Dos Santos 1 Andre Dos Santos. Prof. Hernandez. SPC 1017. 27 March 2018. Nonverbal Essay.

Imagine having a conversation without moving your eyes, your arms , your body. Just using words in the same tone of voice. It would be weird and in a way confusing. We understand a message someone else is transmitting not only by the use of words but the way that person expresses, moving your hands to express happiness, opening your eyes expressing surprise or even rolling your eyes expressing anger or fatigue. These feelings are only visible because of the “nonverbal” communication. When I had some free time, I decided to go to Dadeland mall to do some shopping. When I was there I went to go the food court to get something to eat, being there I noticed that from a distance of 12 feet there was a couple, after a while the restaurant called the men to go look for the order and when he got to the table with his wife they started fighting, I believe they were in a relationship because they were sitting together, and both were wearing rings. From my perspective, I noticed the girl very furious when the men got to the table, she was crossing her arms maybe saying she was not going to eat that and she also put the plate away, maybe she didn't like something in the food, or the food in general his husband brought for her, as I can tell from what I saw, I am sure the fight started when the men got to the table with the food. On the other hand, I saw a very comprehensive attitude of the men since he was trying to make the girl speak quietly and with respect, or at least that is my impression, he was using his hands to calm her. The woman kept rolling her eyes and the man kept asking what was wrong and what else he could do to make things better. After she pointed out the food, I suppose he was going to bring

Dos Santos 2 her something else; At the end I was right due he went and changed it, after a while the men came again with a complete different plate, maybe she was allergic, or she had a trauma with some food, she smiled and gave a him a kiss. He looked a bit tired while he started to eat meanwhile I got to figure out why she was so picky. She stood up and a pregnant belly showed up, they were having a baby, so at that time everything made sense to me, it was like a movie, he hugged her and touched her belly with love. They looked like a happy couple waiting to be a family. In conclusion, doing this activity I realized how gestures can change the whole story, maybe another person wouldn't be able to see what I see, or maybe that person would see something completely different, also I found amazing how expressive some people can be without saying a word. Non-verbal communication is essential in our day to day interactions and I didn’t even noticed it before....
