A. After watching the video "Dove Real Beauty Sketches", comment on the nonverbal differences in the sketches. What do you think the reason for the different nonverbal perspectives of strangers versus the interviewees were based on?
B. After months of shifting our habits and interactions with others in the pandemic, do you think any of the proxemic distances (Intimate, Personal, Social and Public) will change permanently? Why or why not?
C. If you are getting out these days go on a walk or to the local grocery store. Observe the nonverbal expressions of another person or small group. Be sure to keep your distance. I have a no stalking rule! ;0) If you are still sheltered in place, Zoom call a friend or family member.
