Week 4, Question 3

This week I found interesting nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is "mulidimension and may take the form of body or facial gestures, tone of voice..."  I found it interesting to learn that different subcultures in the United States have different forms of nonverbal communications. The book talked about how African Americans have different ways of expression emotions through communication then other races and each race non verbally communicates different. Nonverbal communication is what is isn't said, yet at the same time doesn't have to be. People will expression their thoughts, emotions and saying by using body parts, or not using them in some cases to show thoughts without verbally speaking them. Nonverbal communication is important because it is almost like getting the real truth out of someone. By reading their body language and looking at their actions we can tell if they really mean what they say or if they are just saying it do talk. When someone is asked to do something they don't want to do and the person rolls their eyes or clinches their fist we can tell without them saying a word that they are upset with the task that has been sent to them. Nonverbal communication I believe is very important and makes people to people communication even stronger.
