one was obviously done by a beginner ' and the person I was with who had been studying for a long time said 'no no that was done by an expert and I could never do that, that's very hard'. I later discovered that when the Japanese are looking at flower arrangement they see something that we don't see. Because they've been trained in flower arranging and trained in the understanding or appreciation of the art of flower arranging they can appreciate it for its beauty in a way that I was completely unable to see when I first went to the country. 
Think about what this implies for the way that we see beauty. We were both looking at the same object at the same time but they were seeing something completely different. What this implies is that we're all wearing culture tinted glasses if you like. We're looking at things and judging their value from our own cultural backgrounds and our own experience, which is often very different.

Rebecca Fong. We look at things and judge their value from our own cultural backgrounds. No problem with that, of course…. until we meet people who see, judge, and do things differently. Here’s Rebecca again, with comments by Guillermo from Venezuela, Kjung-Ja from Japan and Rajni from India.

You don't actually notice culture very much until you meet someone from another culture. And in the first week or two or maybe even the first month or two, you might not notice any differences; you might get on quite well with that person. But then a misunderstanding might suddenly occur. The reason that something has gone wrong is that your culture and the other person's culture have collided.

When the Venezuelan president came to Spain for an official visit he came to the king in Spain and he hugged him. That’s something that you never never do. You don’t go and hug the King of a country just like that. And the president of Venezuela did it because he’s used to that and for him I’m sure that was the normal thing to do and if that happened with a president and a king that happen everywhere.

One of my husband's colleagues came to the house and he kissed me, kissed me, hugged me you know as a friendly terms. But in Tokyo I'm someone's wife and then someone - westerner  kissing my cheek is an embarrassing thing. I didn't want to embarrass him, so I just accepted and then when I looked at my husband he just pretended - not seeing anything, typical! Rebecca Fong 
We all grow up inside our own cultures and what this means is that we assume without thinking a number of different values, attitudes, beliefs, ways of doing things, ways of saying things which come to us naturally - but the way we do things isn't necessarily the same as the way people in other cultures do them and it's not until something goes wrong that you're going to realise that the way someone else does something is different from the way that you do it.

When I first went to England I was absolutely, absolutely shocked. There were three of us, two of us Indians and there was one English person, who whilst he was talking, right in the middle of the conversation he takes out a banana, peels it and starts eating it. And he's peeling this banana and eating it without even saying excuse me or whatever. We expect to be offered. Tha本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
