Advantages of Non-verbal Communication
Some of the advantages of non-verbal communication are:
• Non-verbal communication makes our message stronger.
• Proper gestures and postures help us work professionally.
• You can make your message more effective by using the correct gestures when speaking.

and communication accordingly.

Disadvantages of Non-verbal Communication

• No explanation of messages

Brainy Fact
• We can tell a true smile, also called a Duchenne smile, from a fake by looking at a person’s eyes.
• In the United States, it’s normal to smile at a stranger; it is seen as a warm and welcoming sign.
However, in India, this practice is not followed.
Visual Communication
Another important method of communication is visual communication, which involves sending and understanding the
message through images or pictures alone. The main advantage of this type of communication is that you don't need
to know a particular language to understand it. It's simple, easy to understand and stays the same in different locations.
Examples of visual communication include charts & graphs, signs, movies, etc.
