Nonverbal Communication: Body Movement

Everyday we use nonverbal communication, we may not think we always do, but it is impossible not to. We all are guilty of nonverbal communication, because even reading this essay shows that you are focused and do not want to be interrupted. One type of nonverbal communication that I find most noticeable and interesting is body movement or kinesics. Body movement has five roles that play in our relationships with ourselves.
