2. Body language:In our daily lives we encounter many forms of body language gestures, these are a few examples:
Stress: shaking of legs.
Lying: Face turned away, no eye contact, or looking to the left (fabricating information). Also wiping hands on pants to get rid of sweat or fidgeting with hands.
Aggression: Clenched fists, squaring of shoulders, stiffening of posture,tensing of muscles.
Anxiety: Massaging temples, different than normal breathing rates, hunched shoulders, nervous head movements.

3.Body language is a product of both genetic and environmental influences. Blind children will smile and laugh even though they have never seen a smile. The ethologist Irenaus Eibl-Eibesfeldt claimed that a number of basic elements of body language were universal across cultures and must therefore be fixed action patterns under instinctive control. Some forms of human body language show continuities with communicative gestures of other apes, though often with changes in meaning. More refined gestures, which vary between cultures (for example the gestures to indicate "yes" and "no"), must be learned or modified through learning, usually by unconscious observation of the environment.

*V字手勢源自於英國，因為V字在英文中代表了Victory,表達勝利的歡欣，用此守勢時須以手指背向自己，但在希臘則必須把手指背向對方，否則就表示污辱、輕蔑對方之意。
*搭便車〈豎大拇指，餘指握拳朝上，大拇指則朝向身體之右方〉這幾乎也快要變成世界共通語言：搭便車。但在希臘，此種手勢正如其他國家的豎中指手勢一樣。
*食指刮下巴這是法國特有手勢，尤其是女性對不喜歡的追求者表示拒絕的表達方式。因為在法語中剃刀與厭煩同義，所以巧妙地以刀手勢表達自己不喜歡的意思。
*OK手勢在大部分國家當中這也成為共同的世界語。以英文字母O和K連結而成。表示沒問題，一切就緒之意。但是在法國南部:OK手勢則表示零，表示某件事情根本不值得一提，表示不贊成之意。在中東以及非洲地區，OK手勢則象徵洞，有明顯同性戀的涵義。
*點頭搖頭絕大多數的國家都是以點頭方式表示贊同。但在印度、尼泊爾等國則以搖頭表示肯定，也就是一面搖頭，一面面露微笑表示贊成、肯定。
