Do you think body language is important?

Body language is a part of communication that very few actually study yet it makes up most of what we use to communicate and is generally much more accurate a judge of meaning than are the words we use. I’m going to share some reasons why body language is so important and then give you a very short quiz to take to see how well you understand its meaning. The important function of body language is to express our feelings about what we are discussing. Body language can help us determine how someone feels about what they are saying. For example, a person may tell her boss that she would be happy to take the account but her body language might indicate that she is actually not at all happy about it. This can be an important tidbit that can help a manager determine who is the best person to handle this assignment. If her heart isn’t in it, she may do an adequate job when another employee might turn this small job into a lifelong client.

Yes, I do. I of course support your ideas. One of the benefits of body language is that it can be used to get difficult messages across without having to use harsh words. For example, when a person does not like another person, it is very difficult to say it directly. But it is easier to do it with body language. The great thing about it is that body language can be interpreted easily, people know what they mean exactly, and they react accordingly. Here are some body language.
- Eye contact
- Posture
- Head Position
- Arm Position Etc.

Communication plays a very important role in professional life and we all need to make sure that we have learned all the aspects of proper communication so that we can progress in our careers. When it comes to communication, we put a lot of emphasis on speech and written communication but we often fail to realize that body language is one of the most important means of communication which tells more about us than the way we speak or write emails. Body language can send a lot stronger signals than words or written text. Since the body language is primarily controlled by the subconscious mind of every individual, so it can actually reveal if there’s difference in what you are saying and what you are actually thinking. However, like everything else you can control you body language and practice it to make sure that your words are in accordance with the body language at all times.

Body language is an understated form of communication which has great effect on how others perceive us. An awareness of body language can help to advance relationship skills and ensure the right message is being conveyed, thus creating greater opportunities for ourselves.
So I think it is very important for me! The greatest benefit of being aware of your own body language is that it allows you to read the body language of others. Generally speaking, the way a person feels at a certain time is likely to be reflected in the gestures, posture and expressions they use. Body language is another word for nonverbal communication. Our emotions, feelings, motives, and thoughts are expressed by the changes in our facial expressions, gestures, posture and body position. Psychologists believe non-verbal communication reveals more than the words we speak. Therefore, body language for actors is very important. Body language tells the audience more about the character your portraying than the words you say or the tone in which you say them.

Yes, I do!.
When we connect with a person, we also have to make it clear to each other
how the content of a spoken message needs to be interpreted.
How we do this says something about the relationship we have with the other person,
or think we have anyway. Often words are inadequate for this purpose.
For instance we do not tell each other that easily how we feel about each other,
or how the words of a message need to be interpreted.
To make the meaning of our words clear we use body language.

Body language, people can show their attitude in what they're saying
and therefore, affecting the overall passion in the speech.
Moreover, body languages and hand gestures are used to describe
what can't be described with language.
Also, people are more affect by
what they see more than what they hear
and therefore, would prove to be a better method of understanding

YES OF COURSE it is important.
It is used especially to express feelings.
For instance if we do not like someone,
it is often difficult to say that directly to the person.
However we can make it clear either intentionally
or unintentionally through body language.
The opposite is also true.
We may say that we're angry through words yet
our body language may be saying loud and clear that we are NOT.

In my point of view, body language is very important especially for disabled people.

Body language is required when we travel to other countries and we can't understand their speaking languages. It help us to survive in other countries as well.

Of course! It's very important. Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they didn’t know is that actual verbal communication accounts to only around 10% (or even less) of the overall means to convey a message. Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or sincerity of people by what they say alone. In fact, words transmitted verbally oftentimes do not reflect what people really think or feel. The only way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. You will never be in the dark again on a person’s mood when you can read their body language! Have you often wondered why some people make you feel inferior, or how some people are able to communicate so completely, often times without uttering a word? In those situations and so many more, the people with the power have learned how to use body language to their advantage, from landing that sweet job to the perfect partner. Have you wished you could read body signals better, notice those subtle cues that could offer you a wealth of information about the person with whom you are conversing? Often times subtle body language signals are missed because we are either not paying close enough attention to the person we are engaged in conversation with, or we simply do not know how to read them. “Body Language: Discover and Learn How to Read Body Language” can give you the inside track on the numerous different types of body language people use everyday. Effective people use 50% body language and 50% verbal language to express themselves.

I think body language is very important
especially when we communicate with other people.
If your body language is good, you will communicate
and understand each other easily and fast
We should keep manner and perform suitablely
not too much. Because if you are over acting,
it might be not perfect.
However, we should consider when we should be over
acting when we should speak softly.

Yes. Body language helps other people to understand what I want to tell them easily
when speaking can't help them understand. Especially when I speak English, the
foreigners don't understand me so I use body language to explain what I said.
Body language can express my feeling. For example, I touch my friend's sholder means
I want to encourage her. Body language can also use for greetings,, such as, hand shaking,
smiling, and waving hand. I often wave my hand for saying hello and saying good bye to my friends.

Body Language is the subconcious way we move our bodies , especially eyes, mouth and hands, when we are addressing other people.

With skill and practice it is possible to learn as much from a person from the way they position themselves, the gestures they make, the faces they pull, the tone of their voice and so on as one can from the words they actually say.

I agree, a person's gestures, eye contact, and posture say a lot, not just about what the speaker is like but also how the speaker is feeling. In fact, kinemics (body language) can contradict a person's words: imagine someone saying, "I love your cooking" at the same time s/he is rolling her eyes. Does it really mean what the words say?

I think body language is very important.
If you act it out in the different way that you say,
the meaning will be definitely changed.
So, you have to be careful to use it.
And you should use it it the polite way.

Body language is very important.It can help the other understand you or you can understand the other although you haven't speak .You can do the action instead the word.
