Nonverbal Ambiguity

gestural messages can often be misunderstood. a lot this misapprehension is said to be socio-cultural. I remember an instance myself when I was in high school and a miscommunication happened between my friends and I. It was only so unfortunate that it happened in the course of passing our exams. Naturally, we knew we could increase our energy to pass if we worked as a team. champion of my classmates suggested that we come up with hand gestures that would deliver each of the four earns that well-nigh always appear in our evidence papers a, b, c, and d. Hence, it was agreed that the hand gestures would be used as a bill during our exam week.Our hand gestures comprised a knack of inconspicuous behaviors such as gain scratching of ones nose for the earn a, pinching lightly ones ears for letter b, wiping ones handkerchief to the face for letter c and ultimately, unfirm from one place to the other in ones seat for letter d. So during the exam week we started with a relish. History was our first exam and with our asshole we went through it like breeze.Naturally, physics universe the most challenging of all subjects was where I highly depended on my classmates the most. My best friend, who was academic term a row in introductory of me, was excellent at physics and I answered faithfully to the hand gestures he showed. Finally, moments were accustomed the following week and I was astound at the result of my physics turn up an F. I was shocked, since I was certain to get a B or A.So after the class, my friend and I had a little chitchat and it turned proscribed he wasnt feeling so well at the time, which must get to explained why he kept shifting from spatial relation to side. I thought his side shifting was an answer to the physics questions when they were a response from feeling uncomfortable during the time. The result of that misinterpretation was a failing grade. My bugger off of nonverbal ambiguity was nevertheless aboveboard for which t here was no any ruinous reaction however for people be to different cultures or backgrounds the implications for any misinterpretation maybe enormous.ReferencesMontshire Minute Non-Verbal ways of discourse . 8 June 1998. 29 June 2007 <http//www.montshire.org/minute/mm980608.html>.
