ed hi s hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that mom ent, however, Aki ra bowed so hi s nose touched Gee’s m ovi 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 met yesterday, he m oved very close to m e as I i ntroduced m ysel f. I m oved back a bit, but he cam e cl oser to ask a questi on and then shook my hand. When Darl ene Coul on from France cam e dashing through the door, she recogni zed Tony Garci a39。 s sm il ng face. They shook hand and then ki ssed each other twi ce on each cheek, since that is the France custom when adults 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 Muslim countri es wi l often stand quite close to other men to tal k but wil l usual y not touch wom en. As I get to know m ore i nternati onal friends, I learn m ore about thi s cultural “body l anguage”. Not al l cul tures gret each other the sam e way, nor are they fortable i n the sam e way wi th touching or di stance betwen people. In the sam e way that peopl e muni cate wi th spoken l anguage, they al so express thei r feeli ngs using unspoken “l anguage” through physical distance, acti ons or posture. Engl ish people, for exam pl e, do not usual y stand very cl ose to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, peopl e from places li ke 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 people around the worl d now greet each other by shaki ng hands, but som e cul tures use other greeti ngs as wel l, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow. These acti ons are not god or bad, but are sim pl y ways i n whi ch cul tures have devel oped. I have sen, however, that cul tural custom s for body l anguage are very general not al l m em bers of a culture behave i n the sam e way. In general , though, studyi ng i nternati onal custom s can certainly help avoi d diffi cul ti es i n 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 m ore powerful than spoken l anguage. Peopl e around the worl d show al knds of feeli ngs, wi shes and atti tudes that they mi ght never speak al oud. It i s possi ble to “read” others around us, even i f they do not i ntend for us to catch their 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 i s, of course, the smil e – it ’s functi on is to show happi ness and to people at ease. It does not al ways means that we are truly happy, however. Smi les around the worl d can be fal se, hi di ng other feeli ngs l ike anger, fear or wory. There are unhappy sm il es, such as when som eone “l oses face” and sm il es to hide it. H owever, the general purpose of sm il ing is to show good feli ngs. From the tim e we are babi e, we show unhapiness or anger by frowni ng. In m ost places around the world, frowni ng and turning one’s back to som eone show anger. Maki ng a fist and shaki ng i t al om ost means that som eone i s angry and threatening another person. There are m any ways around the worl d to show agreement, but noddi ng the head up and down s for agreem ent alm ost worl dwi de. Most people also 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, m ake me appear to be uninterested. However, i f I turn toward and l ook at someone or som ething, peopl e from almost every culture wil l thi nk that I am i nterested. If I rol m y eyes and turn m y head away, I m ost li kel y do not bel i 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 culture, but i n general i t is probably not a god i dea to gi ve a hug to a bos or teacher. In alm ost every culture, 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 betwen people, i t is great to have som e simi larities in body l anguage. We can ofen be wrong about each other, so it i s an am azi ng thing 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 with people they m eet. We know that smil e is usual y a si gn that people feel fri endly and hapy, but what i f we don’t know who the new person is? What if we are not i ntroduced by a fri end? What if we are m eeting a stranger in a unfamil iar place? Som etim es peopl e are dangerous and hum ans have to find ways to protect them selves. We have to m ake sure we can trust people we don’t know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous. Showing our hands means that we are not arm ed. In m any cul tures today, the Western custom of shaki ng hands is used. We use our right hand, which i s usual y strong than the l eft one. If we are usi ng our hand thi s way, i n cannot be hol di ng a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, and that the other person can trust us. Not al l cul tures use the handshake, and people i n m any Asian cul tures do not al ways touch another person. The tradi ti onal greeti ng i n Chi na was to cover the l eft hand wi th the right and bow. Japanese peopl e m ight cover one hand wi th other and, dependi ng on whom they are greti ng, bow sl ightl y or quite low. In India ,H indu people joi n their hands i n front of thei r faces and bow thei r heads. A Muslim wil touch hi s heart, m outh and forehead to show respect. Even young peopl e in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they sl ap each other’s hands hi gh i n the。
