This document discusses verbal and nonverbal communication. It defines body language as the language expressed through facial expressions, gestures, and body movements. Body language is an innate form of nonverbal communication that conveys emotions and messages without words. It is controlled by the limbic system of the brain and allows people to intuitively understand feelings through displays of comfort or discomfort. While some myths exist, like that certain behaviors always indicate deception, body language is a largely unconscious yet reliable form of communication important for social interactions.
Our body speaks in so many ways. In fact, your nonverbal language may be impacting your career opportunities, client connections and even your business alliances. Let me demonstrate how your body speaks!
This PPT contains information about definition of body language / non-verbal communication, why body language is so important, different types of body languages and also number of different facial expressions, voluntary/ Intentional movements and Involuntary movements, Description of different body languages, positive body language signals and its evaluation, negative body language signals and also how to read body language with pictorial view, different standard leg-cross positions with examples and also different types of non-verbal communications.
As designers, we are lucky enough to get to interact with many different types of people during the course of our work. We observe people using technology and proposed design solutions. While working on our projects, we collaborate directly with our team, clients, and stakeholders to bring a solution to life. All of this interaction exposes us to lots of body language. The language of the body offers up many hints and insights into what people are thinking and feeling. It’s been said that our bodies tell what is really on our minds, and it’s important to know not only what others might be telling you but what you could be telling them.
It’s important for designers to have a fundamental understanding of body language and what are key signs to look for when interacting with users or project teams. There are key patterns that, when observed correctly, can tell you if someone is supportive of your idea, hiding their true feelings, or simply sitting back and daydreaming the meeting away.
Observing non-verbal communication cues is only one side of the coin, though—the other side being your own body language. Inherently knowing the patterns and signs of the body opens your eyes to the messages you might be giving off. The ability to manage your own body language is something that can be learned and mastered, helping you become a better collaborator and communicator.
Participants will walk away from this session with basic knowledge of how to read and respond to common non-verbal communication patterns and learn how to better manage their own non-verbal communication. They will be armed with additional resources to continue on their path of mastering the language of the body.
Gestures and movement provide the visuals that accompany your words. Learning to use them effectively will help you convey your message with confidence and your audience will see your message instead of just hearing it

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

communication process.
Iconic:
Graphic representation of an object

Representation through a social agreement
(dressed in black when mourning).
Graphic languages:
Written languages that use images to
represent reality (Hieroglyphics)
Musical:
Melodies do not necessarily have lyrics in order
to create an environment; Metal, Jazz, etc.
2. Body Language
• What is it?
– The language spoken by the body in terms of facial expressions, hand gestures, postures and other
body movements.
– The use of non verbal communication: B.L. expresses a persons inner thoughts and feelings; frowning
signals one is worried or displeased. Turning one’s back and moving away implies avoidance.
• Is it limited to the expressions or movements of specific parts of the body?
– Body Language covers a wide variation of gestures, body positions, even the distance that we consider
safe or acceptable when in the communicational process. Also; hand signals, finger signals, hand
positioning, making faces, etc.
• Is Body Language the result of a certain type of aesthetics, or is it a natural
phenomenon?
– We communicate primarily nonverbally, not verbally; our early ancestors communicated effectively
through the use of nonverbal forms of communication: Physiological changes (flushed face), gestures
(hand gestures), Noises, and facial or body reactions.
3. Non verbal communication
• We communicate to others
how we feel and what we
sense.
• It is a fact that we use
nonverbal communication
primarily; in our written
communication we use
emotional icons profusely.
• If we stopped to think for a
minute how to react to every
perilous encounter, we might
not actually be very
successful at surviving as
species.
• We learned to react and not
to think (The freeze, fight,
flight response)
4. Understanding Body
language
•Our Brain has created the channels to
perceive and responses to give to our
surroundings when we feel comfortable or
uncomfortable. This we communicate
primarily through our bodies.
•E.g.: Taste something gone bad, something
that is in the process of decay and
everyone around you will know instantly
from your expression, they do not need to
taste it.
•Body language is quick, authentic and
reliable.
• But it is not only about threats or
survival, or our time of reaction, our Brain
also telegraphs our intentions.
•Behind all this are our needs, intentions,
emotions, feelings, thoughts.
• All this is processed elegantly through
the ‘Limbic system’ of the Brain. It doesn’t
have to think it just reacts, in real time.
5. Understanding Body
Language
• When we receive bad news,
there is a series of physical
signals, reactions happening in
our bodies; our lips compress, we
clench our jaws, nervously rub
our necks, we squint and lower
our chins.
•This are discomfort displays
that the limbic Brain has
perfected over millions of years
whether we are in China or
Chile..
6. Understanding Body
language
• There are changes happening
in our bodies; when we see
somebody we like or love, the
body displays changes that are
communicating our emotions and
feelings.
• Our bodies do not have to do
that yet we have been reacting
like this for a long time. Why?
Because we are social animals
that communicate both verbally
and non verbally.
• Is this essential for us
humans? Think about children
who are born blind; having never
seen this behaviors will also
perform them.
• Luckily for us, this behaviors
are hard wired.
7. Understanding Body
Language
•Whether in business, at home or
in relationships, we can always be
sure that true sentiments will be
reflected in our Body Language
through displays of comfort and
discomfort.
• A binary system of
communicating how we feel, it
has stood the test of time, it
helps us also through its
simplicity.
• It can be very effective in
determining how other people
feel about us; when people sense
that something is wrong in a
relationship, what they are
sensing are changes in Body
language displays.
8. Limbic system functions.
•Emotions, Motivation,
memory and learning.
•Controls mood and attitude.
• Stores highly charged
emotional memories.
• Controls appetite and sleep
cycles.
•Makes us better to adapt
our behaviors flexibly in
response to our changing
environment.
9. Some myths revisited…
• Generally speaking people think they
know it all about Body language, they
think for example that to spot a liar is
easy; that is a myth (Ekman, P.).
• What are often mistaken as signs of
deception (Nose touching, mouth
covering, eye closing), are really
pacifiers that help us relieve stress.
• These pacifier behaviors are used
both by the guilty and the innocent to
relieve the stress of a meeting.
• A second myth is that eye aversion is
an indicator of deception.
• During interviews or conversations Eye
avoiding is wrongfully interpreted as an
intent to deceive. This is a myth.
10. Age, cultural bias, emotional
input.
Recent studies have shown
that age is negatively
associated with the accuracy
of decoding facial
expressions.
Facial expressions play a
central role in the quality of
interpersonal interactions
because they convey
important information on the
emotional states of our
interaction partners.
Erroneous interpretations of
facial expressions may lead
to misunderstandings and
impair the quality of
interactions.
11. Useful behaviors in
meetings
• Respond to questions immediately, without
hesitation, speech errors, throat clearing or
time fillers.
• Body position when interacting at an
interview; Head lightly tilted to the side.
• People want to see hands, make sure others
can see them (specially if you are talking)
Make sure your hand gestures are wide and
smooth.
• When making a point; emphasis palm down,
fingers spread on the table surface. This
registers confidence strongly.
• If it is something specific you want to
emphasize –a ‘precision grip’ (index finger
against the tip of your thumb) is good to make
your point.
• If you have to point to an object or to call
onto someone to speak, do so with the hand
(fingers extended palm up) Never point with a
finger, not even at a chair.
• Give ample space to others; do not crowd
them at the table or shared spaces. This can
potentially cause Psychological comfort or
discomfort

13. Body language presentation; General guidelines and suggestions.
• The intention of this work, is to present the students interested in acquiring knowledge about Body language with a brief
but reliable information on the topic, something that can give them orientation about the basics of: Body non – verbal
communication (Body Language) and at the same time will enable them to create their own strategies for a job interview or
any other type of interview , reassuring them in a way that will reflect positively, diminishing the pressure of stress or
controlling emotional expressions that can disrupt the flow in communication.
• An interview can sometimes seem like a very complex situation. It is then, of great importance to understand the basics
about the most common form of communication and be able –to some extent- ‘predict’ or better; anticipate the possible
scenarios they can meet at a job interview from a more general perspective.
• It is suggested that this material be managed in an interactive way with the students; building concepts from the
experiences they have already had, also, possible situations and anecdotes can be handy as long as they are related to the
material presented in the slide. As we all have been in situations from positive to awkward, there are always stories related
to our reactions, our communication and miscommunication events. From there, we can find common ground where to
start the presentation of this material.
• To create a context, The material presents the differences between verbal and non verbal communication, then goes to
explain what is body language and give examples of BL in common situations, facts about BL, and information related to
Physiology that explain why and how these things happen in our bodies. Where in our bodies this happens and how,
nowadays we understand it.
• A few myths are revised very briefly and explained why they no longer constitute reliable concepts. Also, the relation of the
good and bad within BL with our social performances is very briefly mentioned.
• The information comprised in this presentation is brief and to the point due to the fact that it is a very broad topic and it
can’t be presented in half an hour. It can be successfully shared within that time frame though.
