After beginning the video, we quickly are informed that, "Experts report that 93 percent of all communication is through gesture, facial expression and body movement, not words." This statement proves that “body language is everything”. In the video, a short clip is shown involving two well known world leaders, George Bush and Vladimir Putin. The video explains, the stride of a person can say a lot about them. Putin’s stride depicts he’s strong, both literally and figuratively. As he walks, keeping his head high, and his shoulders moving back and forth carrying his swagger, making him more appealing.

Following the explanation of a person stride, comes the clip of the three world leaders trying to fit through a door at the same time. Many people would probably say it doesn’t matter who walks through the door first, they are wrong. In the west, it is based on the politeness of the person, however; in the Middle East it is different because it is based on cultural customs. The person who has the most power or is the highest in authority in the situation will take control and lead you through the door. The last of the three world leaders through the door, wins.

In the debate Nixon would not agree to wearing make up on camera,a and sweated tremendously due to the lighting. Kennedy on the other hand was much more appealing, wearing make up on set. So who won the debate? At the time, it depended how you saw the debate.

A lot of pretending takes place, pretending to like people and the places you are. The real sign of body language is shown by non other than Bill Clinton. We are shown a short clip of Clinton in an interview, when he is asked questions he isnt thrilled to answer. However, Clinton’s face shows his discomfort with the question, but he regains composure and answers the questions and ends the press
