TITLE: Open Discussion (Topic to be determined)

Nonverbal communication constitutes the largest part of communication. It is intertwined with verbal communication; it qualifies, completes and sometimes replaces it completely. Nonverbal communication is information, emotion that is expressed without words and without the help of language. Compared to verbal communication, nonverbal communication is less controllable, but it is more powerful because it carries many emotions and feelings that are often impossible to express in words and sometimes even difficult to understand. Studies prove that nonverbal communication is often much more valuable than verbal communication.

Therefore, we will try to clarify the connection between media, communication, and psychology through debate on various psychological aspects, which perhaps also influence the perception that different individuals have regarding the functioning of communication and its psychological nature.
