    Non Verbal Communication

    Uploaded by

    Abdullah Ansari
    Non-verbal communication through facial expressions, body language, eye contact, and personal items can convey powerful messages about identities, relationships, and cultural values. Facial expressions and postures indicate emotions, while physical objects symbolize lifestyle and commitments. Non-verbal cues establish levels of relationships, power dynamics, and meanings that can interact with or contradict verbal communication. Cultural norms influence appropriate non-verbal behaviors like personal space, eye contact, and touch.
