COM 200 Week 2 DQ 2 Nonverbal Miscommunication
(Ash)
Nonverbal Miscommunication Nonverbal
communication is one of the most powerful ways
that we communicate in our interpersonal
relationships. Sometimes, however, we may find
ourselves unintentionally communicating something
that we do not mean to. This tends to happen
quite often in intercultural communication
situations (when we are communicating across
different cultures). Provide an example of a time
when you nonverbally communicated something other
than what you meant. Or, use an example of when
someone else nonverbally communicated something
to you that was different than what they meant.
What happened in this situation? Be specific in
your example and also discuss what you will do in
the future to avoid this.
