Blog Assignment 3

There are masses of ways to communicate each other, and there are a lot of discrepancy between countries and counties.

 

For example, the "body bubbles". 

 

In my country, China, usually we don’t care about distance we should keep. There was a story happened to my friend. When she first time came to US, she met a couple with a little baby in the baby-stroller. Sometimes when we think a little kid is very cute, we will touch his or her face and say, ”How cute you are!” So my friends just touch the baby’s face and commend the baby’s out-looking. Then the parent looked at her unhappily. My friend was totally confused. As time goes by, she realized that that action is very impolite to someone you don’t know.

That is the big difference between the United States and China.

There is also another difference. The first time I came to the United States in Phoenix, Arizona, Everyone was smiling to me, even if we never met before and probably won’t meet. But in China, every people who walk on the road will show a porker face to others. If you smile to everyone, they may think you are a freak.

 

Every country has its own culture and own custom.

 

If you are scared of someone, you are not dare to look his or her eyes directly. That’s the common rule in both China and the United States. Liars may worry about if people can read their secrets. So if you talk to some people but do not look in their eyes, they may think you are impolite, you are unconfident, or you are a liar.

In conclusion, body language is one of the most ways to communicate people. Even a small gesture can cause a big conflict.
