 CONCLUSION
Body language is universal. Everyone has body language; one is born with it. It is expressed
differently from culture to culture, but the innate use of it is common to all humans on the
planet. This form of nonverbal communication is of paramount importance because it is the
most pure of all human expressions. One must have awareness and be knowledgeable in
understanding body language to successfully maneuver in today’s complex digital society. In
this era of so many forms of non-personal communication for example the wide spread use of
like texting on cell phones, the human interaction is severely diminished. One spends an
estimated ninety percent of verbal communication texting, instead of standing face to face
talking. With all of this actual human contact eliminated the importance of nonverbal
communication and of understanding it is greatly increased.

Communication between cultures can be difficult and confusing because of complexities in

language; however, with the use of body language, messages become clearer and easily
translated because most body language is universal. Facial expressions are a primary example
of the globalization of non verbal communication, because humans primitively and inherently
react to varying facial expressions. A smile in any language or corner of the world means
happiness and is welcomed, while a frown in any context is more omniscient and troubling to
an observer. Body posture also claims universal meaning; a tall posture with shoulders tilted
back exudes confidence while slumped shoulders do not. Personal interactions between
separate nations and cultures can become extremely frustrating; however, if the signs of body
language are utilized, understandings can be reached without extensive study of any language
other than the instinct we as humans are born with. The cultures of the world may contrast
greatly, but it is the human form and primitive body language which connects the globe.

On the other hand, tone or voice of a human,facial expression and eye contact also makes a
huge impact on the observer. Hence, Body language is very important in all forms of
communication. It helps to break the barrier of unfamiliarity and helps to form a better
connect with the recipient of information.
