Good morning students, I agree with the motion that non-verbal communication can be louder than verbal communication. I will demonstrate this to you in number of ways.
First of all, one of the most important parts of any conversation is the silence. Silence can serve many functions in a conversation. It is always nice to be able to speak your heart out, but there is a powerful essence to silence. For instance, during an argument, by staying silent and listening you can gather your thoughts so you are able to handle the situation more adequately. Silence can also indicate that the other person is having negative emotions. Therefore, silent speaks when words cannot.
Secondly, body language is a nonverbal communication, where thoughts, intentions or feelings are expressed by physical behaviour, such as facial expressions, eye contact, hand gestures, body posture and body movement. Without these actions, we might not be able to understand the emotion of the person who is talking to us; whether they are happy, sad or mad. Moreover, sometimes body language may even help us to detect whether the person is telling us the truth or not.
Finally, even though texting is verbal communication, those little smiley, sad and angry face icons used to show various emotions, also known as emoji’s or emoticons are non-verbal communication. They have become a way to convey the tone and non-verbal context behind our texts. They also reduce the negative effect in the email messages, by making the same message sound less negative when paired with a positive emoticon.
In conclusion, the ability to understand using non-verbal communication is powerful tools that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean and build better relationships. Therefore, action speaks louder than words.
