As a Filipino, our culture differs in gestures, eye contact and body space from the American culture. Filipino gestures are more of the energetic image type while the American seems not. As for the eye contact, the American culture values eye contact as one of the important material of communication, especially in-person while the Filipino culture does not. Body spaces for Filipinos are not that of a big deal for people’s social life. American’s body space between their people means of something for privacy of one’s personal space. I would think that there is an obvious difference between the Filipino and American culture referring to nonverbal communication. It is because of how they were practiced on communication techniques of early education lives. Thus far, there are some similarities of nonverbal communication between the Filipinos and American culture; the greeting expressions for Filipinos are quite the same set-up to the American expressions. Lastly also, direct contact with each other and how they keep in-touch with one another quite simply. Most of the nonverbal communication styles and approach from different cultures are unique from each another. No matter how vastly the communication is thorough from neither each other nor anything that matters with physical capabilities for communication.
