Chapter 6: Non-Verbal Communication

                     What is non-verbal communication? Nonverbal communication is communication without words including gestures, touch, raising your voice, even to the clothes you wear, how you smell, etc...
Non-verbal communication conveys more meaning than verbal communication.

1. Integrating Non-Verbal and Verbal Messages

            (i) Accent
                When someone warn you something very serious, that person will raise he/she voice to you. I
               think they will raise their voice to someone when they are getting mad in some situation. Such as,
               teacher and student.

            (ii) Complement
                 When frown you head when recounting someone's deceit  (to suggest your dispproval).
       
            (iii) Contradict
                   Sometimes, I thinks everyone may deliberately contradict your verbal messages with nonverbal                      movements.

             (iv) Regulate
                   I always purse my lips (almost everytimes) to indicate that I want to speak when I chat with                          family, friends and etc...
                       
             (v) Repeat
                  "What we want to eat today?", this question is totally happen after class. We just repeat asking                      this question many times approximately 30 minutes and hand gestures.

              (vi) Substitute
                    I believe we use nonverbal communication to substitute or take the place of verbal messages.
                    For example, "Understand ?", the lecturer asked, you can nod your head to substitute that you                       clear about the lecturer thought.    



2. Forming and Managing Impressions

Chapter 10: Small Group Communication

     Day: Wednesday

     Time: 5.00pm - 6.30pm

 I have some example in real life for this subtopic about ''Power in the Small Group". Power is something that you can control someone's behavior. There six types of power in all relationship.

 (i) Legitimate Power
     Legitimate power is power you derive from your formal position or office held in the organization hierarchy of authority. For example, the president of a corporation has certain powers because of the office he holds in the corporation. In facts, our parents are having legitimate power over their children. So,maybe will control them (sometimes). This power always comes from the leadership roles people occupy.

(ii) Referent Power
      You have this power in this small group when another person follow you. Due to that person is impressed with your attitude, capabilities and personality.

(iii) Reward Power
      by Positive Reinforcement.
      For example, I have reward power over my friends , if I have the ability to give my friends rewards.              (such as, i will photostat the notes or tutorial questions paper to my friends)

(iv) Coercive Power
      by Negative Reinforcement & Punishment
      This power is gotten through threatening others.
      For instance, if you get low marks in your exam, I going to confiscate your iPhone.

(v) Expert Power
     by Establishing yourself as the Expert in the Context.
     Someone will listen your instruction because you are expert in specific field
     For example, Lily are good in designing, so our assignment will follow her instruction when doing the              design part of the assignment.

(vi) Information Power
      by Establishing yourself as the person can Communicate and Inform the best.
      This type of power is normally referred to someone who can persuade others.
      For instance, politician have an idea to talk in front of people and at the same time, people can get                 influence by his/her speech.

Opinion:
In a small conclusion, I always be force or automatically be a leader in a small group (isn't I too responsibility???) . =="
This is one of the worse that I did in my life. T.T
Sorry, sir. I really can't finish the blog >.<
