5. (b) Make a note from the following:
   While all cultures share the same basic emotions, the forms of communication used throughout different cultures of the world vary enormously. What can mean one thing in one country, can often mean something completely different in another. For example, in North America and Europe people tend to prefer direct eye contact. But in some Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Thailand, prolonged eye contact is considered rude.
   
   So when persuading or communicating with people, always be aware of different cultural customs that may exist. This is especially relevant when you are traveling abroad and communicating with people from different countries. If you are not aware of such differences, you may be perceived as having poor communication skills, rude or offensive. the most apparently harmless gestures and customs-the thumbs-up sign, a casual greeting, certain types of gifts-can be radically misunderstood on foreign soil, with embarrassing or even dangerous consequences Pointing with your finger is rude in so many countries it's probably wise just to abandon the gesture altogether overseas.
