Examples are not speaking loudly in confined spaces, not sitting on the floor, and using proper footwear attire in a host home.

. Nonverbal communication is particularly important, as it can be a direct representation of information perceived by others, Ie, Facial expression, posture, hand gestures, and all only messages. These are extremely important to be knowable about as, again, in different cultures, nonverbal communication of body gestures can signify different meanings than what we are accustomed to.

CRC student, Taxonomy is the classification of behavioral norms based on similarities. Think of it as a spectrum in which culture can lean to one side or another of certain behaviors. A perfect example of this could be the Harris Bond taxonomy of Long-Term Orientation. With one side of the spectrum focusing on short-term orientation vs long-term. An easier way to do is that we are used to a culture that have in empress living in the present, enjoying each day one by one, but in japan culture, that often has a long-term definition thought, in which much of their days are focusing and working towards future long terms goals such as retirement and careers. Another example is Hofstede masculinity vs femininity taxonomy. The U.S. concept of masculinity and felicity have made large progress in defining certain roles for each, while Japan is still heavily focused on the cerian roles that only males and females can have. Decentralized vs centralized (Hofstede) is also a good example. Japan is a country that is healthy and decentralized, meaning that respect for those of higher ranking is a large part of the culture; if a higher-ranking person or elder tells you what to do, there is mr emphasis on getting the job done. While the US, we are a centralized society that now has less regard for what those above us tell us.

The main way of communication is verbal with direct, clear messages.For instance, we might have much nonverbal communication at CRC that we use, such as facial expressions, hand gestures, and body lounges, to convey our opinions or mood to others. In Japan, they tend to be a fairly low-context culture relying heavily on verbal communication as a straightforward point. So remember to teach yourself proper nonverbal expression and correct language communciatioin.
