Nonverbal communication strategies applied for the following situations:

1. You want to impress a group of friends about your expertise in basketball. In this case, I would imitate the movements by means of gestures and mimes so as to demonstrate my knowledge about this sport.

2. You want to control a conversation in a classroom or club group discussion. In this situation, I would try to make eye contact with the participants, to make gestures (nodding or shaking the head ) or facial expressions (smiling or frowning) so as to approve or disapprove a point for discussion. In addition, I would use my hands to point at someone, to control the talking time or to establish turn takings.

3. You want to persuade a brother to loan you his portable CD player. I would persuade him by joining my hands as praying (posture), making eye contact with him while pointing to the CD player and producing facial expressions as being sad and needy.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
