Cultivating Styles

The four types of body rhetoric are embodied argumentation, street theatre, rhetorical style, and the vibe as bodily emanation. All of these components amplify the way we communicate and embrace one another face to face through interpersonal communication. Although each body of rhetoric has its own function, rhetorical style, in its unique way  describes the overall look and feel of communicative gestures. There are three types of body argumentation which include body, your message, and your audience. For instance, speakers use their bodies to further communicate their messages while adapting to the wants, needs, and expectations of the audience. Because we are all different and express ourselves either culturally or based on sexual orientation, we all have different ways of cultivating styles of body language. Five steps to cultivating style are observation, reflection, application, chance, and experimentation.

Individual body argument can be used to express a singular emotion while collective can be used to express many emotions non verbally.

    I thought your post was really good. You made some good points. I liked your example of how speakers use their bodies to further communicate their message out to others.

  2. I enjoyed reading your post and thought you made a great point on the way we all have different ways of cultivating styles of body language. I was also a little curious to see if you have or do represent a form of individual or collective body argumentation.
