The book I chose to read was a nonfiction book titled Cut by Patricia McCormick, published by Scholastic in October 2000. Patricia McCormick tells about a young 15 year old girl named Callie. Callie dealt with personal problems that included her brother’s deadly asthma, her parents, who were growing farther apart each day, and then to top it all off she cut herself. She knew not to cut too deep and not cut more than one or two lines per arm, what she was dealing with was “reasons” for cutting. She had no idea why she cut herself until she was sent to a mental health hospital by the name of Sea Pines.
The six determinates of culture include: religion, political philosophy, economic philosophy, education, language, and social structure. In the movie, Crash, Christine Thayer (played by actress Thandie Newton) plays the wife of a successful television director who is also Buddhist. Being a beautiful, light skinned, black woman whose black husband is well off puts her in a specific social structure that is of higher class than the average black woman living in Los Angeles.

She has always lived a wealthy lifestyle and this resulted in her being strong willed and independent.

Interpersonal communication is the exchange of verbal and nonverbal signals between people who build relationships, share meanings, and accomplish social goals. In the movie, "The Proposal," Sandra Bullock is cast as Margaret Tate, an assertive woman who believes that "the real education is your attitude and behavior with others. It defines your whole personality, no matter how qualified you are. When Margaret learned that she was about to be deported back to Canada because she had broken the restrictions of her work visa, she convinced Andrew, her assistant, to marry her so that she could maintain her visa status in the U.S. and prevent being sent back to Canada. We can examine numerous ideas related to interpersonal communication as their
A key concept taught in class which attributes appropriate rationale to this advice is encoding. In the same example, Marie mentally decodes, “the act of assigning meaning to nonverbal symbols” (Duck, S., & McMahan, D. T., 2018), Rocky’s actions in order to derive a suspected cause for his behavior. Through encoding, however, Rocky can effectively blend nonverbal and verbal communication in order to permit [Marie] proper interpretation of what he orally states in comparison to the message his nonverbal signals may imply (Duck, S., & McMahan, D. T., 2018). Encoding is a pivotal skill to master in order to achieve effective communication strategies. This process further improves our relational communication due to the fact that it awards an individual(s) engaged in conversation with another [others] the knowledge and ability to appropriately distinguish the true intent behind one’s actions and behavior from the signals their nonverbal cues may misleadingly convey.
because he angered the gods. To circumcisers like Atanga, “cutting is a god” and the practice is missed because it used to represent a relationship with the gods based on “taking and giving, mutual attention, care, and accountability” (Hodžić 2016). The severing of this relationship which the ending of cutting causes, could have dire consequences, as demonstrated by Atanga’s story. Another main argument in this book is that although it is often presumed that anti-FGM NGOs lack cultural knowledge, they are actually quite knowledgeable and are instead refusing to translate “popular and official notions about health and harm” (Hodžić 2016).
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a novel about a nine-year-old boy named Oskar who is sent on a journey to solve a puzzle made by his late father. In the book, communication plays a large role in the understanding of the characters and the interactions between them. Many characters communicate both verbally and nonverbally throughout the entirety of the novel. However, these two forms of communication make it both harder and easier for characters in the novel to communicate with each other. Thomas Schell Sr., Oskar’s grandpa, Oskar, and Abby all communicate nonverbally throughout the book; Thomas Schell Sr. and Jr, Oskar’s grandma and Oskar’s mother all communicate verbally throughout the book.

Hemingway's “The Sun Also Rises” is tiered in 3 books, one erecting off the other. Throughout the book Jake Barnes, the main character, has a tendency to repeat his actions within his weekly encounters. In Book 3, Jake uses his repetitive nature to bring himself to the epiphany that he does not have the capacity to be with Brett. A cab ride with a prostitute from book 1, mirrored with the same body language and a different atmosphere from the cab ride in book 3, demonstrates one of the ways Jake learns with reoccurrence. In this analogous encounter, Jake comes to the bright realization that he has no desire to be with someone who he cannot handle.

In the movie Inside Out everything essentially takes place inside the mind of an eleven year old girl, Riley. Riley is guided by her emotions of joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust. These five core human emotions attempt to advise and navigate her through her everyday life.

Watching this movie helped me learn how effective the communication between the characters is, what advice I would give to Riley if I were put in a similar situation, and how this advice is rooted in nonverbal communication.
It is also known as nonverbal communication. This type of communication includes no words but gesture, body language, eye contact, posture or facial expressions. When we interact with others, we continuously exchange wordless signals. A considerable part of nonverbal communication is facial expressions as these indicate others about our feeling, attitudes, states of mind and relationships.
