Using the communication process as an organizing framework

Reference no: EM13452244

Using the communication process as an organizing framework for our class, we have discussed "self" as communicator and listening. This week we will be emphasizing the message -both verbal and nonverbal. Nonverbal messages include all elements that are not linguistic/language based. The field of communication refers to different types of nonverbal messages as "codes," for example: facial expression, haptics, proxemics, chronemics, kinesics, etc. These codes are controlled by social norms, or social rules and expectations about appropriateness.

Today, you are going to experience the interplay of nonverbals and social norms.

Requirements:

Choose a specific nonverbal code from the types listed in our text (don't use the proxemic example below, choose another code.)
Determine what rules/norms exist regarding this code (these are often unwritten).
Choose several locations-on campus, at home, at work etc.
Break the social norm/rule in these locations/contexts.
Observe/reflect on the reactions to this behavior-your own and that of others.
Post a thorough response to this assignment detailing your experiences and reflections.
