Avoiding is the strategy that involves ignoring the issue and differences involved in the hopes that they will go away on their own. There is no engagement with the other party, and thus no expression of a struggle, despite the perception of difference.

Name the eight types of non-verbal communication. Explain each in detail, including a personal example of each type.
The eight types of non-verbal communication are kinesics, oculesics, proxemics, haptics, chronemics, olfactics, vocalics, and artifacts.
Kinesics refers to nonverbal behaviors related to the movement of the body. This includes gestures which are physical movements used to convey a message.

Different types of touch can serve to amplify a verbal message, reinforce it, and even at times contradict it, but the one constant is that touch is key for sending emotional dimensions of a message to another person-perhaps more so than any other form of nonverbal communication. An example is when I went to apply for a job two years ago. The first thing I did in the interview was shake the persons hand. This shows that I’m p;eased to meet them and it is a polite way to introduce yourself and respect for the other person. Another example is when I’m watching football game with my friends and our team scores a touch down we either high five each other or bump knuckles with each other. This indicates that we are happy and exciting about something that just
