find a website, video, or article that provides insight regarding nonverbal markers of your chosen culture and how awareness of these cues is needed. Once you have found that source, summarize the information from that source in this paragraph. Begin the paragraph with the title of the source and where you found it. In the rest of the paragraph, summarize the important elements the source provides.
