Language
Body language is an important part of every language.
This Body language, however, is interpreted differently from culture to
culture.
Laughing
An american-style smile, for eample, is big and
friendly. Americans are never afraid of showing their teeth. They don’t cover
their smile with hands because they think that such a gesture is a silly think
to do. In fact, putting the hand in front of the mouth when laughing is
considered impolite. It means that you are making fun of the other person.
Whereas
Indonesian always cover their smile with hands in oder to keep politeness.
Because Indonesian think that if there is somenone who smile loudly and don’t
cover their smile is very rough, mainly girls. Yaa that’s true.
When speaking, Americans don’t close their eyes. This
eye contact is very important in the U.S. They believe that ‘honest people look
at you directy, dishonest people look to the side, and embarrassed people look
down. If you close your eyes while talking with them, they will think you
either bored or sleep.
hemm but we
are INDONESIAN. We have many variaty of cultures and we must proud of
what we have :)
