Body Language: One of the most important part of language, but least
discussed, is body language. Body language is the key to seeing one’s
personality before they ever say a word. Movement and expression involve a

not.

One of the most important part of language, but least discussed, is body
language. Body language is the key to seeing one’s personality before they
ever say a word. Movement and expression involve a person’s feeling and
emotion into his/her statement whether they mean to or not. In anger, fear,
sadness or happiness, body language is used in every condition, perhaps even
more than spoken words.
Facial expressions are a perfect example of body language. Every morning when
I drive to college I get stuck in morning traffic. It is frustrating for
everyone; no matter if you are a passive person or an aggressive person. If a
red light stops you and you only have ten minutes to get to work the situation
can make you a bit livid. As I look at the people around me, I can see their
faces burning with fury as they as they hit the steering wheel. Others have
looks of desperation, as if to tell me that this single light could be the one
to get them fired for being late. The rest of the faces are calm and collective.
These faces tell me that they have accepted the light and do not care.
Then it happens! Miles down the road, the traffic light far behind us, a car
cuts one of the pacifist faces off. The car slows down to turn down the upcoming
road. The pacifist’s body language does a complete metamorphoses. He
immediately grinds his teeth together. His hands grip the wheel so tightly his
fingers turn pale white. Even though I cannot hear his words, I know he is
cursing by the violent motion of his fist in the air. He proceeds to shake his
fist only now his middle finger is raised. This is the boldest and most direct
form of body language called “Shooting the Bird”. Hostility and anger are
sometimes expressed more vividly using body language.
However, not all body language is used in anger. A form of body language that
is not used in anger is the wink. The winks can be casual blink or a sexy
twinkle of the eye. It can, at times, be very hard to distinguish the
difference. Like words, body language can be interpreted many ways. If a member
of the opposite sex winks at you, it can be difficult to determine whether it
was just a friendly gesture or something more. While I was at work a similar
event happened to me.
