Week 7 Post 3: Object Language

One interesting thing I found in chapter five was the concept of object language. Object language is defined as, "all intentional and nonintentional displays of materal things, such as implements, machines, art objects, architectural structure, as well as the human body, and whatever clothes cover it" (133). What the authors are trying to describe here is that objects in your person say as much about you as the words you say. If you have tatoos all over your body and piercings in your face and wear all black when you go to geometry class, people may think that you are not as intelligent as the person with short hair and glasses sitting next to you.
