E. REFLECTION
1. What types of non-verbal communication do you believe
apply universally across the world? Do elements such as
smiling, eye contact, proximity, facial expressions, and other
forms of non-verbal communication serve similar functions
across different cultures?
2. Is it reasonable for someone to judge others based solely on
their attitudes and behaviors? Or should judgments be based
on the cultural norms embraced by the individuals? Do you
agree? Provide reasons for your agreement or disagreement.
3. Explain how someone can experience misunderstandings
related to differences in non-verbal language from their own
culture. Have you ever encountered such a situation? If yes,
share when and in what circumstances it happened, and how
you responded.
