Nonverbal communicationTo find out more about nonverbal communication, check out the following Web sites. The first site is interactive and asks you to look at faces of people from different cultures in order to determine their feelings and moods, such as happy, frightened, and worried. The second site discusses gestures people use around the world. Visit one of these Web sites and write a short paragraph on what you learn. If either site is no longer available, use a search engine and type in "nonverbal communication" or "gestures." | ||
