Most people want to be polite and behave well around others. Being polite involves
good manners of eating and appropriate ways of greeting and talking to people, and giving
and receiving gifts. Polite behaviours may differ from culture to culture.
In the United States, people prefer to shake hands firmly for a few seconds. In some
Middle Eastern countries, people hold each other’s hands gently for a longer time. What about
eye contact? In some countries, you show respect when you look at someone directly in the
eyes. In other parts of the world, looking at someone directly can be rude. Another difference
is personal space. In North America, people usually stand about an arm’s length apart during a
conversation. However, in Latin America, people seem to stand closer.
If you are going to live, work or study in another country, you should learn about its

making friends and doing business as well.
