1. When meeting someone for the first time, you can make a good impression by talking about weather, like how it is in Singapore compared to where you live. You can also make a good conversation with someone in Singapore by talking about the settings and circumstances in other places. Singaporeans are proud of their separation from Malaysia, talking about it as well may also be a good idea. If you want to make a good impression, then you’ve to know what you don’t say when meeting Singaporeans. With saying Singaporeans are very proud of their independence from Malaysia, know that Singaporeans don’t like Singapore being known as a third world country. Something to also avoid talking about is about all the freedoms there are in “the American west” oppose to the limited freedom they have in Singapore, apparently they’ve had enough of it.

2. Eye contact and distance you have between a person don’t really matter when it comes to nonverbal communications. It is not common to touch when greeting, as well as kissing, hugging, slapping on the back, except for the first shake of hands, till you become good friends.

  • Experiment: A Breaching Experiment

    928 Words  | 2 Pages

    People want full attention and full eye contact, to ensure interest in the topic being discussed. I discovered that when I would talk to someone with my back completely turned to someone was when they were offended the most, rather than when I just didn’t make eye contact but was faced in their general vicinity. I think that most people reacted negatively towards this experiment because of the social norm that involves being polite and attentive towards a stranger. Being rude to someone whom I’ve never met before for no reason broke the common social norms of politeness. From this experiment I learned that it is greatly important to make eye contact with someone during any type of conversation. If not, it is seen as very rude and will result in negative reactions or attitudes, and give the impression to whomever I am engaging in conversation that I am not interested in what they are saying to

    1415 Words  | 3 Pages

    Singapore as a country has had various transformations throughout its history, however the period 1950 and 1970 was quite critical. Much of these changes had a lot to do with the development of trade and manufacturing.

The strict rules, the mentality within the individuals and the structure of the nation also play a big part in the success of the Singapore healthcare system. In countries like the US, they should carry out policies on a state to state basis and cater to the different communities according to their needs. It is hard to impose a one-off solution to a play as diverse as the United States.

    One also has to be mindful of unspoken language. Unspoken language includes implied hands gestures, facial expressions, physical greetings, eye contact, and the manipulation of personal space (Moreno, 2006). One great example illustrating the body language barrier between different cultures can be taken from a simple thumbs up. In the US, it is perceived as "all right" or "ok", but in Italy this gesture is professed as being vulgar! Languages are only the beginning when coming to conclusions about cultural differences, religion also plays a huge role.
