Nonverbal Communication Application
Emotions & Facial Expressions
Your first nonverbal communication essay is designed to increase your understanding of the role our facial and eye expressions play in expressing emotions. For this assignment, you'll need to read Chapters 4 and 5 and watch the following YouTube clips:
1. https://youtu.be/-PFqzYoKkCc
2. https://youtu.be/lISfh-Ip-qA?list=PLkenMycjjjdbaeJj4EW6dqO3LIbPIfGPP
3. https://youtu.be/NweeK_R_qR0
These clips discuss emotions and facial expressions, particularly the work of Paul Ekman. The videos discuss whether emotions are universal, if emotions are the result of nature vs. nurture, and how to interpret facial expressions. The videos also discuss how nonverbal communication is the primary conveyor of our emotions.
To complete this assignment, you should write a 2 - 3 page essay addressing the questions below. You will be evaluated on your understanding of course material, your reasoning and synthesis of ideas, and your writing style including grammar and mechanics. All writing assignments should be double-spaced with 1" margins and 12-point font.
