Non-Verbal Cues- Week 2 Assignment

The television show that I decided to watch was House. I normally do not watch this show because it has definitely made a dramatic change in the last few years. One additional thing is that the characters have change as well as their job titles. It was refreshing to watch the show without the sound however I did get lost due to the fact that I couldn’t hear anything. The beginning of the show started with a serious yet fast pace scene that resulted in a child falling out during a soccer game. While watching the show without sound. I noticed that the characters seem to fight and argue a lot while saving people’s lives. This was very obvious even without sound. I also felt that the lead character in the show really had feelings for his co-worker due to the fact that he walked differently and acted differently around her.

After about 30 minutes I decided to turn on the sound and begin to watch the show with sound. I noticed that the people were discussing the problems and issues of the clients. I feel that the characters had a funny way of showing their appreciation and love for the other people on the show. I feel that the nonverbal ways that the characters acted gave a sense of unity and friendship.

I feel that this activity gave me insight into the ways that people communicate without using verbal cues. I think that many people need to try this activity in any form. It will give people an insight into the ways that people act without speaking.
