Cultural is invisible, omnipresent and learned. It influences nearly every phrase of communication. Nonverbal communication is a very important part of all the communication and it is greatly affected by culture. Many of the nonverbal messages we see are culture specific. Same nonverbal message may have different meanings in different cultures. In order to understand nonverbal language correctly, we must know its culture first.
Nonverbal communication is part of culture. It is shaped and influenced by culture. In turn nonverbal communication in a specific culture is the mirror of the specific culture. Only maintain a right attitude to the differences in cross-culture communication and respond to them correctly can we achieve success in international communication.
