Nonverbal And Verbal Communication
Nonverbal and Verbal Communication Nikia Williams HCA/230 Melissa Yarbro
There are so many different ways to communicate in the world. You can communicate through body language, sign language, signals, technology, verbally, and etc. When communicating, you have to be clear and concise so that the receiver, listener, or audience can understand what is being conveyed. Being clear when communicating will prevent errors and misunderstandings.
Principles of verbal and nonverbal communication There are so many principles of verbal and nonverbal communications that will help you to move toward effective communication. The first principle I would like to address is that the greater the cultural/linguistic differentiate between people, the greater the chance that there will be a failure of communication. The second principle suggests that when communication breakdowns occur during cross cultural encounters, the breakdowns are mostly attributed to cultural differences. The third principle emphasizes that communicating across cultures most of the time leads people to be more conscious about their own communication. The fourth principle states that cultures vary with respect to the number and kind of “do and don’ts “that are required of its members. The fifth principle urges you to keep in mind that learning about the norms and variation in communication styles of a particular cultural group helps increase your understanding of that group. Last but not least the sixth principle implies that if you see others as friendly, cooperative, and trustworthy, barriers will be more easily overcome. I believe that all of these principles are skills that everyone should know. The
