I would argue that body language is really a language. The definition of language is a typically human ability to communicate through complex systems. How one's body "speaks" is certainly a complex form of communication. Our body's communicate through shape and proximity, if we feel uncomfortable, we make ourselves smaller and closed in for comfort and safety. We also physically step back away from dangerous or uncomfortable situations because of our instincts of fight-or-flight. If we are engaged, we lean in and are open in our positioning. If we are romantically inclined to someone, we will positions ourselves as close as possible to the person and make ourselves open, even our feet will point to them. Other people can view our body and see how we are truly reacting. While we may be verbally speaking one thing, our body actually "says" the truth.

1. For Europeans, the most important consequence of the Mongol conquests was:
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A) the commercial links it established between Europe and the Far East along the Silk Road.

Explanation:

The Mongol expansion helped to reestablish the silk route, which made it easier for a Venetian explorer named Marco Polo to have access to the silk route and be the first European to cross that path and open this market between China and Europe. This allowed many trade agreements to be established and many products between the two continents to be sold. In this way we can see that the Mongol invasions on the Asian continent between 1215 and 1360 strengthened the commercial links that it established between Europe and the Far East along the Silk Road.

In paragraph 8 the author describes the university today as broader and more inclusive tell what you think the word inclusive me
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Inclusive : tries to include many different types of people and treat them all fairly and equally.

Explanation:

For example, in the past, women were not allowed to attend schools.  Nowadays universities are for the most part inclusive, some of them can be private and some of them public, but as long as you have the necessary credits to get in (and sometimes the money) you could get into almost any university in the world.
