We bow down and join our hands, which symbolizes humility. I usually Namaste to everyone in or from India. 
In Japan, I usually bow to show respect when meeting people.

Bowing is when you show respect or gratitude to someone.  It is also used when apologizing.

In Japan, we shake hands instead of hugging or kissing to keep space for each other.]]> 2021-02-18 00:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213348281 https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213350585 Natsumi Muramoto

-culture of "reading between the lines" (no specific gestures, but need to be aware of unspoken intentions) ]]> 2021-02-18 00:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213350585 Aya https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213358078 Because I have two cultures, it’s very difficult to explain what specific NVC is But if thought of broadly, one of my cultures  is very expressive with gestures. This is because in Afrikaans, one of the languages in South Africa, it is common that there are hand gestures when talking to someone like rubbing your fingers together to indicate money .it is also mainly because so many people come from different backgrounds and speak different types of Afrikaans, it’s easier to get your message across. Facial expression is also very important because you can tell their emotion so clearly on their face in South Africa. I think that being stoic or having a poker face isn’t very common because it’s one of the things we are proud to do and it’s how we live our lives to the fullest. My grandma always told me, “ we love with our whole hearts, laugh with our whole body, and mourn with our whole soul.”]]> 2021-02-18 00:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213358078 Konoka Kishida tul72062 https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213362857 In japan, people put their hands together before and after eating, but I've never seen foreigners so the same behavior.

Also, when counting the number, in japan, the fingers are folded one by one, but in other country such as America the fingers are opened.]]> 2021-02-18 00:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213362857 Kenta Shimada tuo07702 https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213366140 My basketball mentor in Germany does feet dab instead of handshake. I think it shows the level of loyalty and sense of respect because he does not do that to everybody but people he likes. Yet, this is very particular to one person so it is not a great representation of culture which is more abstract. In terms of culture, Japanese people bow and slouch a lot to show respect to other person. I do not think that slouching is a way Western people show respect, therefore it is very specific to my cutlure.

Bowing
Japanese people bow when they greet each other. It is sort of like saying "Hello" or "Thank you". When bowing, the angle of the bow depends on the circumstances. A light bow called "eshaku" is for a casual greeting, for example. We also have the habit of bowing even when talking on the phone. ]]> 2021-02-18 00:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213377918 Haoyang Chen https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213387078 gesture.
My friends and I sometimes communicate with gestures like thumb up or waving hands.
hand-shaking.
Hand-shaking usually means a respect to other people. There is also a wide use in business when representatives of two companies made an agreement.

(2)When Chinese people count with fingers, we bend index finger, shaped like a hook, and this gesture means nine. But after I came to Japan, I found out that gesture means " theft" or " sketchy" in Japan. And we count from one to ten with only one hand.
(3)Chinese people use a pinky finger when two people make a promise. However, this is not seen as a formal agreement. It's more often used as a game or joke among children.]]> 2021-02-18 00:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213404272 Haruka Cavalade tuh41287 https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213413964 Japan

La bise : Sticking each others cheeks twice. It is a typical French way of greeting someone. We do it all the time and especially when we are in school, the first 5 min before class starts is a time to do la bise to all your friends. ]]> 2021-02-18 00:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213413964 Jovan Morriss https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213527122 In my culture we use a lot of hand gestures to communicate and to convey a message to someone and or a group. Family members we typically give hugs and handshakes when we first meet for the day and than hugs and handhshakes when we leave. If you dont know someone you can just either wave when you greet them or handshake is fine also.

Shake hands in both hands if someone is superior. 
High five when something goes well

In Japan, when we say "sorry" that means either way "thank you" or as the words' original meaning "sorry." So, when put up one hand up to face like sorry posture, that means either two ways as I mentioned.]]> 2021-02-18 02:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213540512 Lizette C https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213834168 Some non verbal communications that is apart of my culture would be hand shakes and waving at people. It is a part of American culture to greet each other in mainly those two forms of non verbal communication. A part of my hispanic culture is a kiss on the cheek and hug to greet family relatives. It is a sign of respect to greet family members this way and a sign of greeting. ]]> 2021-02-18 05:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/matsuhashi_sensei/14ml2k03bfi9javy/wish/1213834168 Making a slight bow is the non-verbal communication that I often use and impacted by my culture.

Japanese people tend to use various kinds of bows, such as formal or informal bow and deep or shallow bow. They effectively use a bow by changing the angle of it, depending on the circumstances. For example, they can make a deep bow when they meet superiors, and they can make a shallow and informal one when they meet close friends. Besides, they make a bow in both situations of apologizing and expressing their appreciation.

Nasal sounds are said to be widely used due to the cold climate and body language is used to be more expressive and assertive. One of the most common gestures that is unique to my Ukrainian culture is the hand movement called "Dulya." You put your thumb in between your index and your middle finger and this signifies something along the lines of "you get nothing" or "I won't give it to you."
