Some people you may make you feel closed off while others make you feel more open and comfortable. How a person decides if a person is using communicative gesture or useful gesture is different for everyone. This section is just to get you thinking about how you distinguish between the two. Also, how you would react to certain gestures (pointing for example).There is a difference between intentional and unintentional gestures. It is important to distinguish between the two in order to be successful socially. For example, playing with your hair in the middle of class might be an example of unintentional gestures.

For example, it may look like someone is making eye contact with you and summoningyou over to them, but in reality they are just zoning out and looking right past you. Distinguishing what people mean by the gestures accurately can take a lot of practice, but do not give up.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Some things are not meant to be understood by outsiders. For example, in Barbados they use clicking sounds and whistles to communicate danger, anger, and other useful things, while in the United States whistling and clicking is purely for entertainment purposes. This does not mean that we were not wired for language, however. Everyone was not meant to understand everything. Did you know that there are about 10,000 facial expressions a person can make? It is unlikely but also possible that these will change over the next generations. Some of these expressions we share with animals. For example, when a wolf feels threatened it lifts its upper lift to show his canine teeth. I may not look as scary on a person, but look in the mirror next time you feel threatened and you will see the resemblance.Finally, laughter could be the result of more than humor. Nervousness and shock are just two of the other things laughter could be
