In earlier chapters we talked all about how communication is created and understood by us and the others around us. There are two forms of communication; we talked about two forms verbal and nonverbal. Verbal is an important part of communication, but nonverbal is also important part too. Nonverbal is “messages expressed by nonlinguistic means”. There are characteristic and types of nonverbal communication that standout.
Characteristics of nonverbal can be influenced by the culture and gender. Culture can influence by emblems, which are understood substitute for nonverbal expressions. There is difference between men’s and women’s nonverbal communication, some can be noticeable and others are not. They can be how they stand, play with jewelry …show more content…
Men stand more firms, while women stand with a better posture than how a man stands. Women usually play with their jewelry or hair when they are nervous, bored, or even habit. I see myself do this at times, when I wear jewelry I’m always playing with it, twisting it, moving my bracelets, tightening my earrings. With playing with my hair I don’t see that much with me unless it’s in my face or in the way then I move it. Tapping on another’s shoulder women are more polite and shy about it they are would do so in a more gentle touch, while men don’t really get shy about they just jump at it and will tap someone’s shoulder with little more aggressive touch then women do.
There are some types of nonverbal communication; those are body movements, distance, territoriality, and clothing. Body movements have three parts to it face and eyes, posture, and gestures.

There four different distances they care intimate, social, and public. Intimate distance is eighteen inches to skin contacts. This is where you let the love ones like close family members, friends, and partners close in.

This could be when seeing a familiar face but you really don’t know them really well to let them in more. Social Distance is about 4 feet to 12 feet. Social distance can be seen at meetings, or lectures, or places that someone wants to be a conformable space in between them. Public distance can be outward from 12 feet, this can be when you are walking down a hallway, or at a park, somewhere you are in public and there are people around.
