so excited about it,

lets aware
The fascinating thing is that the
human animal is rarely aware of his
postures, movements, gestures,
position and distances that can tell
one story while his voice may be
telling another.
Its about the non-verbal aspects or
implications of face-to-face

in some Mediterranean
countries it is an

the thumb-up
gesture
In Britain, Australia and New

PERSONAL SPACE

Four distinct zone distances

Intimate Zone (between 15 and 45
centimetres or 6 to 18 inches)
Personal Zone (between 46 centimetres
and 1.22 metres or 18 to 48 inches)
Social Zone (between 1.22 and 3.6
metres or 4 to 12 feet)
Public Zone (over 3.6 metres or 12 feet)

Unwritten rules that people in

Western cultures follow rigidly when
faced with a crowded situation
You are not permitted to speak to anyone, including a

person you know.

You must avoid eye contact with others at all times.
You are to maintain a poker face - no emotion is
permitted to be displayed.
If you have a book or newspaper, you must appear to
be deeply engrossed in it.
The bigger the crowd, the less the body movement
you are permitted to make.
In elevators, you are compelled to watch the floor
numbers above your head.
