章節(jié)摘錄
Posture and sitting habits ofrer insiightinto a culture’s deep structure.In many Asiancultures,the bow is much more than agreeting.it signifies the culture’s concernwith status and rank.In Japan,for example,low posture is an indicator of respect.AI—though it appears simple to the outsider,thebowing ritual is actually rather complicated.The person who occupies the lower stationbegins the bow,and his or her bow must bedeeper than the other person’s.The superior,on the other hand,determines when the bow-ing is to end.When the participants are ofequal rank,they begin the bow in the samemanner and end at.the same time. The manner in which we sit also can corn.municate fl message.In the United States,where“casualness”is considered a greatvirtue,people often sit with feet on chairsor even desks.They sometimes sit with theirbacksides(buttocks)on tables and desks as flway of expressing their individuality or care-free attitude.Slumping oneself over whilesitting in a chair and placing feet on what—ever object around is a common U.S.behavior.it is intended to show that the person iscasual,honest,sincere,and‘just one of thefolks.”In the United States,even millionaires,corporation presidents,government leaders.and movie stars try to pretend they are ordi-nary people by using“the U.S.slouch”and“the feet—on-the—furniture”maneuver, Unfortunately,people of other countries may interpret this behavior as being sloppyand as reflecting a general lack of alertness,interest,and respect.Americans do not USU—ally realize that what they think of as casual——ness is viewed very differently and very nega?tively by many people around the world.People in many cultures are expected to sit erect.Such cultures include many countriesjn Latin America,Asia,Europe,and the Middle East.For instance.in countries such as Ger.many and Sweden,where lifestyries tend tobe more formal,slouching is considered a sign of rudenes、s and poor manners. In the United States,crossing legs is a sign of good etiquette.Americans feel com-fortable crossing their legs and sitting with one ankle on the other knee.Many cultures say that crossing legs is okay,but placing the ankle on the knee while crossing one’s legsis totally unacceptable.You can cross your legs but not put your ankle on your knee in some Latin and Asian countries.in Peru,men can place the ankle on knee,but women must cross their entire legs at the knee.In Syriawomen must not cross their legs at all in public,though men can cross at the knee.in Ghana and in Turkey,sitting with one’s legs crossed is extremely offensive.People in Thai?Jand believe that because the bottoms of thefeet are the lowest part of the body,they should never be pointed in the direction of
