Body language involves
just about every body
part, literally from head to
toe. It includes head
movements, facial
expressions, hand
gestures, posture, torso
shifts, and positioning of
legs and feet. Eye contact,
tone of voice, and even
the amount of space
between people in a
conversation are also
considered part of
nonverbal communication.
Whether standing or sitting, as long as
some part of you body is in motion,
you are communication through body
language.
In general, while words
transmit facts and
information, most body
language conveys feelings,
emotions, and attitude. In
addition, communication
through body language is
almost instant.
People everywhere communicate through body
language. But in different cultures, the same
gesture or body movement can have different
meanings. In England and Germany, maintaining
eye contact is considered good manners, as it is in
the United States. In parts of Africa and Asia,
however, it is seen as a sign of disrespect.
Everyone possesses a wealth of knowledge,
beliefs, and experence regarding nonverbal
communication. These questions bring to
mind three aspects of nonverbal
communication that make use of during your
day-to-day interacion with others.
