The
Ultimate Gesture
According to Roger G. Axtell, the "ultimate gesture"
carries certain welcome characteristic unlike any other single gestures.
• First, this "ultimate gestures" is known everywhere-
and I stress "everywhere"- in the world. It is absolutely
universal.
• Second, it is rarely, if ever, misunderstood. Primitive tribes
and world leaders alike know and use this gestures. The tribesmen
- like you, no doubt - recognize it in others and use it themselves.
• Third, scientists believe this particular gesture actually
releases chemicals called endorphins in to the system that create
a feeling of mild euphoria.
• Fourth, as you travel around the world, this gesture may help
you slip out of the prickliest of difficult situations.
What is this singular signal, this giant of all gestures?
It is quite simply, the smile.

Object
Communication
The most common form of object communication is clothing. The types
of clothing that people wear are often used to determine their personality
traits, though this is considered a form of stereotyping. Social groups
often use a common form of clothing to set themselves apart from other,
presumably unaligned social groups. A good example of clothing as
object communication is the uniform.
Object communication extends beyond clothing to other body adornments,
such as wedding rings or bindis to indicate marital status, tattoos,
piercings, and brands. Also included in object communication is anything
used as a status symbol.
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Object-oriented analysis and design applies object modeling techniques
to analyze the requirements for a context (e.g., a system, system
modules, organization, or business unit), and to design a solution.
Most modern object-oriented analysis and design methodologies are
use-case driven across requirements, design, implementation, testing,
and deployment.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the standard language
used in object-oriented analysis and design.
