While communication is made up of many words, nonverbal communication includes tone of voice, facial expression, hand signals, and head or eye movements. However, they can be equally as important as words in terms of comprehension. When people from different cultures misread nonverbal signs, misunderstandings can occur, which can be amusing but sometimes serious. For example, fingers crossed in the United States symbolize “good luck! ” or hope something will be successful, whereas, it is considered an impolite gesture in Vietnam, where crossed fingers mean a part of a woman's body.
