Personal reflection 1

First of all what is body language? Body language is a language through which a person reflects his or her ideas and feelings without any verbal signals. I have chosen this topic for my personal reflection since I am interested in body language and furthermore I believe that body language is not just kind of a language  instead it is  a treasure trove full of useful information. As scientists have proven that from 65% to 93% of messages in face-to-face communication are sent through our body language.  Thereby, our body is more than bones and blood vessels rather it is reliable source for everyone, everywhere and every time.  In addition, as most of the experts tries to do, the main success is to detect signals received from ones nonverbal language. To do so, first of all one should pay attention to send messages with every single detail and then to combine all gestures together to absorb the purpose or intention of the person because as in verbal language there are homonyms, gestures in body language may have different  meaning.  For example, if a person’s pupils are dilated during the conversation we could not decide that he or she is lying since pupils can also dilate when the person is shy or desire something. Moreover, we cannot guess what is said in a sentence by reading just a word. Traditionally it is so in body language. In order to catch what is going on human’s brain from his or her body language the whole action with all gestures, signs and expressions should be followed. Consequently, we should not make snap decisions while detecting body language signals. Here I would like to share one of my experiences. Last year when I was supposed to write an essay on the topic related to body language, I was continuously searching on the topic. As a result, I become so influenced by the information I have found that most of the time I was suspicious about whether people are lying or not, which was a complete bias against people.
