what a thorough breakdown of the show and ...Marla, <br />what a thorough breakdown of the show and situations. I have watched this show and the visual cues can be very deceiving like you mention. It would be difficult to pick up on a story line if you did not know the first plot or listened to what was happening with the "two kids bored" situation.

I appreciate how you broke down the nonverbal gestures into their function for communication. I have seen and enjoyed watching this TV show before so it was beneficial to read how an outsider picked up on the story line based on visual cues. My lesson was similar to yours, never make assumptions, thanks for sharing :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074375120439328789.post-48713399286032393912015-09-13T05:49:56.791-07:002015-09-13T05:49:56.791-07:00Marla, what a thorough breakdown of examples you o...Marla, what a thorough breakdown of examples you observed of nonverbal communication!

I have never watched that television show,...Marla,<br /><br />I have never watched that television show, which is quite popular, but you gave great details about the show. I like that you chose to use the pilot episode which means that the show was fresh and you had a fair shot at guessing who all of the characters were. You spoke about making assumptions from observing someone's behavior and I immediately thought about a friend of mine. My friend said that one morning a neighbor stopped him and stated that he noticed that my friend was wearing a suit every morning and leaving his house. He asked him how long was his court case going to be. The man was implying that my friend was a defendant in a pending court case. My friend replied by stating that he was not in court and that he was a music teacher at a school. The man apologized and just walked away. I thought that the man judged my friend based on stereotypes that he has seen in the media. I was like to tell my friends that you never know what someone is going through unless you have a personal discussion with them. Some people have learned to mask their emotions and smile through their pain. Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
