"People express their emotions and attitudes more nonverbally than verbally." This is true; however, people in different places express their emotions by different nonverbal ways. For example, nonverbal ways' express in China is different from that in America: the ways of say hello.
When the people who knows each other meet in street, they will nod. If they are friends, they may give a huge to each. But in America, they may shake hands, if they are best friends, they will kiss on the face with a huge.
This difference is caused by different cultures. China is a country which has a long history. Its culture is combined with old and young Chinese cultures. Therefore, there must be held some old parts, such as, seniority in the family is important in China. However, that is less important in America because it is a young country.
Even though there are many different nonverbal ways between these two countries, they also have many same ways. For example, the gestures. The "OK" gesture in American culture is same as that in China. Another example, when people shrug their shoulders, it may meas they do not know. This body language is also same. So different cultures also have the same parts.
