Low- and high-context communication refers not only to individual communication strategies, but may be used to understand cultural groups. Generally, Western cultures tend to gravitate toward low-context starting points, while Eastern and Southern cultures tend to use high context communication. Within these huge categories, there are important differences and many variations. Where high-context communication tends to be featured, it is useful to pay specific attention to non-verbal cues and the behavior of others who may know more of the unstated rules governing the communication. Where low-context communication is the norm, directness is likely to be expected in return.1.What is the pattern of the paragraph?__________________________________________________________________________2.

A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp one of each other’s hands, in most cases accompanied by a brief up-and-down movement of the grasped hands. The handshake is commonly done upon meeting, greeting, parting, offering congratulations, expressing gratitude, or completing an agreement. Using the right hand is generally considered proper etiquette.There are various customs surrounding handshakes specific to certain cultures:• In Norway, where a firm handshake is preferred, people will most often shake hands when agreeing on deals, in both private and business relations.• In Switzerland, it may be expected to shake the women’s hands first.• In China, where a weak handshake is preferred, people shaking hands will often hold on to each other’s hands for an extended period after the initial handshake.• In Japan, it is appropriate to let the Japanese initiate the handshake, and a weak handshake is preferred.• In South Korea, a senior person will initiate a handshake, where it is preferred to be weak. It is a sign of respect to grasp the right arm with the left hand when shaking hands. It is also considered rude or disrespectful to have your free hand in your pocket while shaking hands.1.
