Answer 1

Answer: In countries such as France and Greece, individuals touch each other significantly more than in other countries because France and Greece are high-contact cultures.

Explanation: "High-contact cultures" is a term used to refer to a culture in which people tend to touch each other or to stand close regularly. Moreover, members of a high-contact culture generally also make more eye contact than members of a low-contact culture, who are not used to frequently touch each other. In that way, France and Greece, as well as Latin American countries, are high-contact cultures.
