Eye contact
Definition of eye contact
Eye contact is a non-verbal communication. It means one person looking directly at another person’s eye.
Eye Contact in the United States
If you have good eye contact with a person, it generally signifies that you are interested in the person you are looking at and in what he or she is saying.
If you look down or away from a person while he or she is talking to you, you are considered to be distracted or uninterested in him or her.
Also, if you neglect to make eye contact with a person, you may be thought to lack self-confidence.
A person who makes eye contact with another person is thought to be confident and bold
In summary, making eye contact is generally considered a good thing in the United States.
Eye Contact in Western Europe
Eye contact is a custom in Western Europe, especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany
It is considered proper and polite to maintain almost constant eye contact with another person during a business exchange or a conversation
In some cases, using eye contact in Europe is very different with the U.S
In the U.S., people often avoid eye contact in crowded impersonal public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation.
In France, a stranger may feel quite free to look at someone he is interested in and try to show his interest by making eye contact.
To sum up, it is important for a visitor to understand the full implications of what his or she partner may be implying by returning the eye contact initiated by the partner
Eye Contact in the Middle East
Eye contact is much less common and considered less appropriate in many of the cultures than it is considered in the USA.
Middle Eastern cultures have strict rules regarding eye contact.
These rules are connected to religious laws about appropriateness
Western women traveling in Muslim areas should not expect that no man will attempt to make eye contact with them
Eye Contact in Asia, Latin America and Africa
Eye contact can be taken as a challenge of authority .
It is often considered more polite to have only sporadic or brief eye contact, especially between people of different social registers (like a student and a teacher, or a child and his elder relatives).
The rule of thumb is to be careful about the eye contact you make with anyone that could be seen as a social superior. Staring at a superior will be seen as a challenge or a sign of disrespect
Eye is the window of the soul. Thus, visual contact is a powerful means of communication. To avoid misunderstandings, you must know the culture he or she is interacting with and accordingly has to adapt the eye contact.
Ex: if a Japanese woman avoids looking someone in the eyes, she is not showing a lack of interest nor a lack of self-confidence; instead, she is being polite, respectful and appropriate according to her culture.
In China, children show respect to elders by not making intense eye contact

The origin and definition of handshake
Comes from medieval Europe, where kings and knights would extend their hands to each other, and others hand as a demonstration that each did not possess concealed weapons and intended no harm to the other.
A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp one of each other`s opposite hands, and most cases accompanied by a brief up and down movement of the grasped hands.
Hera and Athena handshaking , late 5th century BC,acropolis museum, Athens
Antiochus I of Commagene, shaking hands with Heracles 70-38 BC, British Museum
Funerary stele of Thrasea and Euandria. Marble, ca. 375-350 BC. Antikensammlung Berlin, Pergamon Museum, 738
Various ways and its meaning of Handshake

This is the favorite handshake of politicians Because it implies a quick sincerity and intimacy. This person is trying to sell you something that`s not really there, e.g., "we`re great buddies." He or she would probably not make a good salesperson because other people will tend not to trust this "used car salesman" shake
The Push-Off
At the end of the shake, your hand is pushed away.
It could be read as a negative message
