Chapter 13 discusses the topic of nonverbal messages in special contexts. So, in considering
that information you studied, let’s propose the following situations. You are a consultant to a
vibrant, physically appealing presidential candidate, who is not a deep thinker and so is
unable to make good arguments for his or her platform. What would you do to get this person
elected? Now let’s reverse the situation. You are advising a person who is a deep thinker able
to make good arguments for his or her platform, but this person is not dynamic and is
physically unappealing. What do you do to get this person elected?
Thoroughly research and discuss the above two situations. This exercise will require outside
research. Please use a minimum of six (6) sources. One source can be your course textbook.
Be sure and cite all six (6) sources in your References list at the end of your Applications
Exercise assignment. References
