They might not realize it, but Body language is a huge part of communication. Communication is usually done verbally, but body language is an example of non-verbal communication. “Gestures, movements, and even facial expressions are considered to be body language. Body language can tell you if someone is lying, being defensive, or their confidence level” (mindtools). To be able to identify these will help you in being able to relate to them or even talk to them better. You can tell if someone is lying by “little to no eye contact, rapid eye movements, breathing rate increases, complexion color changes, perspiration increases, and voice changes” (mindtools). This is helpful to many jobs that are trained to tell if someone is lying; police and nursing. Police use these methods on suspects. Nurses use these to see if their patient is telling the truth about what’s going on with them. If people are defensive, they usually have “minimal facial expressions, arms are crossed in front of their body, little eye contact, and hand/arm gestures are close to his/her body” (mindtools). Most people are able to tell if someone is defensive if they have their arms crossed. By knowing these signs, you can adjust on how you can talk to people or the way you’re talking to them.

You can use Skype to facetime someone who you haven’t talked to in a while. If you’re looking for a significant other, you can use a dating website like eharmony or Match. Celebrities use online communication for everything. They want to keep their fans updated on what’s happening in their lives. A real life example would be when Khloe Kardashian was keeping people updated about Lamar Odom and his recovery. He was found “unconscious in Nevada and there was proof that he had drugs in his system. He partied for three days straight and had herbal supplements in his system ” (CNN). Even though Khloe and Lamar are getting a divorce, she stayed by his side until he was one hundred percent. She gave statements to E! News and even used Twitter to update people on how he was doing. By using online communication, people can relate to each other, which means you have something in common or experienced the same thing they have. For example, if you go to Rate My Professor, you can find students who’ve had the same teacher. The comments are usually all the same. They either agree with you or don’t. Another example
