Japanese culture

I've read a book called which name is “聞く力（listening ability）”.
In this book According to this book, it is usual common for Westerners to look into a parson’s eyes during a conversation, but the Japanese are not to usually don't make a lot of direct eye contact. From the old times, common people must were not allowed not to look at the eyes for of a person of high ranking person. So, it is as a mark of theirs respect This action is a sign of respect.
Perhaps the Japanese culture is to remain unchangeddefeated.

I am not certainly good at looking into a parson’s eyes; however, I should look at speaker’s eyes because it makes this action makes conversing easier us to talk easy.
