Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit We tend to be more relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other individual More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the spoken word If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two
or more people
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a person's lifetime Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills
