How do you dress? What does your hair/makeup look like? What is your posture? What non-verbal gestures do you use? What topics do you discuss? What topics do you avoid? en-us 2021-02-04 13:53:08 UTC 2026-02-17 18:23:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164431191 Avoid unsophisticated language and you wouldn't cuss. Dress professionally in nicer, probably more expensive clothing. Your hair is probably done/brushed and make up would vary from person to person, but most women would probably wear it. You probably use hand gestures and smile a lot when talking, as well as eye contact. You would discuss work, appropriate stories maybe, school. You would avoid social life topics probably. ]]> 2021-02-04 15:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164431191 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164432180 In this setting, we try to use more professional language and try to avoid using any slang. We dress in "business casual" attire for meetings or interviews, as you want to make the best impression. Hair and makeup is usually subtle, professional, and neat. For the non-verbal aspect, you would want to come off friendly, an try to smile as much as possible. In this setting, you'd only discuss things related to work or the current setting you're in.]]> 2021-02-04 15:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164432180 aktaylo4 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164432504 Wearing formal attire, non revealing clothes. Made up of neutral colors and simple patterns. Use respectful language and stay away from slang. More reserved and best posture possible. Might shake hands when meeting someone and maintaining eye contact. More strict tones and less relaxed conversation. Discuss topics related to the professional setting and basic conversation(small talk). Don't mention anything too personal.]]> 2021-02-04 15:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164432504 corchar https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164435455 There is a certain dress code, even extending to makeup. The mannerism are also quite formal. The language is also quite formal, including not using contractions. Topics stay more set around the happenings of the office or classroom, not becoming so personal.]]> 2021-02-04 15:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164435455 tjjohn22 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164442069 Formal speech is usually a must and vulgar language is obsolete. The dress code depends on the employer, whether it be a uniform or business attire. ]]> 2021-02-04 15:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164442069 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164445566 Unfiltered language, probably anything goes. Doesn't really matter what you wear, you can be more casual. Hair and make up don't matter, looks like it does everyday. Posture doesn't matter. Non verbal gestures don't matter as much, you could roll your eyes at your friend. You could discuss pretty much anything. Maybe avoid topics that you know would bother your friend but otherwise none. ]]> 2021-02-04 15:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164445566 corchar https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164448388 The dress code changes based on the settings. You might feel more comfortable talking to your friends and therefore will use more slang or gestures when speaking. It is a much more relaxed environment than that of a professional setting.]]> 2021-02-04 15:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164448388 aktaylo4 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164449075 A lot more relaxed, wear comfortable clothing and speak what comes to mind. Non-verbal gestures could be hugging your friends. Stress-free environments and no posture requirements. Talk about interests, jokes, serious topics or whatever you guys want. Might avoid some topics depending how close you are were the friend.]]> 2021-02-04 15:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164449075 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164453218 With friends, you don't have to sensor yourself. You can speak, dress, and act however you want usually without fear of judgement. When you're with friends, you may use different language and mannerisms than you do around your friends.]]> 2021-02-04 15:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164453218 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164458944 It will depend on the person, but we would say most people keep it "PG". Don't post underage drinking or cuss words or pictures you wouldn't want an employer one day seeing. Most people like to post in cuter outfits with make up and hair done. Posture probably doesn't really matter. Most topics can be discussed on social media. Some people may avoid 'political' things. ]]> 2021-02-04 15:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164458944 corchar https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164459928 It depends on what social media you are on. For example, Snapchat is quite relaxed and fun while Instagram is more modelled and Facebook is quite formal.]]> 2021-02-04 15:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164459928 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164463810 With friends, you don't need to filter yourself and you don't really have to think about what words you shouldn't use. your dress and hair and makeup depend on your plans. If you're going to a party, you'll be way more dressed up than if you're getting together to play video games. Generally, the conversation stays pretty light and groups will try to avoid topics like politics and religion ]]> 2021-02-04 15:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164463810 aktaylo4 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164464168 Tone is in between professional and with friends because it can be seen by anyone. Showing the best version of yourself and things they can show off. Different types of accounts can talk about different topics depending on interests. This is where people display their ideal self and dress and look how they want others to view them. More casual but still want to look good. No specific topics to be avoided, people can post anything they want to social media.]]> 2021-02-04 15:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164464168 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164465279 On social media, it really can depend on the platform. We think that instagram can be described as your "highlight reel". But also, people create "finstas" or have a "close friends" where they may feel more free to be themselves. Additionally, you have to be aware of your digital footprint to make sure you aren't doing or saying anything illegal or offensive that could get you "cancelled." People use "liking" or "dming" to express themselves non-verbally ]]> 2021-02-04 15:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164465279 tjjohn22 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164470599 It depends on what kind of friends you are around. Some friends have boundaries on how they prefer to be spoken to so your language may be filtered. More vulgar language and gestures than in a professional setting.]]> 2021-02-04 15:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164470599 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164474190 Semi-formal attire, so maybe what you would wear to church or out to dinner. Hair and make up is probably done. Posture would be good, smile a lot and use eye contact when talking. Maybe use hand gestures. Stay away from 'heavy' topics and would have more conversations that are about happy things. Avoid problematic topics that will spark debate and don't use cuss words. ]]> 2021-02-04 16:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164474190 corchar https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164482310 You would want to dress nicely and be more socially adept.

Next step down from professional settings. Don't want to be too revealing. Non verbal gestures depend on the situation, can vary from hand shakes to hugs. Topics spoken about are asking about the other people and making conversation. Topics to be avoided is politics and religion and controversial topics.]]> 2021-02-04 16:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164483582 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/35i22598mef607ih/wish/1164489240 You would want to be the best version of yourself in circumstances like this.
