Whether the eyes are “the window of the soul” is (1 ) ; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. (2 ) the first two months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a (3 ) with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in (4 ) . This attraction to eyes (5 ) opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby (6 ) . In one study, when American four-year-old were asked to draw people, 75% of them drew people with mouths, but 99% of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are (7 ) their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much (8 ) to eyes as they do in other cultures. (9 ) , Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “proper place to (10 ) one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is (11 ) the neck of one’s conversation partner”.The role of eye (12 ) in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for (13 ) one second, then glance (14 ) as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or (15 ) themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away (16 ) . Listeners, (17 ) , keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they (18 ) at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are (19 ) and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will end the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational (20 ) becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.

  • Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: People would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: In a world without friends or enemies ,there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members o£ groups. Society’s economic underpinnings would be destroyed: since there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True, we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object’s physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are “good” and others are “bad”, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society explains our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal and penal system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.
