Nonverbal communication has to do with how one will express how they are feeling simply through facial expression and body language. “Nonverbal factors can make the face-saving deception either succeed or fail,” which is not a good thing when one is telling a big lie because people do not realize even though your verbally saying one thing, your body language could be telling another story, but most liars tend to get caught (183). There were a handful of examples when it came to deceptive communication through out the movie. One example is when Fletcher was walking into work and was greeting everyone with nice compliments, he said to one guy “ Hey Pete! Losing weight?…
On Sunday night at 8 o’clock, I observed these two girls at the Cup A Joe on Hillsborough Street to determine their nonverbal behaviors. Nonverbal communication is communication without words.

When people are interacting with one another, the sender or receiver of the message may interrupt the message differently. The receiver may be presenting positive information through verbal messages but his/her facial features are presenting negative feedback by showing a frown, a scowl, or even a head shake.

Verbal and nonverbal communication are part of everyday life and are essential for relationships to function. According to McCornack (2016), verbal communication is, “the exchange of spoken and or written language with others during interactions” (p.191). This type of communication is very different from nonverbal communication which Wang (2009) describes as, “nonverbal stimuli in a communication setting that (is) generated by both the source and his or her use of the environment and that have potential message value for the source or receiver” (p.155).

“Nonverbal communication captures more feelings of a conversation then actual words"(Seiler, Beall, Mazer 2005, p. 115). It has so many different meanings, from looking, touching, and moving with your body. Body language Is what some people capture from having a certain conversation.

Nonverbal communication is a major part in life. There are many situations in which people aren’t able to have a conversation or speak, so they have to use hand gestures or facial expressions in order to get a point across. The textbook defines Nonverbal Communication as “communication other than written or spoken language that creates meaning (Beebe, Beebe, and Ivy, 2007)”.
