Verbal language and non verbal language

Although Non verbal forms of communication are effective such as frowning and walking away from someone. Verbal forms work are well. There are two forms of verbal communication that are used on a daily basis. First, Low context cultures, which are “generally used to express thoughts and feelings” (Looking Out Looking In Pg 185) Second, high context cultures: which “are used to maintain social harmony.”( Looking Out Looking In Pg 185)
Although non nonverbal forms of communication are used more frequently than verbal forms of communication, They can sometimes be used together. For example: when a person says “good job and gives you a thumbs up sign”. (Looking Out Looking In) this non verbal and verbal reaction help you understand that you did a good job.
Although American’s use non verbal and verbal forms of communication like it going out of style, other cultures like people in Afghanistan find it in insulting when you give them a thumbs up sign. They consider it flipping someone off in their country. Some cultures like Vietnam, they are so close they don’t need to use much verbal language. I can’t tell you how my personal space has been violated by my dad’s girl friend, who by the way is Vietnamese.
Whether American or another culture we all use verbal and non verbal forms of communication. Its just not the same way in every country.
