Before reading the article I thought that the article would be about how people communicate through eye contact. Eye contact is an extremely important part of human communication. By looking at some one you can read their body language. Sometimes by looking at someones eyes you can even tell what they are thinking.
After reading the article I learned that people use their eyes to communicate more than I thought. "In much of the United States direct eye contact is considered an expression of honesty and forthrightness." Our eyes show people when we are interested or not interested in someone or something. By glancing at someone or something for a longer period of time our eyes show that we are showing or expressing interest. When we look away or do not look at something for too long, as if looking over something, our eyes show a lack of interest. Our eyes are so amazing and beautiful and no one ever realizes this! It interests me to know that our eyes are such an important part of body language and communication.

I feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteRalf, I am very pleased that you learned that eye contact can be another way that people communicate. And yes, eye contact may convey if a person is interested or disinterested in something.
