Business Communication

Business communication refers to the aptitude of speaking in the same language as a

group, both internally and externally, to promote a business. It is a vital tool used by an

organization to thrive in a professional style to advance its goals, aims, objectives, and

activities and increase a company's profit. In this case, our body language speaks volumes

about our state of mind, our sense of self-worth, and our level of confidence in a given

situation.

Reflecting on the video on how to spot a liar by Pamela Meyer, our body language

will always tell the truth whether a person is lying or not. According to Pamela, lying is a

cooperative act; it has no power as its power arises when a person decides to believe the lie.

Pamela classifies liars to have certain body expressions that they incorporate as they try to

make it sound true while lying; these expressions include faking a smile and a cry just like

babies do and pause waiting to see who is coming and then continue. Others use distancing

language to distance themselves from the subject, shake their heads and shoulders while

speaking, and even when lips are silent, they chatter with fingertips.

However, it stands to me that we always show certain expressions whenever in a

conversation, which depends on the matter being discussed. Now the questions hitting me

after watching Pamela’s video includes; are we really all liars? Is using body language

wrong? and how sure are lying spotters that one is lying by just looking into various

expressions? Other questions include; since lying is a cooperative act, does it mean the liar

and the person being lied to are participating? How and in which way does the person being

lied to become a participant, yet he or she does not know the information and its truth? As my

closing in this topic is that, we might all be liars at some point but to sport liars through

looking into body expression is not a major answer to this question how to stop a liar.

Expressions will always be there, whether in happy moment conversation or morning

moments.
