Aphrodite the Greek Love Goddess

Aphrodite the Greek Love Goddess Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of affection and magnificence. She was the most wonderful of the goddesses yet was hitched to the ugliest of the divine beings, the limp smithy Hephaestus. Aphrodite had numerous illicit relationships with men, both human and perfect, bringing about numerous youngsters, including Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios, and Aeneas. Aglaea (Splendor), Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Good Cheer), referred to aggregately as The Graces, followed in the entourage of Aphrodite. The Birth of Aphrodite In one story of her introduction to the world, Aphrodite is said to have sprung from the froth that came about because of the cut off balls of Uranus. In another adaptation of her introduction to the world, Aphrodite is supposed to be the little girl of Zeus and Dione. Cyprus and Cythera are asserted as her origination. The Origin of Aphrodite It is felt that the richness goddess of the Near East was imported to Cyprus during the Mycenaean Era. Aphrodites principle clique focuses in Greece were in Cythera and Corinth.

Historical Background and Status

Recorded foundation and status of material designing industry By: S. Chakrabarty Preamble Industrial Revolution in U. K. during 1750 †1850 brought forth Textile Machinery. The strength of India in the field of cotton materials created by talented labor was upsetting the British. Orderly improvement of material industry with turning and powerloom hardware was started in Lancashire and Manchester to debilitate the Indian weavers. Rest is anyway known to everyone how the hardware business was created and sustained by the individual Governments in the UK and later by Germany and Switzerland followed by others in Europe.In India, apparatus produce began during the 50s, proceeded and advanced during 60s and 70s and from there on. The Government arrangement to boycott extension of the sorted out weaving part during late 60s made/bolstered the decentralized powerloom division. A lot of significance to handlooms and low level innovation power lingers in the ensuing years, saving a huge r undown of saved things for handlooms, choked the plant business which lost its drive for inventiveness just as creation for the general population. Low degree of creation in handlooms and low quality creation in powerlooms made us uncompetitive in the resulting years.The Government’s regulative weights on the Mill Industry kept on playing devastation for the weaving business till the presentation of 1985 Textile Policy lastly progressive Industrial Policy in 1991. Improvement and innovation development in the TEI The Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) during the late 60s, 70s and 80s had gotten some Government support as remote coordinated effort endorsements, import help by method of staged assembling program and concessional customs obligation affirmation for imported parts and segments for production of indicated material machinery.Import obligation on segments and parts when all is said in done was extremely high at 85% barring CVD and not favorable for indigenous turn of events. The concessional obligation on imported parts, segments and so on referenced above helped the Industry. The then Government’s approach was likewise strong that no import of hardware was permitted if there was sufficient indigenous creation. The neighborhood material industry in this manner had no real option except to purchase the Indian apparatus. This arrangement helped the TEI to create and produce turning apparatus in the nation of the ideal quality and amount. There was no opposition from outsider.Internal rivalry among different players made the improvement simpler and quicker. Outside producers had no real option except to go into coordinated efforts with nearby makers. This happened in turning as well as in handling hardware.

Why we are better in turning hardware? There was Government support by way of†¢ †¢ Restricted import of turning hardware †for all intents and purposes no import of turning apparatus of a similar innovation accessible indigenously was allowed.No import of recycled turning apparatus was permitted. Import obligation concession on crude materials, parts, segments and adornments for creation of determined apparatus as the import obligation when all is said in done, was high. Furthermore, rivalry among the apparatus makers brought about creation of better quality machines. Explanations behind non-advancement in the Weaving Machinery Sector While the Textile Engineering Industry took up assembling of Spinning apparatus going all out with the satisfactory Government's steady measures referenced over, the equivalent didn't occur if there should be an occurrence of weaving machinery.During 60s (preceding 1970) the Industrial Policy precluded the sorted out plant part to grow their weaving limit. This was maybe to help work age in the towns by the decentralized and scattered handl oom division. It was because of this off-base strategy, the unapproved powerloom bunches began picking up grounds. Indeed, even huge numbers of the handloom groups began changing over into powerlooms. Since the residential interest for textures was developing quick because of the populace development, the powerloom segment in various pieces of the nation began developing quick while the handloom area began contracting actually. The truth of the matter is as yet not acknowledged by the Government). Today, there are more than 20 lakh powerlooms yet handlooms, may not be in excess of 8 lakh, if not less! During 70s the sorted out plant division was permitted to supplant standard powerlooms via programmed looms and shuttleless weaving machines 4:1 premise. Be that as it may, obligatory assembling of controlled fabric by the plants segment hosed the soul of the factories segment. Controlled fabric conspire was discarded during 80s. Desire for a decent interest because of substitution arr angement provoked the assembling of programmed lingers by M/s.Cimmco, Gwalior in a joint effort with M/s. Sakamoto, Japan and M/s. Mafatlal Engineering Co. in a joint effort with M/s. Ruti, Switzerland during 70s. In the late 70s M/s. Lakshmi Automatic Loom Works Ltd. (LALW) began producing Ruti 'C’ Type of programmed loom in a joint effort with M/s. Ruti, Switzerland. M/s. Cimmco just as M/s. Mafatlal Engineering Co. attempted to fabricate shuttleless weaving machines cooperation with M/s. Dornier, Germany, Toyoda, Japan and M/s. SACM, France individually during mid 80s. M/s. LALW additionally began making shuttleless cutlass and airjet looms during 80s.During 80s, the powerloom populace which was not really 7 lakh had developed to in excess of 10 lakhs. The approach of rejecting of powerlooms of the factory business after substitution or conclusion bombed hopelessly, all these powerlooms discovered their way to the decentralized part. The Government had no choice however to regularize all unapproved powerlooms because of political weight after declaration of 1985 Textile Policy and resulting Textile Control Order 1986, getting rid of the deep rooted powerloom license framework. The material strike during 1980s disabled the Textile plant industry in Mumbai and Maharashtra.During this period the composite structure of the plant business broke totally. While the turning area thrived with the cutting edge apparatus, the quantity of working weavers the sorted out factories part contracted extensively and a large portion of the plants thought that it was beneficial to shut down their weaving segment because of terrible economic situation, significant expense of work, low efficiency and extreme rivalry from the powerloom segment. Subsequently, there was for all intents and purposes no interest for the shuttleless weaving machines by the two Companies referenced above which provoked them to shut down their shades one by one.In the interim, because of the weig ht from the decentralized powerloom part the Government had to permit import of recycled weaving hardware which added to the troubles of indigenous producers of shuttleless weavers. M/s. LALW likewise needed to end the creation of shuttleless weaving machines. During 80s and upto 1991 there was defensive market for turning and handling hardware yet not for the weaving apparatus because of high creation cost and import of recycled looms. Activities debilitated after liberalizationThe Industrial Policy declared in 1991 changed the Industry as a rule to an impressive degree. The market got open to the outside makers and there was extreme rivalry. The turning apparatus producers grew up technologywise and capacitywise and there was additionally appeal for turning hardware. The weaving hardware couldn't flourish because of the surge of import of recycled apparatus. There was no limitation on import of recycled weaving hardware when 1991. After 1992, there was no help of the Government ei ther for advancement of weaving apparatus or some other material machinery.In this respect, the main praiseworthy actuality was that we became independent in Weaving Preparatory Machinery viz.

A Seat at the Table by Solange Reading List

A Seat at the Table by Solange Reading List After four years, Solange has finally blessed us with a new full-length album. From the visually arresting album cover to the obvious references to black pride, black empowerment, and the American legacy of racism, A Seat at the Table is an expression of black creativity as black resistance. Her influences for the album include Master P and No Limits Records, Claudia Rankine’s Citizen, and her father, to name a few. In an interview with Stereogum, Solange said, “The idea of having to fully understand where you’re from â€" when I say that, I mean it in a variety of ways, not just your history but some of the family heirlooms and traumas that might have been passed down to you, your overall existence â€" I set out to create a body of work that reflected that.” The singer and Saint Records founder has never been afraid to speak on civil rights issues, continuously using her platform to disavow police brutality and cultural appropriation. When asked about the idea that public figures have social responsibility, Solange told The Fader, “I don’t think it’s everyone’s responsibility if it’s not in their will. But I do feel conflicted when people feel like they may not have that calling, but they speak out against the movement. That, to me, is very problematic. I’d almost rather you just not speak at all.” 1. The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes  by Langston Hughes Like Hughes, Solange uses art to discuss racial identity and racism. The title of Solange’s album is reminiscent of the poem, “I, Too,” especially evoking the line, “Tomorrow, / I’ll be at the table. / When company comes.” For black people, racism and white supremacy maliciously block and prevent even the chance to attain the same opportunities as their white, privileged peers. In a society where anti-blackness would rather see black bodies lying uncovered and exposed on the street in the hot sun for hours, than see black people succeed.   2. Another Brooklyn: A Novel by Jacqueline Woodson Solange mentions that one aspect of the inspiration behind the album is Louisiana. Home, or our idea of home, consciously and unconsciously shapes our personal and public identity. Like her sister, Solange is very vocal about the influences that have shaped her as not only a young woman, but a young black woman. Woodson’s first adult novel in 20 years revolves around four friends growing up in 1970s Bushwick. In an interview with Vogue, Woodson said, “I’m fascinated by adult women who don’t have close friends and how that could come to beI think when you’re a kid, the relationships are so intimate and you’re so connected to your girls, so what becomes of them? What could possibly happen to have you become an adult woman and no longer have that?” Female empowerment via the intimate bonds of friendship and sisterhood is a concept that comes up again and again in Solange’s work, including A Seat at the Table.     3. The Fire This Time by Jesmyn Ward This essay collection curated by 2011 National Book Award Winner Jesmyn Ward couldn’t have arrived at a more necessary time. Calling upon James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, Ward and her contributors speak to the questions raised by Baldwin. What does it now mean to be black in America? Have we learned anything since the Civil Rights era? Or are we repeating tired and familiar patterns of injustice and abuse?   4. The Black Panthers: Portraits from an Unfinished Revolution by  Bryan Shih, Yohuru Williams, Peniel E. Joseph In her interview with Stereogum, Solange talked about how her father inspires her. She said, “That was so affirming to me throughout the process of making this album: Yeah, we have it bad, and it’s all relative, but then I would remind myself of some of the things that my dad went through so that my son could never have to endure those things.” This photo-essay book illuminates the past while showing how the groundwork was laid for future social justice movements such as Black Lives Matter. 5. Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment by Patricia Hill Collins The ninth track on A Seat at the Table, “Don’t Touch My Hair,” is a familiar demand known to black women operating in white spaces. Contrary to the ignorance of naysayers, it’s not “just” hair. Unlike white women, black women are judged for choosing to wear their natural hair. This decision can be met with backlash ranging from facing expulsion from school or losing one’s job. Solange’s activism could not flourished without this seminal text by Hill Collins.

Learn About Causative Verbs

In English grammar, a causative verb  is a verb  used to indicate that some person or thing makes—or helps to make—something happen. Examples of causative verbs  include (make, cause, allow, help, have, enable, keep, hold, let, force, and require), which can also be referred to as causal verbs or simply causatives. A causative verb, which can be in any tense, is generally followed by an object and another verb form—often an infinitive or a  participle—and are used to describe something that happens because of a person, place, or thing whose actions bring about change in another entity. Interestingly enough, the word cause isnt the prototypical causative verb in English because cause has a much more specific and less frequently used definition than make, which is used most frequently to indicate someone making something happen. Allows vs. Lets English grammar is full of small rules that help speakers understand the vast  subtleties of correct usage and style. Such is the case with the rules pertaining to the causative verbs allows and lets, wherein both convey the same meaning—a person permits another to do something—but require different noun-verb form pairings to follow them. The word allows is almost always followed by an object, which in turn is followed by the infinitive form of the verb allows is modifying. Such is the case in the sentence Corey allows his friends to chat with him, wherein allows is the causative verb, his friends the object of the phrase, and to chat the infinitive form of what Corey is allowing his friends to do. On the other hand, the causative verb lets is almost always followed by an object and then the base form of the verb thats being modified. Such is the case in the sentence Corey lets his friends chat with him, wherein lets is the causative verb, his friends the object of the phrase, and chat the base form of the verb Corey lets his friends do. The Most Popular Causative Verb One would think that cause would be the most frequently used and typical example of causative verbs, but thats simply not the case. Ugandan-born British linguist Francis Katamba explains in Morphology that the word cause is a causative verb, but it has a more specialized meaning (implying direct causation) than make, and it is much less common.   Instead, make is the most common causative verb, which also differs from other causative verbs in that it omits the word to from complementary verb clauses that follow while in the active form (make), but does require the word to while in the passive form of made. For example, Jill makes me run daily, and I was made to run daily by Jill. In both senses, the causative verb make still implies that someone causes the subject to run, but English grammar dictates that the accompanying verb phrase for make differs for that of made. Rules like these abound in usage and style, and its important for English as an alternative language (EAL) students to commit these types of guidelines to memory—as they dont often appear in other forms.

Bedroom, An Oil Painting Executed By Vincent Van Gogh

Bedroom in Arles, an oil painting executed by Vincent van Gogh, is currently exhibited in the Art Institute of Chicago (version 1889). A medium-size painting full of transitions of colors and angles, The Bedroom showcases van Gogh’s residence in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhà ´ne, France, where he started extensive cooperation with Paul Gauguin. Although not a realistic reflection of the place he lived, The Bedroom masterfully integrates effects of colors, composition, perspective, and size to convey both a sense of calmness and a taste of excitement--intimacy and vitality. Van Gogh himself once wrote to his brother Theo: â€Å"I have painted the walls pale violet. The ground with checked material. The wooden bed and the chairs, yellow like fresh butter; the sheet and the pillows, lemon light green. The bedspread, scarlet coloured. The window, green. The washbasin, orangey; the tank, blue. The doors, lilac. And, that is all.†[ Vincent van Gogh, Letter to Theo van Gogh, No. 554, October 1888. http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/554.htm retrieved September 29, 2015.] Hence, the Chicago version may be better preserved than the one in Van Gogh Museum as the former maintains original colors intact. Van Gogh is a magician of color application.

Different Types of Human Communication Free Essays

string(43) " and loose rather than scripted carefully\." Different Types of Human Communication Most animals communicate with each other in some way. Dogs bark at those they perceive as a threat in order to communicate their hostility and in some cases the threat that they will attack if provoked; bees have a pouch in which they carry the scent of their hive so as to identify themselves as members of the community. However, it is only in humans that communication breaks off into different types of communication: verbal and non-verbal, and formal and informal. We will write a custom essay sample on Different Types of Human Communication or any similar topic only for you Order Now Verbal communication is just what one would expect from the name: communication using words, and in some cases written characters. There are subcategories for verbal communication, depending on who is at the receiving end of the communication. The main division is between interpersonal communication, in which one person speaks directly to another person, and public or group speaking, in which one person speaks to a large group. From here, the intention of the person speaking breaks it down into still further categories depending on whether they are trying to persuade the listener or listeners to think or act in a certain way, to convey information in the clearest manner possible, or even to entertain. However, in many cases, the intentions of the speaker will overlap: speakers may want to persuade, inform, and entertain their audiences all at the same time. Sometimes, they may even be unaware of what their true intentions are themselves. Non-verbal communication is the type that is more similar to what the dogs and bees mentioned above do. Non-verbal communication includes all the information we convey to others, whether consciously or subconsciously, without actually using any words. Probably the most ubiquitous example of non verbal communication is that of facial expressions. For example, when a person rolls their eyes at someone, they are expressing skepticism about what the speaker said. They are not using any words to convey this message, but using their understanding of the non-verbal cues they can send that message without having to explicitly say, â€Å"I really find what you are saying unbelievable†. Not all facial expressions are so calculated though: there are those like smiles that come naturally when someone is happy, and indicate this to others. Beyond these more explicit examples, there are more subtle instances of non-verbal communication. For example, clothing: just as the male peacock uses a vibrant display of his colorful feathers to signal to a potential mate that he is a desirable choice, people use clothing in order to send messages about themselves (whether they are true or not). In this vein, a man going to a job interview will usually wear a suit and tie in order to convey the idea that he is a very professional person. Unlike facial expressions, this kind of non-verbal communication is more like verbal communication because it is arbitrary – there is no intrinsic reason why a suit and tie should convey the idea of professionalism any more than a Japanese kimono would. It is simply that it has become a cultural norm that a suit and tie is what a professional person wears, and as such it becomes a symbol and a means of non-verbal communication. Formal communication is more strongly associated with large and small group speaking. It is more rule bound, and is more centered on the speaker getting some kind of result. For example, speaking to a board room full of business executives in order to convince them to accept a marketing strategy is an example of formal communication: what is said and how it is said is rule-bound to what is considered appropriate for the setting, and it is directed toward the specific end of getting the executives to accept the ad campaign. Furthermore, their are instances of symbolic non-verbal communication, such as the wearing of business attire in order to appear professional. Informal communication is associated with interpersonal communication. While it is still rule bound by the social norms of the those communicating, there is much more room for the speaker to be free in what he or she says. Informal communication is also much less tied to specific ends: in many cases, it takes place simply for the speaker to express what they think and feel about anything in particular, and the speaking is undertaken as an end it itself. It is a much more emotionally involved form of communication, in large part because there is less emphasis on symbolic non-verbal communication and more emphasis on saying what one really feels. Although these various types of communication are very different, they are all indispensable tools for communicating with and understanding others. In order to be able to look at others and truly appreciate what they are trying to convey and whether what they are saying has any value, one needs to have a thorough understanding of all types. Informal Communication If formal communication is viewed like dressing for a black tie affair, informal communication is like dressing casually and wearing slippers around the house. Much informal communication occurs on a person-to-person basis, in a face-to-face manner, without ceremony or fanfare. Other ways to communicate in an informal manner may include texting, post-it notes, an informal drop in visit to another person, or a quick and spontaneous meeting. Informal communication includes all the various methods of relaying information or messages between people. It often is called â€Å"the grapevine† as messages weave back and forth and around people. There are none of the trappings of formal messages, such as company letterhead, planned meetings or specific introductions of guests. Everyone is relaxed and casual, eager to chat about many things, as there is no specific agenda to follow. This type of communication frequently is oral, and works easily for small groups. The scope of the conversation may be broader than a formal presentation, and include topics that are diverse in nature, free flowing and loose rather than scripted carefully. You read "Different Types of Human Communication" in category "Papers" Unfortunately, informal communication is subject to creating rumors and misinformation due to its loose nature and lack of substantiating evidence. This is the type of interaction that occurs in the workplace as banter between employees, or idle chatting. It is seen as blog entries on the Internet. At colleges, students are encouraged to drop by their professors’ offices as needed, informally. Other informal web communication is seen in diaries, personal email letters, instant messaging, emoticons, online chat rooms and cyberspace bulletin boards. Informal communication also may take a non-verbal form as facial expressions, sign language, or manner of dress. In spoken language, the informal communicative style incorporates the use of the second and first voices. This is in contrast to the use of the third person voice in formal communications. One of the visible signs of informal communication is its natural and easy style, as opposed to being formally regimented. There may be the use of colloquialisms and local slang in the course of speech. It is unconventional and without rules, which is just the opposite of formal. Informal communication is used to help put people at ease. This can be seen in an interview situation where an interviewer such as a paralegal needs to make a little small talk to help get clients to relax, feel welcome and open up verbally. The use of informal language is far more prevalent in society than the use of formal language. Formal Communication Formal communication can be considered as communication efforts that are â€Å"dressed up† to fit customary rules and ceremony For example, in a written letter, the formal communication style will demand that the layout of the piece of written communication follow a specific format that includes the date, header, salutation, body of the letter, close, signature lines and any indicators of enclosures all placed neatly upon company letterhead or personal stationery. By contrast, an informal piece of written communication can be as simple as a jotted note to a friend on a torn slip of paper Formal communications are mostly written, although they may now also include formal presentations that are on computer disk, video tape or DVDs, MP3 presentations and other similar electronic reproductions of written communications. Other forms of formal communications include newsletters, legal advisories, invitations, awards, and letters of congratulations. Non-written formal communication devices are in-person communications in the forms of departmental meetings, telephone calls, conferences and special interviews. Some publications that are devoted to a special purpose, such as a company’s annual report, are formal communications. There is a non-verbal component to formal communication as well. The style and manners of the presenter dictate the formalness of a meeting, and this can be immediately seen at the time of introduction of a speaker. Some elements of non-verbal formal communication include maintaining a certain distance from others, standing above the crowd, speaking in formal tones and using formal means of address to others, such as â€Å"Mister† or â€Å"Doctor† when calling upon others. Colloquialisms, which are freely used in informal communication, are not present in formal communications. Proper English or another language is spoken. Formal communications will follow a chain of command in the flow of the communication, either upwards to or down from managers. The use of formal communication is more prevalent in highly technical areas where a message must be exact and specific, leaving no room for misinterpretation. The written communication is carefully thought out, and planned for a certain effect or result. It often is written in a third person non-personal voice of â€Å"he, she, it, and they† rather than â€Å"I† or â€Å"you† voices. Grammar, spelling and layout are important for written communications, and for spoken communications there is an emphasis placed on the quality of the speech voice and pronunciation. Some formal communications are congratulatory, others can be advisory or informational. Legal papers follow a tightly formatted layout that is customary within the professional and widely used by others. Likewise, scientific research papers have a customary format to follow. Any written communication that is expected to adhere to particular rules can be considered to be formal communication, and the actual tone of the piece may range from friendly to threatening. It can be more demanding and imply expectations to the receiver that should create desired results. Communication through Body Language Communication is how human beings interact with the world that surrounds them. There are many forms of communication, some being more effective at conveying the intent or feelings of the individual expressing than others. Many people have a hard time with communication, and can find it difficult to tell others what they think or to give them bad news. Sometimes, they can’t find the right words to express the things they want to say. There are also those people who are not to be believed due to a history of dishonesty or embellishing the truth. One form of communication, however, is always honest and can always be counted on. Body language is a form of communication that is performed subconsciously. It occurs almost constantly, and will almost always give the correct impression that a person has of someone else, the environment, or the situation at hand. Body language makes it easy to know if someone is nervous, scared, interested, or focused, among many other feelings that could be happening. Learning to read body language can be as simple as paying attention to your own body when feeling specific emotions. For example, if you are able to notice the unconscious things that your body does when you are nervous, then it should be simple for you to be able to see when another person is nervous in a certain situation. Often, reading the body language of another person will tell you more than having an actual conversation would, especially if the conversation has the potential to be uncomfortable or is something that no one wants to acknowledge. On the lighter side of body language communication, it can be a very helpful tool in determining how interested another person is in you. When single people meet for the first time, reading the signs of body language can help you to determine if this person has any interest in you beyond friendship. If on a date, the person leans towards you when you are speaking or has their arms at their sides with the front of their body facing towards you, that is a sign that signifies a true interest in the things you are saying. If, on the other hand, they have their arms crossed, are leaning back in their chair with their back turned towards you, and are avoiding contact, they probably are not interested. These are some good physical indicators that you could be wasting your time. Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication is any kind of communication not involving words. When the term is used, most people think of facial expressions and gestures, but while these are important elements of nonverbal communication, they are not the only ones. Nonverbal communication can include vocal sounds that are not words such as grunts, sighs, and whimpers. Even when actual words are being used, there are nonverbal sound elements such as voice tone, pacing of speech and so forth. Nonverbal communication can be incorporated in a person’s dress. In our society, a person wearing a police uniform is already communicating an important message before they say a word. Another example is a man’s business suit, which is perceived by some as communicating an air of efficiency and professionalism. While each of these cues conveys a message, so does its absence. In some settings, failing to express a nonverbal cue also communicates meaning. A policeman out of uniform is called â€Å"plainclothes† and is seen as deliberately trying to conceal his role. To some, this may make him seem smart or efficient, while others may consider him sneaky or untrustworthy. In the same way, a businessman who does not wear a suit is conveying an air of casualness which some would consider slightly less professional. In the modern world, â€Å"dressing down† implies a relaxation of professional standards that is much more than just a change of clothes. Many cues are based on learned cultural standards, but there are some elements of nonverbal communication that are universal. Paul Eckman’s landmark research on facial expressions in the 1960? s found that the expressions for emotions such as anger, fear, sadness and surprise are the same across all cultural barriers. The setting where communication takes place also lends a meaning to words apart from their literal definition, and constitutes nonverbal communication. For instance, the word â€Å"tradition† means one thing when it is spoken in City Hall, and quite another when it is spoken in a church. The sign of a cross takes on great cultural meaning when used in a religious context, but on a road sign it just means that an intersection is coming up. Some nonverbal communication accompanies words and modifies their meanings. For instance, our speed of speaking and the pauses we place between our words form a nonverbal element to our speech. A slight pause before a word can imply uncertainty or be interpreted as a request for confirmation from the listener, whereas a lack of pauses can be taken as a sign of confidence or the encouragement of a fast reply from the listener. If someone asks you a question in a hurried manner, you will probably get the feeling that they want a similarly quick reply. The use of personal space constitutes a form of nonverbal communication. If someone leans toward their listener as they speak, it implies that they are communicating something personal or secret. Depending on the social nuances of the situation, this may be taken as a sign of friendship or an unwanted invasion of space. The use of touching as an element of communication is called haptic communication, and its meanings are very culture-dependent. In American society, a handshake, a pat on the shoulder or a â€Å"high five† have certain definite meanings understood by practically everybody. In other societies, these might be enigmatic acts or an embarrassing invasion of personal space. The use of the eyes as an element of nonverbal communication is an area of study in itself, and is called â€Å"oculesics. † Researchers have divided eye movements into separate elements such as the number and length of eye contacts, blink rate, dilation of the pupils and so forth. Here again, the interpretation of these cues is highly dependent on the culture of the participants. A prolonged stare may establish a bond of trust, or destroy it. It may elicit a reply from the person being stared at, or it may make them become uncommunicative from embarrassment. This is how most of our communication takes place. When we consider the amount of nonverbal communication that passes between us and compare it with the mere words we say, it is obvious that the nonverbal part is by far the largest.
