‘Communication is the process of sharing information, thoughts and feelings between people through speaking, writing or body language’, Brown (2014). Some people might not be aware of all the non-verbal communication signals that they perform during a conversation with a work colleague or family member.

Emblems and gestures are decoded ‘into words or phrases’ DeVito (p121-122, 2012). Illustrators are very much part of our daily routine, by turning our head or body in the direct of whom we want to talk with.

A child watches they parents preparing breakfast, putting the bread into the toaster and in-between getting orange juice ready. We especially learn from this in primary school with our first book, looking at the stories and telling the teacher what is happening on the pages.

This will also become useful when coming to write coursework plans as I will already have a lot of the information at hand and won’t be having to try and remember information from lectures, instead I will have it all written down in a way that I understand and is useful to me. This is also useful as anything that I have taken away from a lecture I can read into more in-depth at home or research anything that I didn’t understand and re-write in a way that I will understand for future reference. This also backs up my read/write learning style. I can use diagrams and pictures where applicable to demonstrate/understand information, not study or read for long periods of time, use study material that uses all my sense i.e. videos, diagrams, field visits, lab work, speaking to lecturers about coursework with my first draft and seeing all feedback as being positive. This will help me to learn by not just sitting and reading in lots of information, it is a much more practical way of learning which links back into my kinesthetic learning preference and backs up the learning style theory of a kinesthetic learner (VARK, 2015).

Within different cultures, members follow a set of strict rules that must be carried out properly when interacting with one another although they are not aware of these unspoken rules. One can become more aware of these actions when he steps out of the procedures set by his culture and behave opposite of what is expected in his culture. The act of behaving in an unexpected manner that is opposite of the norm to elicit a response is known as “Garfinkeling”, named after Harold Garfinkel (Agar, 1994, p.169). By Garfinkeling, I was able to demonstrate how eye contact and the lack of it can disrupt the sign that it carries of paying attention and also interrupt the symbolic system that takes place when asking for assistance. When Michael Agar (1994) speaks of a “sign”, he explains that it is made up of two parts, the “signifier” and the “signified”.

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s iconic novel, The Scarlet Letter, is not only a blunt critique of Puritan society but also something of a transcendentalist manifesto. An avid proponent of the American transcendentalist movement during the 1800’s, Hawthorne used his writing to disseminate this ideology to the general public. Transcendentalism was an artistic and philosophic ideology that placed emphasis on the individual and was critical of social conformity. As a result, transcendentalists denounced organized and institutionalized religion because they thought individuals ought to create and follow their own moral compass rather than submitting themselves to others’ interpretations of the divine. Owing to this aspect of the philosophy most transcendentalists

Allan Pease (1995:9)????? is of the opinion that Charles Darwin’s book “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals” (1872) may be the most significant work of the last centuries. It tends to be considered a pioneer work in the field of non-verbal communication studies and it inspired many modern scientists to the further research in that sphere. As a consequence, it leaded to the observation and analyzes of a great number of non-verbal expressions. One of the researchers, Albert Mehrabian, discovered that the verbal means are of much less importance in the process of conveying a message than the vocal or non-verbal ones . He put forward the claim that “the total impact of a message is about 7 per cent verbal (words) and 38 per cent vocal including tone of voice, inflection and other sounds) and 55 per cent non-verbal ” (Mehrabian, 1974 in Pease, 1995:9).
