Demonstrative communication is defined as the sending and receiving of messages that include nonverbal and nonwritten communication. Many people are not aware of the way they convey with body language, tone of voice, gestures, personal appearance and the receivers are not aware of what they perceive and recognize from the communication as well. Nonverbal communication includes all those ways in which we communicate without words (Quintanilla & Wahl, 2014). The types of behavior included in nonverbal communication would be our walk, our posture, our posture, and our appearance. The clothes you wear, jewelry, glasses, and gestures such as shrugging your shoulders or shaking your head and facial expressions such as smiling or frowning are also included in nonverbal communication. Other functions of nonverbal communication include interpersonal attitudes, being skilled at observing and interpreting the nonverbal behavior of others in a profession. For example, you observe that at certain times of the day a particular department may be extremely busy and overwhelmed, noticing that a colleague interrupts this department during this period shows that this department does not voluntarily recognize this colleague's request, which could lead to forgetting the request . By approaching this particular department at a calm moment you can get your request recognized and completed without delay. Another function of nonverbal communication is personality, character, disposition, and temperament (Quintanilla & Wahl, 2014). Some work environments demonstrate certain traits of that person, such as a library where the librarians are quiet, restaurants where the waiters are outgoing and affable, and companies where the managers are more professional... middle of paper... n easily show the your dislike or disapproval of the material in question. Some people mask their expressions to fit the situation more appropriately. For example, you may have hard feelings about a project or promotion that wasn't in your favor, but to move forward with the project you mask your emotions and replace them with expressions more appropriate to the situation. Nonverbal communication is complementary when we communicate verbally. such as our facial expressions, hand gestures, posture, our physical appearance and the way we communicate when we touch another person. These actions amplify what we are communicating; this reinforces the value and importance of non-verbal communication. Works Cited Quintanilla, K., & Wahl, S. (2014).
