This research used two theoretical approaches, namely George Herbert Mead's sociological theory and Mats Alvesson's Cultural theory. To analyze the data, this research used three main theories, first is Herbert Blumer's Symbolism Interactionism theory, second is Rolland Barthes' semiotic theory, third is Herbert C. Kelman's Social Influence theory. The results of this research show that word symbols, gestures, body movements and facial expressions always have meaning.
