In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person in the eyes when you are having a

conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that person

will think that you are not interested in what he or she is saying. This of course, is not polite. If you look

down or to the side when you are talking, you may appear hiding something, that is, it might seem that you

are not honest.

trying to find the right word. But they always turn immediately back to look the listener in the eye. These

social rules are the same for two women, two men, a woman and a man, or an adult and a child.
