Chapter 3
1)
Americans generally don’t kiss each other on the
cheeks as an informal greeting – in fact, Americans only shake hands in relatively formal/business situations. The
only physical contact that usually occurs in an informal greeting is hugging,
which is only between relatively close friends and family, and not between two males unless they are very good friends. This is called "personal space" - in every culture, the personal space we have that others usually don't enter, is different. How do your
friends greet each other in your culture? How much "personal space" is usual in your culture?
2)
Shoes are not worn inside Turkish homes, but
slippers are always worn. Rachel
prefers to go barefoot, but Aylin’s mother insists that she wear slippers. Are street shoes worn inside the home in
your home country? Why or why not?
3)
Are there any formalities concerning food in
your native language or native culture?
If so, what are they?
