Body language: genetic or learnt?
This is an amazing project ” Genetic portraits” by Ulric Collette
A photographic research work on genetic similarities between members of the same Family.
There’s an old ongoing question and discussion, which never will be answered I think. It’s the question if body-language is genetic or social-learned.
Or the question what was earlier in the world: …………

如果能从失败中汲取教训，失败亦是成功。
Often people fear that they’re lost when they feel that efficiency and money as highest values. This happens often especially when you’re brought up in a culture of high discipline. In such an education, under such a development or in such a culture there’s no space for failure.

Unconscious body language of couples
While sleeping people usually behave very spontaneously. They are as they are, not self-controlled, not posing or doing anything special. Also while sleeping a couple behaves in a way that opens a deep insight into their relationship.

Dancing in the park (Journey to China No. 8)
You see them in the parks. Mostly in the morning or later in the afternoon or evening. You see them dancing. You see them enjoying and you’re aware of a very big difference in bodily expression.
On the one hand, often when you see Chinese people, they seem to walk and move a bit slowly, feel aggrieved and in a black mood, as if it would be typical for most of the people, typical for the country or a typical character expressed on the body-level.
In contrast to a possible stereotype ……….
