These are all important points to keep in mind in our daily dealing with people. Thank you for bringing them up. And I agree on staying aware of cultural differences and how the same things can have different, sometimes maybe even opposing meanings depending which part of the world you are from.

You have provided some excellent cues for us to focus on as we attempt to identify the many different ways we can be deceived in our day to day lives Natella. While some deception we face may be harmless and delivered with the goal of keeping our egos intact, there are times and situations where deception can do real damage in our lives. We could all benefit from a better understanding of the potential contradictions between someone’s verbal and non-verbal communication as we guard against getting the wool pulled over our eyes. I’ll be sure to keep an extra sharp eye out for any Sleek’s and Sly’s in my travels this week.

Body language is very important. But sometimes for people from different cultures/enthnical background the same gesture may have different meaning. And when interpreting body language we should take into consideration this aspect as well.

It is very important to learn to “read” body language. Pretty often only the corresponding gesture or facial expression let us understand the true intention of the speaker. Thank you, Natella, for bringing up this topic.

Ohhh! What a nice example from my favourite movie! I still remember how much I was shocked by inconsistency of Sleek’s words and her tone when I saw this movie being a 7 years old. Thank you very much for the interesting post and for refreshing my childhood memories
