Body Language
Body language is an important factor in sociology and communication. Body language is a form of human nonverbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously. It is impossible for social scientists to study body language in any manner that is not applied. Indeed, social scientists are interested in body language precisely because of what it conveys about social interactions and the relationship between nonverbal interlocutors. This dynamic can only be studied in applied contexts.
Whether you're on a date, at a cocktail, party, or interacting with someone you're not completely comfortable with yet in any other situation, the physical cues you give off can have big repercussions. Not only can bad body language negatively inform others opinions of you, but research shows that it can even subconsciously affect your view of yourself. Things to avoid is blocking or angling away from the person you are have a conversation with. Be aware of your surroundings and what body language is and is not acceptable in that given situation. Give the recipient their space, you don't want to invade their personal bubble.
Body language helps or can hinder conversation. Communication is key in sociology and expanding of cultures. Having one culture influence another and so on begins with communication and if there is a language barrier body or sign language is helpful. Each language has different meanings and context to use in certain situations to mean different things. Body language is a kind of nonverbal communication, where thoughts, intentions, or feelings are expressed by physical behaviors, such as facial expressions, body posture, gestures, gestures, eye movement, touch and the use of space. Body language is a key element in sociology and will continue to be.
