I thought that this was very interesting and goes along with our study of non-verbal communications in chapter 6. In the chapter it talks about facial expressions and the face as a revealer of emotions. FACS is a system used to read a person facial expressions and involuntary facial muscle movements. Police interrogators can go through FACS training to become experts in reading facial expressions. Facial expressions are important sources of information about a group's emotional climate and are very important in understand communication between group members. You can tell a lot by the expression on someone's face and I think it is important to pay attention to those nonverbal communication signs.
