Communication


Communication Skills

 





     When I saw the Tv show ”God luck Charlie”, I understood
the program with the gestures that they did, when they laugh,
 and act. The different faces tell us what they want to

communicate.
  I think in communication the gestures, “express

spontaneous feelings."
and words come together. We need to observe and
listen to understand in a better way the things. “nonverbal
behavior often serves to clarify meaning by reinforcing verbal
 messages.”( O'Hair, D., Friedrich, G. W., & Dixon, L. D.
2011. Pag.131)



 

     The characters of the show express emotion when they

hug each other, or in their eyes communicate expressions

and feelings, love. When someone did
something  their facial expression show that they are
angry, surprise, fear,  and interest.

If I saw a show that I know well ,I think I understand the same
 because I need to pay attention to the different gestures,
faces. If I don’t have audio, I think I try to understand what
they are doing and how they want to communicate.

Sometimes with a smile ,we could know that something
positive is happen, we communicate with our body, actions,
gestures, facial expressions, eye behavior. ”we communicate
 with many tools other than language”( O'Hair, D., Friedrich,
 G. W., & Dixon, L. D. 2011.pag.128).

  1. Hi Maria,
    You made some good observations about that television show with the sound turned off. I watch that show with my daughter and they display great communication skills both verbally and nonverbally with each other.

  2. Thank you for the post. My niece loves this show and you are right on point. They use a lot of gestures. A person could in fact watch this show without sound and know just what is happening. There is a good level of communication on good luck Charlie.

    Thank you for your post!Your insightful ideas on the show, "Good Luck Charlie." has certainly helped us to understand how we need to pay closer attention to non-verbal communications as these can greatly assist us in understanding communications holistically. Thus observation and listening skills are key to effective communication. Great ideas that you have brought out!
