NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Hi, in this post i'm gonna talk about non-verbal communication, and i'd like to begin with the following question...

IS NON- VERBAL COMMUNICATION EVEN IMPORTANT IN BASIC COMMUNICATION?

well, there's so many ways of answering this question and it all leaves us in a big YES!

why? because of the following reasons...

1. it helps different cultures to communicate.
2. it speaks more thank words.
3. t says what people are feeling.
4. it helps us to know what a person is about to do.

I personally think this is important because it's proved that the non-verbal communication speaks more than words; many times people know what other people are thinking or feeling just by looking at them in the eyes or face, just by looking at their body language.

And it's also true that real emotions can't be denied. when it's a strong feeling there's nothing we can do to hide it. it is just shown by our face.

The famous sentence "Actions speaks more than words" it's actually true; people can talk a lot, and they can also lie a lot; but the body language, the expresion of a face; it would never tell a lie, it's imposible.

Psychologists says that this kind of communication is the most save way of knowing what a person is truly feeling; it has also helped a lot with police cases.

Once, i saw a documentary and there are people who is specialized in body language and with the years, it becomes very easy for them to know when someone is telling a lie, even if this person is trying to deny it.

well, concluding, non- verbal communication brings cultures together because it helps to communicate with people who doesn't speak your language. eventhough every culture has their own ways to commmunicate, there is just way of communicating; and it's a face. because THERE'S A LOT IN A FACE.

thank you, bye.

AFRICAN AMARICANS

The african americans are residents of the United States who have african ancestors. they are considered the larges racial minority of this country. the first african people in the united states were slaves, that's one of the reasons why african americans are discriminated, and probably because of that they don't always have the same rights that any other resident would have. and as i said, this subculture is a huge part of the united states, and it has provided so many things to this country when it comes to culture. in dance, music, art and many other things. this community has created distinctive language patterns. the african american subculture has their own neighborhoods, most of them are self-sufficient, it means that every aspect is maintained by african americans. and when this is not happening they get government support, but the problem is that this support is not always enough. so I'm not saying african american are having a bad time in the united states, because actually their standard of living is getting better as the time goes. and now that the president belongs to the subculture, this is getting more respect and value.
Today, the biggest problem for african americans is racial and social discrimination, and because of this two little things, huge problems and conflicts between american and african americas are so common. they used to have a lot of problems with education, and I'm not saying they're not longer there, but is has stopped over the years. like many other problems they had in the past.
african american are very expressive people and they're nice people as long as you treat them with the respect they deserve. i don't know if I'm wrong but in my opinion they're like on the defensive because of the problems they have had over the years, because of they're whole history.
thank you
