Can Black People Get Japanese Eyes

The importance of a glance, a smile ...

... speaking of nonverbal communication so far I wanted to emphasize the importance of hands, but this is not the only means by which this form of communication is realized.
nonverbal communication in fact invests all our body ... Think of a look, a smile .
I think it's very interesting the study of proxemics (how to manage personal space, distance between the partners) or a posture, the Chinese (the study of gestures, their common feature is significant), or interpret the thousands of expressions and emotions that reveals the face (physiognomy).
Knowing all these aspects I believe are important when one relates with any person, big or small, and of any ethnicity.

What fascinates me most is that the "body not mind." Accompanying non-verbal communication, verbal communication, making it more dynamic and in some cases "revealing" what the speaker wants to hide. If words can be deceiving, what you can not tell at a glance. There are many messages that pass through non-verbal communication.
Important in this context to remember that it is impossible not to communicate (the first axiom of communication by Paul Watzlawick)
During communication I can ask what are non-verbal signals that allow me to discover the lies that a caller can hide. These lies can be seen from their faces "signal detector is the look ...

you ever understand what a person meant by a simple glance?
Surely this is possible if there is a form of empathy between interlocutors.

also non-verbal communication unites all humanity ...
I think it is a means of international communication that allows a minimum of dialogue between any generation, ethnicity and culture. How nice to see him at least in part that "different" ...
... never tire of SORRRIDERE: THAT YOUR SMILE, IF YOU WANT, YOU MAY OPEN THE WORLD ... "
... A smile does not last but a moment, but the memory is eternal ... "

Burning Sensations And Hair Loss

Hands like typewriters ...

Speaking of nonverbal communication (NVC) means to address the behavioral communication, communication. object, pictorial, gestural (ie the language of Lis I mentioned a few posts earlier), the finger spelling, speech and Braille method Malos.

The CNV field is very wide and varied. While in previous posts I wanted to include some basic-flash on the language used by deaf mute people in my speech I want to focus on two methods used between people who are blind or deaf blind.

I'm talking about the method of Braille and Malossi.

The Malossi method (proposed by the Neapolitan masters Artusio and Aurelio Colucci) enables deafblind people to communicate among themselves and with others through hand. This touch the letters in the image are shown in black and near slightly tweak the letters that appear in blue.


The hand of those who receive the message is regarded as a kind of typewriter.
Once again, this highlighted the importance of our hands ... Once again, everything leads us to think about: What do I do with my hands? (See post published on November 20)


Those who attended the communication by means of the method Malossi were impressed by the speed with which two deaf-blind people can communicate with each other.
E 'important otherwise there is agreement between the blind and the one that he uses the Malossi.

This method is generally used by people who have learned the reading and writing before becoming deafblind.

other form of communication between blind people and Braille : method of reading and writing used by blind people in fact, made up of raised dots correspond to the letters of the alphabet.

The symbols of Braille each consisting of six points are arranged three on the right and three on the left of a rectangular box. The difference between the characters is given by the arrangement and combination of the same points that constitute the individual letters. Reading Braille is usually done by the index of the right hand, followed by the left hand with the main tasks in the identification of guiding lines. The fingers that read must be kept in place and go soft touch of the letters in relief, without pressing on them, to grasp more clearly the composition.

Braille is perhaps the most famous communication system for the blind.

Personally I came to the attention of this particular form of communication many years ago because her aunt was doing a wonderful experience as an aide to a blind girl and on this occasion was able to learn this form of language. Remember that stressed the difficulty of being able to distinguish with certainty the various letters. As for deaf children who feel the vibrations, and through them we approach the music, dance, even blind people have a very strong sensitivity to touch.

Project Washoe ...

... Every time I try to make a step further to discover the world of the deaf and speech are amazed Lis ...

Did you know ... some scholars have tried to teach a copy female chimpanzee expressions American sign language (ASL, or American Sign Language) ?

I'm talking about Washoe, young chimpanzee who became able to communicate at some level, with human beings.
Washoe lived most of his life at the University of Nevada, where the experiments were conducted on the language that made it famous, was then transferred to 'University of Washington where he remained until his death, announced October 30, 2007. Washoe left many descendants, some of which, as the adopted daughter Loulis, passed on the knowledge of some of the gestures that had learned in life.

Two scholars' s University of Nevada (Allen and Beatrice Gardner) began a training program designed for learning by the monkey, some ASL signs. This program was called "Project Washoe."

The two scientists proceeded to teaching through operant conditioning techniques, encouraging the use of gestures in Washoe - similar to those of the ASL-to express requests (such as food, water) as well as concepts at a level obviously quite simple.

For example, the monkey was taught that the gesture "MORE" ("more", "anchor") to produce a greater quantity of what was given.

It was shown that once the gesture impadronitasi Washoe was able to apply it in different contexts, for which there had previously been educated. Similar processes were repeated over and over again, so that at the end of the experiment, it was reported as Washoe was able to use about 250 different signs. Why could actually be as known by Washoe, a certain sign was to be made across three different observers in different situations and in the absence of air conditioning (so had to be used spontaneously), and would be used appropriately in a context.

The results achieved by the Project Washoe ignited considerable debate as to their actual reliability and, more importantly, about their meaning. There was a wide front of students who put in prominence as that used by Washoe could not actually be called a "language", arguing that the chimpanzee rather respond to a pattern of stimuli with learned movements mechanically but not actually included. However, the moves by the Project Washoe took countless studies that attempted to replicate in other mammals such as dolphins, parrots.

"Goodbye Mr.Hollad": the difficulty of communicating between deaf and hearing impaired ...

... It 's very difficult Unfortunately, finding material relating to communication between deaf, but after much research I could find a movie. which appeared to me very interesting, which allows to analyze and discover the world of deaf people.

The film that I've been told to be very curious is " Mr. Holland's Opus", a film but not overtly dedicated to deafness awareness and realism that deals with the problems of a family that is upset by the birth of a child deaf and the difficulties of communication between deaf and hearing impaired.

This film is about the life of Glenn Holland, a musician and composer who begins to act as a teacher per guadagnarsi da vivere mentre nel tempo libero persegue il suo vero obiettivo: comporre una sinfonia che lo renderà famoso. Ma cosa ci può essere di più paradossale e inaspettato, nella vita di un musicista, che avere un figlio sordo?
Alcuni critici sostengono che "si apprezza maggiormente della pellicola la veridicità con la quale viene descritto il percorso di una famiglia con un bambino sordo: il primo impatto con lo specialista della medicina ufficiale che suggerisce la via oralista per favorire l'integrazione e il divieto esplicito ad assecondare i "gesti" del bambino. La sofferenza dei genitori nel non riuscire a comprendere la propria creatura. E quindi la via della lingua dei segni. Dapprima vista come un disperato tentativo, poi perseguita with tenacity and conviction, especially from her mother. "
The film manages to intrigue by comparing with skilful, the world of sounds with the world of the protagonist of his son's silence. These two worlds, that seems to never be able to meet, to the end of the film cross. when Glenn Holland will direct the institute at the concert for the deaf son a helping with lights and sign language. This incident put an end to misunderstandings and emotional communication between parent and child.
lyrics John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy", which Glenn will sing at the concert dedicated to his son, contains the verse " Life is what happens to us while we are committed to making other plans ", which is the summary of the film and is a metaphor for what happens to the protagonist: he believed that his destiny was to become famous composing symphonies and instead reaches its full realization without even realizing it, communicating the passion for music to his students.


any of you seen it? I'd love to, maybe because I was able to recover and watch the short, I can compare with you to hear your impressions ... ... ...
