Communicating Skills and Styles

For the first time I had a chance to look at Mob Wives because my friend told me that it was really good.

What do you think the characters’ relationships are based on the ways in which they are communicating?
Looking at the TV. I can tell their is something going on between the woman right off the back. Renee she seems nice but always seem to be crying and at times acts like she is really bad with the rolling of her neck and her loud talking from what I can make out. All the characters in this reality show look mean but they all are very verbal.

What are they feeling and expressing based on the nonverbal behavior you are observing? Some of the woman seem to be expressing anger by throwing up their hands, pointing their fingers in their so called friends faces, crying, and hurt that was shown on the show from what it look like the mob wife Renee had a party and her friends got into a big fight and ruined her party. She was made, crying, and even using bad language.

What assumptions did you make about the characters and plot based on the ways in which you interpreted the communication you observed? Looking at this program the woman are very loud, back stabbers, and even not so friendly towards one another. The woman do not know how to communicate very well because to much he say she say mess, no one really listening to one another and the only way they seem to get their poit across is by fighting one another or even word bashing each other.The woman in this show is very hostile.

Would your assumptions have been more correct if you had been watching a show you know well? No because some of the shows I watch they communicate by using their words not throwing punches, or even bashing one another and if they said something that hurt another person feelings the characters try to come back and apoloigize and figure out how they can communicate better.

In my experience in communication you have to be careful how you say things because people can precieve things the way they want to. Example If you are saying all the right things but your tone of voice and body language are saying something different your career progression will be stunted.
Consider this. when you meet soemone and they say 'hello' but do not smile and stand with head down and shoulders slouched - what is your initial response?
Now consider someone saying 'hello' smiling at you and standing up straight - what is your response?
They both said the same thing but their tone of voice and body languages were completely different. The person who was smiling and standing up straight will be received more openly than the other person. When I use to talk to my mom I use to stand slouched over. My mother would say to me stand up, smile, and let me see your eyes to let me know you are listening to me. I was almost like I was disrespecting her not looking at her the same applies with families, children, and even co-workers.
