COMMUNICATION

All communication does not revolve around language, it happens on so many other levels as well, such as body language and facial expressions. Today I would like to discuss the most important tool of non-verbal communication that is facial expressions.

Facial Expressions are Learned or Hereditary?
The facial expressions we make to show or hide our emotions are hardwired into our brains rather than learned during life, a study has concluded. The U.S. researchers found that blind and sighted athletes made the same expressions when they won and lost.

The faces we pull when we are happy, sad or angry may be passed from generation to generation, according to researchers.

In a research, it was discovered that the blind volunteers had never seen their relatives’ faces before; their facial expressions were extremely alike. The strongest correlation was for the negative emotions.

It shows that smiles and scowls are present in our genes.

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.

That is an extremely smart written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to learn extra of your useful information. Thank you for the post. I will certainly return.
