However, it does not serve the purpose of forming discrimination against other people. Non-verbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures are used to convey messages and emotions, establish connections, and create a positive image. Discrimination, on the other hand, involves unfair treatment or prejudice towards individuals based on certain characteristics, which is not a function of non-verbal communication.
