Interacting with others: The Soler theory

S: face squarely . When talking to someone you want them to be in your direct view so it looks like you’re paying interest to the conversation

O: Open posture. When in a interview you shouldn’t cross your arms of just let them drag next to you as it looks like you don’t want to be there you should do things like put your hands on your knees.

L:Lean. By leaning forward it looks like you are taking interest and that you want to hear the rest of the conversation

Social Media Group Debate

1. You must decide upon an opening statement. This should state your opinion, position and the arguments you will be proposing.

E.g. Censorship is wrong because everyone has the right to free speech.
