Non Verbal Communication

Non Verbal communication is a universal form of communication. The United States plays a big part in various acceptable forms of communication. Nevertheless, each individual may use non verbal communication differently. Culture and religious beliefs plays a big part of how one may view non verbal communication. Many people use certain forms of communication based on their personal beliefs. Non verbal communication is prevalent in all humans’ daily lifestyles. Communication is prevalent when we aren’t aware. I was able to explore non- verbal communication, threw my class project. I and a friend sat face to face, during a non- verbal communication observation. Sitting face to face with another adult felt weird. We looked at each other with a curious look. I wondered did she think I was a weirdo. I came to terms that she was just as weird as me. She agreed to help me with my project. I am very social, and amiable. My demeanor or persona allows people to feel comfortable around me. I felt very comfortable around my friend. Based on her demeanor she was comfortable. She pointed two her wrist after 30 seconds. I raised my wrist, to show her my watch. This non verbal form of communication was a joke. I never were a watch. I use my cell phone, or brain. Inclosing, non verbal communication can bring about all forms of feelings. Nevertheless, this form of communication is very effective. Road rage and love can be communicated non-verbally. Gangs and urban area criminals, use signs. When I

was a child, I saw my peers murdered. They would show various signs with their hands. The signs lead to their demise. I believe this project should be required of all adult learners.
