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.
                 •   Knowledge of non-verbal communication helps us understand the reaction of our audience and adapt our behaviour
                    and communication accordingly.
                 •  If the verbal message is blocked by noise, distance, etc., you can use the hand gesture to exchange the message.


                 Disadvantages of Non-verbal Communication
                 Some of the disadvantages of non-verbal communication are:
                 •  Lack of formality
                 •  Culture oriented
                 •  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.
