Eye contact
Throughout the history of mankind,people have communicate with body language.In many situations,the way you something is far more important than what you say.
Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication.It can signal friendliness or hostility,interest or boredom,and understanding or confusion.
In Western cultures,maintaing eye contact in conversations is necessary.As a matter of fact,a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of intert.In Spain,Italy and Greece,where people stand close together talking to each other,eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.
In many Asian cultures,avoiding eye contact shows respect.It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.
Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them.For instance,an Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker.A Western speaker might think the man is not intereted.
Eye contact is a subtle thing.Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite,but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.
