Verbal and nonverbal behaviors

For this discussion, you are going to observe a conversation between two people and comment on both their verbal and nonverbal behaviors during the interaction.

First listen to either a conversation you observed outside of your home, such as at school, a grocery store, an elevator or on a bus. Do not make it obvious you are listening to their conversation, just casually observe. While you are observing, try to answer the following questions and report back about the conversation in your original post.

What do you think the relationship between the two people was?

What do you think they were discussing?
What nonverbal actions occurred in the interaction?

What paralanguage did you pick up on and how did it influence the conversation?
