Communication is crucial in humans. At all times information is passed from one place to another through verbal and body language. Verbal communication is meaningless without a body gesture, which makes the communication more interesting and dynamic. For our communication to be effective we must consider expressing clearly, consistent and make sure the message is transmitted with the correct intention that it is when reached by the receiver. Poor communication starts when we talk very fast, do not organize our thoughts before speaking and causes the receiver to not understand the message correctly. The repetition, contradiction, substitution, complementing and accenting are points to consider when implementing body language. But we must know what each one of these points mean for a more effective communication. The repetition in body language is used to imitate the point the person is making verbally. For example, when someone you give a direction, one tends to use the hands pointing where to direct the person. For contradiction, it is when the person’s gestures don’t match with what they are verbally expressing. An example of this would be if you verbally agree with a parent’s new rule but at the same time rolling your eyes and crossing the arms to demonstrate the contrary. Substitution is when you replace a verbal message with a gesture, just like the thumbs up when you mean agreement or move your head side to side in disagreement. Complimenting is adding emphasis to the verbal message. An excellent example is when someone pats your back complementing a positive message or praise. Accenting and complementing are very much alike since both can add emphasis to a message. But, accenting a verbal message gives more emotion and is more evident, just like when you jump out of excitement when receiving good news. Using our facial expressions and a proper tone
