Functions of non-verbal communication:

Managing of impression and identities:

Before a person opens his mouth to speak, you could guess what he is about to say from his expression and looks, his posture, dress and even you can guess about what he is going to talk through his eye-contact. The person also makes certain impressions for you to guess by using non-verbal cues. One of the primary things for forming impressions is body movement and physical appearance. Non-verbal communication is essential for perceiving others.

For example:

When a person works in an organization, by his dress code he/she discloses his/her identity (Bell,et,al,2018). Also, impressions could be judged by looking at the behavior and attitude of an individual. When a person would be happy, he would behave politely but when the same person would be upset his response won't be pleasant at all. Many times, a guess that we make about specific people with whom we met even for five minutes proves correct just by taking a look at their physical appearance.

Impacts of biased language on attitudes and behaviors:

It has been generally seen that some languages are not at all acceptable. Biased language is a type of language that presents specific information in favor or against a particular person or point of view. Biased language shows a negative attitude for a person's race, religion; ethnicity, age or illness may be intentionally or unintentionally. In professional and academic set up this kind of language is greatly discouraged, and this type of language obstructs cooperation among people.

Significance:

It has a negative impact on an individual's behavior. In the end, communication is unhealthy that generates hate and leads towards the lack of cooperation that ensures the comforts of others. It helps in understanding the impact of subjectivity in communication.

Communication and gender:

2) Gender is one of the most important things that define how a person is going to communicate. There are specific attributes linked with males and females. Being a male, I like to have direct communication in which I use eye contact with the person I speak to.

3) There could be seen a clear difference in the way of communication between males and females. According to Bevan and Sole, traits of masculine communication are, they use to do point communication and use slangs. On the other hand, in the case of feminine communication, it has been seen that their communication is full of emotions. They also use hedges as well.

4) Benefits of androgyny communication:

It enables the speaker to communicate with others (both males and females) without receiving any negative feedback.

It also helps in fluctuating between the two worlds without any problem.

Digital communication:

With the advancement of time, digital communication has become one of the fastest and effective ways of communication (Bevan,et,al,2014). In fact, most of our verbal messages are now being converted into digital instruction as it could be seen that people are nowadays using mobiles and other digital devices for communication. People by looking at the situations define in which way they have to communicate so that they could have a healthy environment. But digital communication creates confusion sometimes so people should be aware of the fact they have to confirm if sometimes confuses them. Secondly, they may become addicted to digital communication that may distract them from the real goals.

For becoming a better communicator, one should use such a language that won’t be confusing for the other participant of communication and people should give a limited time and should try avoiding becoming an addicted of digital mediated communication. For better communication, one should become a good listener as well so that he could understand other’s point of view clearly.
