Reаd the fоllоwing selectiоn аnd choose the best аnswer to the question that follows. Cultures differ in the overall amount of touching they prefer. People from high-contact cultures such as those in the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe touch each other in social conversations much more than do people from noncontact cultures such as Asia and northern Europe. These cultural differences can lead to difficulties in intercultural communication. Germans, Scandinavians, and Japanese, for example, may be perceived as cold and aloof by Brazilians and Italians, who in turn may be regarded as aggressive, pushy, and overly familiar by northern Europeans. Cultures also differ in where people can be touched. In Thailand and Malaysia, for instance, the head should not be touched because it is considered to be sacred and the locus of a person's spiritual and intellectual powers. In the United States, the head is far more likely to be touched. Cultures vary in their expectations about who touches whom. In Japan, for instance, there are deeply held feelings against the touch of a stranger. These expectations are culture-specific, and even cultures that exist near one another can have very different norms. Among the Chinese, for instance, shaking hands among people of the opposite sex is perfectly acceptable; among many Malay, it is not. Indeed, for those who practice the Muslim religion, casual touching between members of the opposite sex is strictly forbidden. However, this social taboo refers only to opposite-sex touching; it is perfectly acceptable for two women to hold hands or for men to walk arm in arm. In contrast, many European Americans react negatively to same-sex touching but do not mind opposite-sex touching. Finally, cultures differ in the settings or occasions in which touch is acceptable. Business meetings, street conversations, and household settings all evoke different norms for what is considered appropriate. Cultures make distinctions between those settings that they regard as public and those considered private. Although some cultures regard touching between men and women as perfectly acceptable in public conversations, others think that such activities should occur only in the privacy of the home. —adapted from Lustig and Koester, Intercultural Competence, pp. 211-212The purpose of this selection is to describe cultural differences in
Reаd the prоvided intrоductоry pаrаgraph. Then, answer the question that follows. 1Victimization and exposure to violence (ETV) are a common set of experiences facing youth living in economically disadvantaged, urban neighborhoods. 2Growing concern about the effects of exposure to violence on child and adolescent development has resulted in a rapidly developing literature that has linked exposure to violence to increased risk for a variety of problematic outcomes (i.e., PTSD, school failure, depression, and risky sexual behavior). 3Although not all abused and neglected children perpetuate this cycle, a growing body of evidence suggests that today’s victims of violence (children who were abused and neglected) are at increased risk of becoming tomorrow’s perpetrators of violent behavior. 4The emergence of mimicked violence as a significant public health threat, especially among minority, inner city adolescents, has resulted in the examination of the relationship between ETV and violent behavior. – adapted from “The Impact of Timing of Exposure to Violence on Violent Behavior in a High Poverty Sample of Inner City African American Youth” by Spano, Rivera, and Bolan What is the topic?
