Describe the way you use nonverbal communication in your surroundings at home and what this says about you and your family. Your description should include the following:

Artifacts
Environmental
Olfactics

In your initial post, tell us what is in your home and what it communicates about you and your family. Also include whether or not you think this accurately represents your personalities and lifestyle and what you would change to more accurately reflect you and your family. You can include a picture of a room in your home for clarity.

Sample Solution

The artifacts which I have in my home say a lot about me and my family. For example, there is an old typewriter in our living room which was passed down from generations before us and it serves as a reminder of our cultural heritage. We also have various family photos on the mantelpiece; these capture important milestones throughout our lives and show how far we’ve come together. Additionally, the bookshelves are full of books that demonstrate our appreciation for literature; they range from classic novels to modern science fiction stories.

The environmental aspect of nonverbal communication also speaks volumes about who I am and what I value as an individual. Our home is kept neat with minimal clutter and this shows that we are organized people who strive for order in our daily lives. The colors that we choose for each room also play an important role; warm earth tones create a sense of calmness while vibrant hues add energy to certain areas of the house (Sehgal et al., 2019).

Olfactics may be more subtle but they can still have a significant impact on how people view me and my family. Our kitchen always smells like freshly-made cupcakes or some other delectable treat baking away in the oven – this sends out the message that we love spending time in the kitchen experimenting with delicious recipes! Other fragrances such as eucalyptus oil provide aromatherapy benefits which help promote relaxation when winding down after a long day (Goble & Sachs, 2020).

Overall, I believe what you will find inside my home accurately reflects who my family is – creative individuals who cherish meaningful relationships and take great pleasure in life’s little moments. In terms of what changes I would make if possible, adding more natural elements such as plants or rocks could further enhance both the décor and vibe within each room even further.

Keeping with the theme of rationality, the authors of this article have taken a different approach, arguing that actor’s make rational choices when voting. The paper seeks to demonstrate that social preferences are dominant over selfish preferences when at the ballot, that there is a feedback mechanism in rational socially motivated voting which effectively stabilises reasonable voter turnout and that there is a link between the ‘rational social-utility model of voter turnout’ out and the results of socially motivated ‘vote choice’ studies.

 

 

The authors argue against the traditional rational-choice models which assume individuals act selfishly, instead arguing that the rationality assumption can be separated from the selfishness assumption thus revealing that voting can be a rational act and that agents vote according to the expected social consequences. Additionally, agents perceive voting as a potential contribution to the greater good. The result of this theory is that vote choice models should work with social rather than selfish utility functions. By separating social and selfish preferences, which have traditionally thought of as being linked, it becomes clear that voting in large populations is perfectly rational. This is evidenced by small-scale contributions to political campaigns, active participation in opinion polls, increased voter turnout in relation to size and anticipated closeness of an election which are seemingly irrational phenomena considering the scope and significance of a single vote.

Another proposition made by the authors is that agents decide who to vote for based on social consideration. This is evidenced by ‘un-loyal’ strategic voting, voting based on issues which have no direct significance to the voter, but perhaps most importantly on surveys of voter motivations. The findings of these surveys suggest that voters will often voter’s preferences are strongly aligned with their views of what would be most beneficial to the country, rather than their own situation. It can thus be argued that voters think in terms of group and national benefits.
