1.
Each
society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviours, and social habits.
These give people a sense of who they are, how they should behave, and what
they should or should not do. These 'rules' reflect the 'culture' of a country.
People become conscious of such
rules when they meet people from different cultures. For example, in some
cultures, being on time can mean turning up several hours late for an
appointment, even for a business meeting; in others, 3 p.m. means 3 p.m. Also,
the rules aboutwhen to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans
and Europeans are used to having three mealtimes a day and organizing their
timetable around them. In some countries, on the other hand, people often do
not have strict rules like this - people eat when they want to and every family
has its own time table.
When
people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised
at the differences that exist between their own culture and that in the other
country. The most common way of comparing two cultures is in terms of their
differences - not their similarities.
