In Kuwait, when two male friends meet they shake hands and sometimes give a kiss on the cheek, and the same thing between two female friends.But when a male and a female friend they can't do the same, they just greet each other from a distance.When a meeting happens between two strangers they only shake hands.

The meaning of Touch

Touch communication,which also known as haptics,means the study of human touch behavior.Touching is the first sence human used, even by children,when we patted them os stroked them, they explore the world with their hands. There are five important meanings of touch. The first one is the Positive Affect which happens mainly between people with strong relationship, and the most important effects are support,appreciation,inclusion ans sexual interest.The second one is Playfulness, which could be effectionately or aggressively.The last one I'll talk about is Control.Sometimes touch could direct the other person's behaviors, attitudes and feelings like to get someone's attention as if we say"look at me".This meaning also say that the person with higher status is permitted to tooch the person with lower status,like police officer and accused, the police officer can put his arm on the accused back, and the same with teacher and student.

Nonverbal behavior always communicates

It is important to know that all behavior communicates and not to behave is impossible. The nonverbal behavior communicates things to people.

Small movement are important too, mostly in interpersonal relationships, like when two people like each other and when they simply being polite. Stating the way of knowing that might be difficult. Many participant s such that the muscles around the eyes, the degree of eye contact and others constitute the inferences. However, all nonverbal behavior is communicates.
