    Non-verbal communication involves sending and receiving messages without words through body language, space and distance, time, and color. Body language includes facial expressions, eye contact, postures, gestures, and appearance. Proxemics examines appropriate distances in communication: intimate (touching), personal (normal conversation), social (business), and public (speeches). Different cultures associate different meanings with colors and gestures. For example, the "OK" sign means different things in various countries. Time perception also varies between cultures. Non-verbal signals depend on cultural norms and backgrounds.
