Similarity and difference the culture in diferrece countries


On Friday 4th July 2008:

In the group discussion had a topic to cpmapre the cultures in each countries were diffrences and similarities, so the results were some cultres are differnce and some cutures are similarity. In the group had 4 different countries; Thailand, Taiwan, Morocco and Japan.

Speaking: In 4 countries are quite difference cause of in Morocco is naturally speaking loudly between friends, familiy included bussiness meeting as well, it is not seem to be argrument but is is ordinarily communication in Morocco and Taiwan agree with the speaking loudly culture as well because most Taiwan people are speaking loundly, it is originally culture on both of countries.
Meanwhile in Japan is not allow to speak loudly and should communicate with slowly and respectable, cause of seniority system and it seem to be polite, as well as Thailand; similar as culture and tradition.

Eatting: 2 coubtries, Thailand and Japan agree that eatting with mouth open is very impolite but some case Japan not agree with making slurp during having a meal.
Because Japanese people believe that while eating noodles or soup all of them are alway slurping noodles and soup, it seem to be fantastic meals as good as Taiwan eatting culture.
However Thailand and Morocco are strongly agree with should not open the mouth or make a noise during the meal.

Emptying the nose: In Japan is emptying the nose is completely rude, the culture force them to do empty nose only the toilets, the same time Taiwan, Morocco and Thailand decided that doing empty nose was ordinarily behavior.

I like the picture you've chosen!

In British English, we don't say 'emptying the nose', we prefer 'to blow your nose'
