Short Essay
Physical Language
Topic:
D. "We are unaware that we are communicating in many different ways even when we are not speaking... we are rarely taught about this non-verbal form of communicatrion in the school... we informally learn how to use gestures, glances, slight changes in tone of voice, ... to alter or emphasize what we say and do... we learn these culture-bound techniques largely by observing and imitating them"
There are
many ways of communicating, apart from speaking. There are other languages,
such as gestures, glances, and other non-verbal languages. And all this
languages, including verbal and non-verbal, are learned by us by imitating
others.
First of
all, there are the gestures. When we say something, we also make some gestures
that can add information about what we are saying or make emphasis in our
feelings. For example, when we tell a history to a friend, the gestures that we
make give him or her more details about what we felt in that moment, if we were
sad about the thing that happened, or if we were happy or other feeling. We
learn these gestures by imitating firstly our parents, and then imitating other
persons.
Also, there
is the sign language. This language also add more information to the message
that we are giving and make the message more easily to be understood, because
it helps us to create an image about what the person is saying.
Summarizing all,
there is not only the verbal language, there is also physical language. All the
languages that we have are learned by imitating other persons, more
specifically, our parents and family.
