Journal #11: Research topic

My research topic is about “Hand gesture”.
I am interested in observing people, and sometimes I would like to sit on the bench of the airport or shopping mall to satisfy my odd hobby. However, in another way, I found that it is necessary to look over the person talking with, especially, if you give a presentation to your audiences, you don’t expect your guests are falling asleep during your speech. I am sure my research is useful to you not even just little, and you will know how important the gesture is when you are talking.
Have you noticed that what the effect is talking to people with the crossing arms? Or, scratch your neck or touch your nose frequently using your hands or fingers when you try you persuade your customers?
And how about this is? If you like skinship, when is the best time to have skin ship with your customers or when is it forbidden?
What can you guess from guests’ reactions? Are they interested? Bored? Agree? Denying?
It might have differences among different countries and culture backgrounds, though there are still existing general similarities.
Those are what I want to research.

  1. I usually use my hands a lot when I talk to friends. If you need some volunteers in order to observe their hands' gesture, I could be your subject for your research. I hope you will complete a research paper about the topic and make your readers happy.
