(a) of the protocol to meet Jane

fan to the people of Western countries traditionally have a tedious meeting , from the handshake greeting to each other on all the customary. By contrast, Americans in the exchanges between people on the more casual. In the United States, friends often cooked informal greeting ceremony say “Hello”, even if it is the first time two people meet, nor must shake hands, just smile, say hello on the line, can directly call each other names, to show affection.

but in a formal setting, people will pay attention to courtesy of the. Handshake is the most common gift. In the U.S., shaking hands between men by a woman’s hand first. Man holding woman’s hand is not too tight, meaning if the other party without shaking hands, man bowed to only nod. Between young and old, older first-hand; between the upper and lower levels, the superior first hand; between the two sides, by the hand first.

handshake should be watching each other, and under the pinch gloves. If for some reason too late to take off gloves, required an explanation and apologize for the other side. Attention should also shake hands with people for a long time not cross, women do not shake hands when they meet each other. Like with the handshake sequence, introducing both know, the first man to be introduced to women, first introduced to the older young, first introduced to the low post position high.

(b) name calling name calling random homes

most Americans do not like Mr, Mrs, or Miss these titles, they believe that such a call too solemnly. American men and women are like other people address him by his name, and to express it as a cordial and friendly.

first meeting people, even the name is often introduced together with the last name, say: “I’m Mary Smith.” then the other can easily call her “Mary” or “Miss Smith.” Common situation is likely to talk to each other with a surname beginning, had not a moment on the renamed name.

sometimes just met with an American, I do not know what to call good, you can just say Sir or Madam. At this time, they will quickly understand your mentality. Notice of enthusiasm: “My name is James Wilson, James Well, call me.” Or “Do not call me Mrs. Smith, called me Sally.”

Indeed, among Americans, regardless of their position, age, and always try to call each other names, to shorten the distance between each other. U.S. home has been designed to address the issue publications in the 150 industrial and commercial sectors conducted a survey and found that 85% of them call only call names.

Americans rarely use the formal title to refer to others. Formal title generally used only for judges, senior government officials, military officers, doctors, professors, and advanced soil and other religious people. For example: Harry Judge, Senator Smith, Clark, Brown, doctor, Professor Green, White Bishop. It is noteworthy that the Americans never use administrative positions such as Secretary, managers, principals and other titles refer to others.

(c) a private matter to talk with people Mowen

in American society, people of all acts are individual-centered, personal interests are sacrosanct. Penetration of such guidelines in all aspects of social life. Everyday conversation, do not like personal truth. Some problems even talk about what they avoid, such as asking about age, marital status, number of income, religion, who cast the votes in the election and so are very presumptuous and rude.

into the United States to see what other people bought, and never ask how much the price? To see someone go out or come back. Will not ask the words, “Where are you from?” Or “Where to?” As for how much income, but could not be asked to do, who wants to ask questions in these areas, will be subject to disgust. Americans tend to use the “nose in other people’s private life to the” words to express the contempt into question.

worth mentioning is that Americans are with us on the views of different ages. In China, the elderly are respected, and in the United States is “become old, worthless.” Therefore, in the United States, not like other people compliment their old age. One time, Chinese students in a city in the Midwest held a grand party, guests like clouds. President of a local prestigious to visit his grand mother. Said in welcoming foreign students: “× × dialing her visit so that we honor all the students.” “Old” word is revered in China, only to have tenderness of the old lady, when her face suddenly changed, awkward bear and never ever gathering of Chinese students do not show it.

Americans also very particular about the “personal space.” And the Americans talk, can not stand too close, usually maintained at 50 cm than is appropriate. Usually to a restaurant or a library, whether we should try to maintain a certain distance with the others. The same table with others forced to sit or sit next to someone else, it is best to say hello, and asked loudly, “I can sit here?” Were allowed to sit down again.

(d) Ladies first

social situations of women in social and political life of America’s position in the how, leaving aside here. But in social situations, they always get extra privileges. Respect for women is the United States and Europe, traditional practices, from a historical point of view, is subject to the European style of medieval knights; if from a religious point of view, it is out of respect for the Virgin Mary.

according to the American habit, in social occasions, women, men everywhere have humility, love women. Walking, the man should walk in through the side of the road; seated, the woman should be invited to sit down first; up and down the elevator, should be allowed to walk in front of women; the door, the man should open the door, please women advanced. But get off, down the stairs, the man they should walk in front to take care of women; into restaurants, theaters, the man can walk in the front, to find good seats for women; meal, the first order to please women; greeted with the woman , the man should stand up, and women do not have to stand up, just sitting nod for; men and women shaking hands, the man must take off the gloves, and women do not have to take off. Women fall to the ground, the man, whether or not to know her, should help her to pick it up.

short, the U.S. men in the social field when the women approached the contract, on the one hand everything to respect them, on the other hand but also to protect people everywhere would appear to show the status of men.

(e) the more the better

courtesy to the American lot of people have this impression: that the Americans talk sweet mouth, they never sounded good mean, often meaning that the listener diastolic smooth. Indeed, in the United States “Please,” “thank you”, “Sorry” like the language could be heard everywhere, endless.

in the United States, regardless of what people will be helped by others when you say “thank you”, even if the president to treat those who are no exception. In the mall, shop assistant’s face is always piled smile, when customers entered, they will take the initiative came forward and asked loudly, “Can I help you?” When a customer payment, they will smile and thank him. Finally, the sound will be sent to thank you leave. Similarly, the customer received the merchandise will be repeated thanks.

Is encountered some trivial, for example, ask someone in front of the seat theater people come from other Americans also repeatedly apologized. Americans burp in public or when talking with others, sneezing, coughing are considered indecent, in which case, they would say “sorry”, please forgive each other.
