As human beings, we have many ways of communicating with each other, and two of the oldest, most popular forms of communication include posturing and gesturing. For example, it is evident through someone’s posture, whether they are confident or meager and shy. This feeling is often conveyed not just by posture, but when talking to someone, how comfortable you are.
Are they sitting up straight in their chair? Sometimes a relaxed posture tells others that the person may be tense or angry. It can also be said that posture is measured by whether you are submissive or assertive. Gesturing, on the other hand, is something people do to make the conversation more colorful and interesting.
Sometimes it is boring just to watch someone sit there and speak, and there are many different popular gestures. When we say hello to someone we know, we wave our hand in the air as a greeting, and good-bye is the same but in reverse. Shrugging shoulders means “I don’t know.” The most universally controversial gesture is giving someone the finger, and we all know what that means.
