The Shoulder Shrug shows submission
The Shoulder Shrug is also a
good example of a universal gesture that is used to show that a person doesn't
know or doesn’t understand what you are saying. It's a multiple gesture that
has three main parts: exposed palms to show nothing is being concealed in the
hands, hunched shoulders to protect the throat from attack and raised brow
which is a universal, sub-missive greeting.

Gestures in Context

the context in which they occur. If, for example, someone was sitting at a bus
terminal with his arms and legs tightly crossed and chin down and it was a cold
winter's day, it would most likely mean that he was cold, not defensive.

Languages -> Palm Gestures
Palm Power invests its user with the
power of silent authority.There are three main palm command gestures: the
Palm-Up position, the Palm-Down position and the Palm-Closed- i Finger-Pointed
position. The differences of the three positions are shown in this example.
Palm up = non threatening
The Power Is in Your Hands given
them an order to move the item and may begin to feel antagonistic towards you,
depending on your relationship with him or the position you have with him in a
work environment.
Palm down - authority
The Palm-Closed-Finger-Pointed is a
fist where the pointed finger is used like a symbolic club with which the
speaker figuratively beats his listeners into submission. Subconsciously, it
evokes negative feelings in others because it precedes a right over-arm blow, a
primal move most primates use in a physical attack.
