Kinesics connection

The connection that I am making to the Chaika term Kinesics.  This term is the style and body motions through communication.  I am connecting this to black girls.  Me being a black girl I have always heard people say that when we talk, especially when we have a attitude we tend to roll our heads and point our fingure.  I do notice that alot of times that this is a way that alot of young girls talk, and it starts young.  I have a 5 year old niece and she seems to have alot of attitude when she is talking.  What this has to do with the term kinesics is that in this particular culure these young girls have a certain style of the way they talk.  I guess my question would be what other type of kinesics do other cultures have?
