Most people do not give eye-contact with people they know or even people they do not know they do a lot. So many people just do not do it which they should at all times.

    We interpret showing respect in social interactions as a cultural value, so we enforce that belief by practicing certain behaviors as a cultural norm (Conley 90). As members of the American society, we engage in social interactions with other members by systematically facing each other and making eye contact. I was interested to observe what would happen if this formulated interaction was changed. In order to breach this cultural norm and be an informal deviant, I conducted a study by engaging in conversations with participants while facing the other direction with my back turned toward them. I continued our conversations normally, acted like nothing was wrong, and noted the reactions of the…

In the Hispanic culture, eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. Verbal and nonverbal communication is learned behavior and difficulties arises when individuals do not communicate in a way that is prescribed by the culture (Giger & Davidhizar, 2013).…

I feel that it’s a very big accomplishment for me, because I know a lot of kids that do not look people in the eyes when they speak to them. I like it when people look me in the eyes while they are talking, so I want to pay them the same respect.

I used to be one of those kids who just wanted to blend into the crowd and not be seen or heard, but now I really don’t mind it.…
