1. Each society has its own beliefs,
attitudes, customs, behaviours, and social habits. These give people a sense of
who they are, how they should behave, and what they should or should not do.
These 'rules' reflect the 'culture' of a country. People become conscious of
such rules when they meet people from different cultures. For example, in some
cultures, being on time can mean turning up several hours late for an
appointment, even for a business meeting; in others, 3 p.m. means 3 p.m. Also,
the rules aboutwhen to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans
and Europeans are used to having three mealtimes a day and organizing their
timetable around them. In some countries, on the other hand, people often do
not have strict rules like this - people eat when they want to and every family
has its own time table. When people visit or live in a country for the first
time, they are often surprised at the differences that exist between their own
culture and that in the other country. The most common way of comparing two
cultures is in terms of their differences - not their similarities.
