Week#7 Discussion Question#1
Every day we encounter cases of nonverbal messages. As an example I deal with it on a daily basis at work. I am a personal banker so in order to find out more information from the customer so I can solve him /her issue I have to dig deep and sometimes to trick my customers into talking. Usually the nonverbal messages are wrong. They come into the bank about something and their body language, their looks tell me a different reason that they may be in the bank for. And it usually turns up to be the wrong message. I think nonverbal messages are unnecessary and they should never been taking into consideration. Sometimes I also tend give nonverbal messages, which are wrong. I am coming from a different culture, so my body language always even after 5 years that I have been in United States, will tell a different story. Will show me as a strong, nonsocial and full of attitude person, which is definitely not true. Nonverbal messages are usually unaquirate.

I think your right when you said we should base our perceptions off of body language and nonverbal language that we may think a person is conveying. Throughout reading the text and everyone's blogs, it has been clear that all of us have experience coming from another situation that may have taken a toll on us, which then gives off a particular vibe in the place we just arrived. Thus, it really is not our intentions to give the impression we do sometimes, unfortunately. On the other side of the coin, it’s hard to keep that in mind when we perceive another person's nonverbal messages. I know I would like to try and keep an open mind as much as I can.
