Body language, especially gestures, varies among cultures. For example, a nod of the head means "yes" to most of us. But in Bulgaria and Greece a nod means "no" and a shake of the head means "yes". Likewise, a sign for OK, forming a circle with our forefinger and thumb, means zero in France and money in Japan. Waving or pointing to an Arab business person would be considered rude because that is how Arabs call their dogs over. Folded arms signal pride in Finland, but disrespect in Fiji. The number of bows that the Japanese exchange on greeting each other, as well as the length and the depth of the bows, signals the social status each party feels towards the other. Italians might think you're bored unless you use a lot of gestures during discussions. Many American men sit with their legs crossed with one ankle resting over the opposite knee. However, this would be considered an insult in Muslim countries, where one would never show the sole of the foot to a guest. Likewise, Americans consider eye contact very important, often not trusting someone who is afraid to look you in the eye. But in Japan and many Latin American countries, keeping the eyes lowered is a sign of respect. To look upon firmly in the eye is considered a sign of ill breeding and is felt to be annoying. 1.

Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NOLESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should: 1) summarize the study results, and then 2) comment on the relationship between loneliness and wisdom. You can support yourself with information from the excerpt. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Write your response on ANSWERSHEETTHREE. Loneliness and Wisdom:Are They Related? Rising rates of loneliness may not be news, but the three periods when it peaks may come as a surprise:More people reported feeling moderate to severe loneliness during their late 20s, their mid-50s and their late 80s than in other life periods, according to the research published in the journal International Psychogeriatrics. The general sense of isolation was also more prevalent than the researchers had expected.A full three-quarters of the study participants reported moderate to high levels of loneliness, said Dr. Philip Jeste, senior author of the study and a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at the University of Califomia, San Diego. “One thing to remember is that loneliness is subjective. Loneliness does not mean being alone;loneliness does not mean not having friends,"said Dr. Jeste, who is also director at the UC San Diego's Center for Healthy Aging,"Loneliness is defined as"subjective distress'? It is the discrepancy between the social relationships you want and the social relationships you have, he said. Within the dark clouds, Dr. Jeste also found a silver lining:An inverse relationship exists between loneliness and wisdom."In other words, people who have high levels of wisdom didn't feel lonely, and vice versa,"he said.
