Abstract

Nonverbal communication is formed from a number of separate codes; this being universal is understood as well in all cultures. Also, along with the experience and age, grows our ability to communicate, and messages sent indicate information about our problems or relationships with others. Nonverbal messages can sometimes contradict what we say, so nonverbal communication is unintentional. From the oldest classification, nonverbal communication is grouped into three big categories namely: signs language including gestures, actions language including body movements involved in different activities and objects language.
