Body Language

Body language is an argument very interesting because our body can show to the other people how do we feel, if we are lying or if we are self confident. A way to express our feeling with our body is gesture that can change in different parts of the world: for example the finger up to say "I like it" is considerate good in Italy, but non in England because it has the same meaning of the "middle finger gesture". When a person feels powerful or has won something shows his superiority enlarging his body like to say "I've did it. I'm powerful!"; is different when a person feels shy or not powerful: in this case the subject tends to close himself for a sense of inferiority. This situation can be evident in a classroom during an interview between teacher and student: if the student has studied will be self confident and quiet; if the student has not studied will close himself touching his neck and maybe crossing his arms.

Why people belive in paranormal?

Richard Wiseman loved card tricks when he was a child and he became an accomplished magician. Later he studied psychology at University and this combination meant that he was perfectly placed to analise paranormal. He wrote the book "Paranormal: why we see what isn't there?" in which he explain the reason of some phenomenon like the "Out of the body experiences" or "OBEs" and of the star sign. About the star sign and horoscope Richard Wiseman says that we're sort of hardwired to belive in it because the idea of resolution of ours problems is in the stars is very actractive, so along comes an astrologer who says "I can say you what's going to happen". About the OBEs, this are like dreams out of the body in which we see the world without moving from the bed. Richard Wiseman explains that this OBEs happens when you stay perfectly motionless or you are on effect of drugs, if you have a good immagination you can see yourself thoug another prospective and if you are very able you can "walk" around.
