Question

HELP please!

Answer 1

Answer:

it is important to learn how to adress correctly people of different cultures to avoid offending the culture unintentionally. For example if you are used to greeting people by hugging it might seem offensive to other cultures that are used to greeting people by kissing their cheek or by not touching each other at all. Other cultures do not allow men to touch women that are not their husband. By touching this person you could be offending their culture.

When someone is standing too close to me or invading my personal space i would usually tell them to respectfully take a step back. However, if i knew this was due to a cultural norm i would do my best to get educated on it to make the interaction the least uncomfortable and awkward as possible.

Answer 2

Hey! I’ll do my best to help you :) idk if you had to read something before answering this, but these questions seem open ended so here is what I think:


1- Because it allows you to avoid offending someone who might expect a certain degree of deference, protects you from looking too foolish by behaving too formally or too casually, and eschew misunderstandings.


2-(you should add your point of view here) to help you out, here is what I would say:

1st question in number 2: I would ask the person to give me some personal space.

2nd question in number 2: I may act differently, but it depends on the norm the person has to follow.
