M04 : L2 Journal : Cultural Space Activity

Choose a cultural space that you are interested in learning more about. Visit the space you have chosen several times and observe how people behave and interact in the space.

First, define the space and explain how it constitutes a cultural space.

Then focus on one or two aspects of nonverbal communication (e.g. eye-contact, personal space, or physical appearance). Explain how the nonverbal behavior is demonstrated in the space and identify the nonverbal rules that govern behavior in the space.

Finally, answer the following. Can we generalize about nonverbal rules in cultural spaces? What factors influence whether an individual follows unspoken rules of behavior?

In 1 page answer the prompt from the Cultural Space Activity. Submit your assignment entering it into the text box or upload your document.

Be sure to support your explanation using key vocabulary, incorporation of key concepts and your own personal examples. Feel free to incorporate links, images, and other media to support your journal.
