals, you should consciously change your body language to suit certain situations, no matter how you truly feel.  Do you agree or disagree? Please give reasons and examples to support your opinion.

2.  Identify a common gesture or body expression in your culture. In what ways is it different or similar to body language typical to another culture? Compare and contrast the differences between one aspect of body language in your culture and American culture, using examples and personal experiences.
