Abstract

Human beings are in constant communication with each other. That is why they are considered like a social species. The concept of communication is usually related to the act of speaking. However, there is so much more implicated in it. It implicates multiple movements, which are part of non verbal language. Much of this is unconscious, so there lies the importance of knowing how to read them in others or to prevent being read, in order to execute our ability to pretend or lie.
