t them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surpri sed. Tony aproached Juli a, touched her shoul der and ki ssed her on the chek! She stepped back appeari ng surpri sed and put up her hands, as i f in defence. I guessed that there was probabl y a m ajor mi sunderstandi ng. Then Aki ra N agata from Japan cam e i n smi li ng, together wi th Gee Cook from Canada. As they were i ntroduced, Gee reached hi s hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that m om ent, however, Aki ra bowed so hi s nose touched Gee’s movi ng hand. They both apol ogi zed another cul tural mi stake! Ahm ed Azi z, another i nternati onal student, was from Jordan. When we m et yesterday, he m oved very cl ose to m e as I i ntroduced m yself. I m oved back a bi t, but he cam e cl oser to ask a questi on and then shook m y hand. When Darlene Coul on from France cam e dashi ng through the door, she recogni zed 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. Ahm ed Azi z, on the contrary, sim pl y nodded at the gi rl s. Men from Mi ddl e Eastern and other Musli m countri es wi l often stand quite cl ose to other men to tal k but wi l usual l y not touch wom en. As I get to know m ore i nternati onal fri ends, I l earn m ore about thi s cul tural “body l anguage”. Not al cul tures greet each other the sam e way, nor are they fortabl e i n the sam e way wi th touchi ng or di stance between peopl e. In the sam e way that peopl e m unicate wi th spoken language, they al so express thei r feel i ngs usi ng unspoken “l anguage” through physi cal di stance, acti ons or posture. Engl i sh peopl e, for exam pl e, do not usual l y stand very cl ose to others or touch strangers as soon as they m eet. However, peopl e from pl aces l i ke Spain, Ital y or South Am eri can countri es approach others cl osel y and are m ore l i kel y to touch them. Most peopl e around the world now greet each other by shaki ng 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 in whi ch cul tures have devel oped. I have sen, however, that cultural custom s for body l anguage are very general not al m em bers of a cul ture behave i n the same way. In general, though, studyi ng i nternati onal custom s can certai nl y hel p avoi d di ffi culti es in today’s worl d cul tural crossroads! Showi ng our feli ngs Body l anguage is one of the m ost powerful s of m uni cati on, often even m ore powerful than spoken l anguage. Peopl e around the worl d show al l knds of feel i 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 muni cati on. O f course, body l anguage can be m i sread, but m any gestures and acti ons are uni versal. The m ost uni versal faci al expressi on i s, of course, the smil e – it ’s function i s to show happi nes and to peopl e at ease. It does not al ways m eans that we are truly hapy, however. Sm il es around the worl d can be fal se, hidi ng other feel ings l i ke anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smi l es, such as when som eone “l oses face” and smi l es to hi de i t. H owever, the general purpose of smi li ng i s to show good feli ngs. From the tim e we are babi e, we show unhappi ness or anger by frowni ng. In m ost places around the worl d, frowning and turni ng one’s back to som eone show anger. Maki ng a fist and shaki ng it al om ost means that som eone i s angry and threateni ng another person. There are m any ways around the worl d to show agrem ent, but nodding the head up and down s for agreem ent al m ost worl dwi de. Most peopl e al so understand that shaki ng the head from si de to si de m eans di sagreem ent or refusal. H ow about showi ng that I am bored? Loki ng away from peopl e or yawni ng wi l , in m ost cases, make m e appear to be uni nterested. H owever, i f I turn toward and l ook at som eone or som ethi ng, people from almost every culture wi l think that I am interested. If I rol l my eyes and turn my head away, I most l ikel y do not bel ieve what I am heari ng or do not l ike it. Being respectful to people is subjecti ve, besed on each culture, but in general it i s probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it i s not usual y good to stand too close to som eone of a hi gher rank. Standing at a li ttl e di stance wi th open hands wi l show that I am wi l ing to li sten.
