week 2 discuss

“Non-verbal Communication.”   Please respond to the following:  

One  of the problems with non-verbal language is that it is difficult to  interpret. You are giving a presentation to your associates at work (or  classmates in class) and you observe the following non-verbal behavior  in your audience members.    

• 
  
  • One associate/student is writing the entire time you are talking.      
  • One associate/student is smiling although you are talking about a serious issue.      
  • One associate/student has his/her eyes closed.     
  • 
    
• Discuss  three possible interpretations of each non-verbal behavior and analyze  how each interpretation would influence the speaker’s evaluation of  audience feedback/change.
