FORMS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Non-verbal communication can take many forms. Effectiveness in communication depends on understanding what these forms might be and how their meanings may differ between countries.
Eye contact
In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact is seen as a sign of respect. However, those in Latin and North America consider eye contact important for showing equality among individuals. In Ghana, if a young child looks an adult in the eye, it is considered an act of a stubborn child.
Touch
A great number of cultural expressions are shown through touch. In America, for example, using a firm handshake is considered appropriate to greet a stranger or business partner. However, in France, it is common to kiss someone you greet on both cheeks. Touching children on the head is fine in North America. However, in Asia, this is considered inappropriate because the head is an important part of the body. In the Middle East, the left hand is often used to clean the body so using that hand to receive a gift or shake hands is considered very rude.
Facial Expressions
Winking is a facial expression which has different meanings. In Latin America, it is considered a romantic gesture while people in Nigeria wink at their children if they want them to leave the room.
Posture
In America, standing with hands on the hips may suggest power or pride, but in Argentina, it may suggest anger.
