er and ki ssed her on the chek! She stepped back apearing surpri sed and put up her hands, as if i n defence. I guesed that there was probably a m ajor mi sunderstandi ng. Then Aki ra Nagata from Japan cam e i n smil i ng, together wi th Gee Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, Gee reached hi s hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that m oment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched Gee’s m oving hand. They both apologized another cultural mi stake! Ahm ed Azi z, another i nternational student, was from Jordan. When we m et yesterday, he m oved very cl ose to m e as I introduced mysel f. I moved back a bi t, but he cam e closer to ask a question and then shook m y hand. When Darlene Coulon from France cam e dashi ng through the door, she recognized Tony Garci a39。 s smi li ng face. They shook hand and then ki sed each other twi ce on each cheek, si nce that i s the France custom when adul ts m eet peopl e they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the gi rl s. Men from Mi ddl e Eastern and other Muslim countri es wi l often stand quite cl ose to other men to tal k but wil usual y not touch wom en. As I get to know m ore international friends, I learn m ore about this cultural “body l anguage”. Not al l cul tures gret each other the same way, nor are they fortabl e i n the sam e way wi th touchi ng or di stance betwen people. In the same way that people m uni cate wi th spoken l anguage, they also expres their felings using unspoken “l anguage” through physical distance, acti ons or posture. Engli sh peopl e, for exam pl e, do not usual y stand very cl ose to others or touch strangers as son as they m eet. H owever, peopl e from pl aces l ike Spai n, Ital y or South Am erican countri es aproach others closel y and are m ore li kel y to touch them. Most peopl e around the worl d now gret each other by shaking hands, but som e cul tures use other greeti ngs as wel , such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow. These acti ons are not good or bad, but are sim ply ways i n whi ch cul tures have devel oped. I have seen, however, that cul tural customs for body l anguage are very general not al m embers of a culture behave i n the same way. In general, though, studying internati onal custom s can certainly help avoid difficul ties in today’s world cultural crosroads! Showi ng our feel ings Body l anguage is one of the most powerful s of m uni cati on, often even more powerful than spoken l anguage. Peopl e around the world show al l knds of feli ngs, wi shes and atti tudes that they m ight never speak al oud. It i s possi bl e to “read” others around us, even i f they do not i ntend for us to catch thei r unspoken m unicati on. O f course, body l anguage can be mi sread, but many gestures and acti ons are universal . The m ost uni versal facial expressi on is, of course, the smi le – it’s function i s to show happi ness and to peopl e at ease. It does not al ways m eans that we are trul y happy, however. Sm il es around the worl d can be fal se, hi di ng other feli ngs li ke anger, fear or worry. There are unhapy smi l es, such as when som eone “l oses face” and smi les to hi de it. H owever, the general purpose of smil ng is to show god feeli ngs. From the tim e we are babi e, we show unhappi ness or anger by frowning. In most pl aces around the worl d, frowni ng and turning one’s back to som eone show anger. Maki ng a fi st and shaki ng it alom ost means that som eone i s angry and threateni ng another person. There are many ways around the worl d to show agreem ent, but noding the head up and down s for agreem ent almost worldwi de. Most people al so understand that shaki ng the head from si de to si de m eans di sagrem ent or refusal. H ow about showi ng that I am bored? Looki ng away from peopl e or yawni ng wi l, i n m ost cases, make m e appear to be uni nterested. H owever, i f I turn toward and look at som eone or somethi ng, people from alm ost every cul ture wi l thi nk that I am i nterested. If I rol l m y eyes and turn m y head away, I most l ikel y do not beli eve what I am heari ng or do not l ike i t. Bei ng respectful to peopl e i s subjective, besed on each cul ture, but i n general it i s probably not a god i dea to gi ve a hug to a bos or teacher. In alm ost every cul ture, it i s not usual y god to stand too cl ose to som eone of a hi gher rank. Standi ng at a li ttl e di stance wi th open hands wi l show that I am wil ing to li sten. Wi th so many cul tural di fferences between peopl e, it i s great to have som e sim il ari ti es i n body l anguage. We can ofen be wrong about each other, so i t is an am azi ng thi ng that we understand each others as wel l as we do! TH E OPEN H AN DA UNICERSAL SIGN When m eti ng peopl e at the airport, m ost peopl e sm il e and shake hands wi th peopl e they m eet. We know that smi le i s usual ly a sign that peopl e feel friendl y and happy, but what if we don’t know who the new person is? What if we are not introduced by a friend? What if we are m eeting a stranger in a unfamil iar pl ace? Som etim es peopl e are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect them sel ves. We have to m ake sure we can trust peopl e we don’t know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous. Showi ng our hands m eans that we are not arm ed. In m any cul tures today, the Western custom of shaki ng hands i s used. We use our ri ght hand, which is usual y strong than the left one. If we are usi ng our hand thi s way, in cannot be hol di ng a kni fe or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, and that the other person can trust us. Not al cul tures use the handshake, and people i n m any Asian cul tures do not al ways touch another person. The traditional greeti ng i n Chi na was to cover the l eft hand wi th the ri ght and bow. Japanese peopl e m ight cover one hand wi th other and, dependi ng on whom they are greeti ng, bow sli ghtl y or qui te low. In。
