This document discusses non-verbal communication and its influence from context and culture. It notes that non-verbal communication accounts for 80% of face-to-face interactions. It then lists and provides examples of different non-verbal cues like body language, gestures, expressions, posture, proxemics, eye contact, touch, paralanguage, and appearance. These non-verbal acts are shaped by situational and cultural factors.
