1- Once people talk to each other, they usually have eyes contact. From the eye contacts, it tell us we are sharing the information as a feedback. For example, if were talking to the person without sharing the eye contact with him/her, it will consider as a bad behavior. The person that I did not share my eye contact is my teacher. Instead of talking to her directly, I was looking at the table, and she felt like I am ignoring her. It was bad behave from me.
2- I know her very much. She is my teacher. 4.
3- When I was talking to my teacher, she was looking at the table continuously. She was wondering what is on the table. After that, she asked me. What was I am looking at? I told her that I am doing my assignment.
4- On this experiment, I
realized that the power of conformity is very effective when it comes to social norms. In this case, my teacher responded through the situation. She understand that something caught my eyes because I was not sharing the eye contact with here. If it was the opposite, she would not feel that there is something distracting me while I’m talking to her. To conform the social norm it may consider good or bad. It is good to have the conformity because we have the same rules and that help us to get along from each other. If we are not conforming the social norm, that my seen as a bad behavioral. It could be end up to misunderstanding and rude of the situations. I was at the restaurant ordering my meal. The person, who was taking my order, was looking at the cashier machine instead of looking at me. The message from the person as I am not comfortable with you take your meal and go. It was severe and disrespectful. And this is a good example of not conforming to social norm. however, the power of conforming to social norm is very important in our life because if we do not conform to each other, it might consider as strange and receptive in the community.
People want full attention and full eye contact, to ensure interest in the topic being discussed. I discovered that when I would talk to someone with my back completely turned to someone was when they were offended the most, rather than when I just didn’t make eye contact but was faced in their general vicinity. I think that most people reacted negatively towards this experiment because of the social norm that involves being polite and attentive towards a stranger. Being rude to someone whom I’ve never met before for no reason broke the common social norms of politeness. From this experiment I learned that it is greatly important to make eye contact with someone during any type of conversation. If not, it is seen as very rude and will result in negative reactions or attitudes, and give the impression to whomever I am engaging in conversation that I am not interested in what they are saying to

By using observation method, a wide variety of behavior can be recorded. Picking through the garbage on the side of the road can reveal behaviors of fast-food customers, or sitting for only one hour in the university canteen can understand the gender differences in choosing (diet) meal, or even watching the customer’s behavior from deciding which yogurt to be taken off its store shelves in the supermarket can also answer the question: Are the customers be attracted by its appearance or flavor or price or brand or nutrition? The aim of this observation assignment is to evaluate and explain the different types of interactions between individual and groups present, as well as the environment in which these interactions take place. The field observation was conducted at the Vietnamese fast-food restaurant named “We love Banhmi” in Budapest, and the role adopted, was that of observer as a non-participant. Group structures as well as overall activity, patterns of behavior, and the duration and timing of such behaviors and interactions were observed and recorded. Sociological concepts pertaining to age, gender, and appearance were also noted and applied.

During the interview I found that I was able to keep continuous eye contact at appropriate times, especially when probing the client about the trouble she was having. Showing that she had my full attention and I was sincerely interested and wanting to know more. The only difficult aspect of this non-verbal communication technique, I felt, was that trying to fill out documentation distracted my eye contact as I was trying to be attentive to the client, but still trying to record all the important information. Stickly (2011) informs that the occasional breakage of eye contact is appropriate as staring can become intrusive and if the client is distressed or looking down ensure your engagement through the use of eye contact is waiting for them. Harvey and Park (2012) explain that retaining eye contact is way to express respect in most westernised cultures, but others may find this disrespectful, ...
Nonverbal communication is rich in meaning. Everyone communicates through nonverbal gestures and motions. I realized that you can decipher a lot from an individual or individuals by just paying close attention to what they do, and that words are not really necessary. Watching two people interacting, I figured that they are really close by their space communication, eye language, and body movements.
What exactly is the Female Gaze? The Female Gaze can easily be defined by three statements. Firstly, women have control of the viewpoint (in other words “Do the looking”). Secondly, the women control and enjoy their bodies and sexuality. Thirdly, the female body emphasizes maternal function, strength, and power. However, while discussing Real Women Have Curves (for the selected scene) I would only like to use the first two.
Eye gaze is essential for evaluating the following objects: liking and attraction, attentiveness, competence, social skills and mental health, credibility, and dominance (Kleinke, 1986), these evaluations provide information about the target of another person’s attention and expression. Therefore, eye gaze helps to obtain information about communicative intentions and future behaviour (Baron-Cohen, 1995). Moreover, according to Patterson’s distinguish between communicative behaviours and indicative behaviours in 1982, only communicative behaviours are driven by a goal or purpose. Thus when infants are using eye gaze for communication, they are subjective to process the information transition. This statement also be demonstrated by many studies. For instance, D 'Entremont and his colleagues tested 24 infants form 3- to 6-month-olds in 1997 and they found that 73% participants followed the adults’ head-turn behaviour to change the direction of their eye
“ I didn’t know what to do or say. I almost always looked down at the floor as I spoke and did not think to make eye contact. If I did look up, I would look at the other person’s mouth as it moved while they were speaking” ( Tammet, 2006, p.74).
A common phrase used about the eyes is that, “the eyes are the window to the soul.” This phrase is not necessarily true; however, it gives a good perspective on how people use eyes to judge a person’s character. First of all, eye contact is a great communication tool and can be used effectively in social situation. Second, a teacher can use eye contact to help their interaction with students. Third, employers want a future employee to have good eye contact to know that the employee is listening and will understand the job they are asked to perform. Eye contact is important and can determine a person’s true thoughts and opinions. The use of eye contact in socializing is important.
Body language in a session is important because it allows the skilled helper to understand what the client is feeling by observing their body movements; this can help the communication in the session. This could help the skilled helper as they could note when the client is feeling discomfort which can lead to the session progressing because the skilled helper would ask them why they are feeling this way. It is important that the skilled helper had good eye contact in the session because it shows the client that the skilled helper is respecting what they are saying and it shows that they value what the client is saying. It is important that the skilled helper has good body language and good eye contact in the session so that the client knows that the skilled helper is there to help them and cares about what their problem is. The client should feel as though the skilled helper cares and by having good body language and good eye contact the client would know this because the skilled helper would be paying attention and listening to what they are saying. In the same way, it is important that the client has good body language and is not slouching so that the skilled helper knows that they want help. Good eye contact can show the skilled helper that the client is respecting what they have to say and is listening to what the counsellor is asking so that they can answer the question
Eye Contact : In the US, UK and much of northern Europe, strong, direct eye contact conveys confidence and sincerity. In South America it is a sign of trustworthiness. However, in some cultures such as the Japanese, prolonged eye contact is considered rude and is generally avoided.
During conversations, I have to put extra effort to maintain eye contact. One of the most important aspect of nonverbal communication is eye contact. The use of eye contact can be one of the most crucial and influential feature of our face. In America eye contact is essential “eye contact serves as a signal of readiness to interact and the absence of such contact, whether intended or accidental, tends to reduce the likelihood of such interactions”(Ruben & Stewart, 2015, 34). Eye contact shows that the person is interested in communicating with you, and has respect and appreciation for you. It gives the conversation a sense of flow. However the lack of eye contact can often seem disrespectful across culture. It is due to cultural comparison present regarding nonverbal communication. Every culture has its own altered
Communication isn’t something we do to others; it’s an activity we do with each other, and sometimes we’re communicating at the very same time. The reason for this is, communication is visual as well as verbal. So if someone you’re talking to is shaking his head in agreement while you’re speaking, than this is simultaneous communication. It could be as simple as someone saying “yeah” while you’re speaking to them on the phone, to speaking in front of a group of people and watching their non-verbal feedback through body language.
I learned a lot about Human Communication in this class when I read the chapter about Nonverbal Communication. Nonverbal Communication is the process of using messages that are not words to generate meaning. I learned that it happens every day. I also learned that is very hard to read or understand depending on the person you are speaking to or with. Verbal and Nonverbal codes work in conjunction with each other. The words we speak or say are used in conjunction six different ways: to repeat, to emphasize, to complement, to contradict, to substitute, and to regulate. I never knew until reading this chapter that we do these things all most every time we communicate. These are things I took for granted until now. I now know that I will pay
