IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A country’s languages impact national identity and allow for effective communication. Dialects and accents can help identify various subcultures that exist within a country.

The way a country approaches their culture is often reflected in how they spend their collective time, money and energies and may be reflected in the legal system.

The etiquette and customs of a country, such as fashion, family life and business dealings can play a key role in its culture.

Nonverbal communication varies significantly among countries. The firm handshake expected in the United States can be viewed as aggressive in other countries.
