Course: PIM: Tricky Communication: Intent vs. Impact > Section: Nonverbal Communication

This activity asks you to practice curiosity.

Follow the instructions and paste or upload your responses into the assignment.

Choose a gesture or an emoji (emojis represent body language to some degree) with which you are familiar.

1. What might it mean to most people from your home culture?
2. Research online if the gesture or emoji means the same thing in another culture.
3. If it does have the same meaning (or if you cannot find information), choose another gesture or emoji and repeat the process.
4. Once you have found one that differs in meaning between cultures, describe a non-verbal interaction using the gesture or emoji. What is your intent in using it? What is the (potential) impact?
