Gestures are basically actions that are produced with the intent to communicate without
talking i.e. expressing the message using fingers, hands, and arms. Gestures could
mean different in different cultures.
Looking at this
picture what do you think she is trying to say? Well every North American would
say 'Good Luck to
you.' But in Iran this gesture would outrage people as it means ‘Screw You’. So
whenever you are in another culture make sure you are using the right gesture
or you might invite a conflict.
