         Nonverbal communication, or body language, is used everywhere in the world, for it is a very powerful means of communication, and  it communicates much more than spoken words.
        One example of nonverbal communication is what occurs between parents and child. Parents smile at their child. They communicate love, acceptance, and reassurance; moreover, the child feels comfortable and safe. Furthermore, the smile signifies approval, so the child is happy and well adjusted.
              Another example of nonverbal communication is the image a person shows in public. A woman is walking alone on an unfamiliar and possibly dangerous street. She wants to appear confident, so she walks quickly. Although  she may be tired, she walks with her shoulders straight and her head held high. In addition, her eyes are focused straight ahead. Someone is looking at her, so she returns the glance without hesitation. In contrast, a nervous woman appears afraid. For example, she walks slowly with her shoulders and eyes down.
              Indeed, body language can express more than spoken language. For instance, merely by raising an eyebrow, clenching a jaw, and softening the eyes, so a person can express disapproval, anger, or love. Otherwise, it is a very strong method of communication.

Also, because millions of Russian men were away in the military during World War II, Russian women filled their places at work. Although Soviet women worked full time at their jobs, they also had the primary responsibility for taking care of the family. As soon as they finished their work, they had to shop, cook the evening meal, and perhaps wash, iron, or mend the family’s clothes. US women started to demonstrate that they could do the work of men during World War II.
