Also in some other cultures if someone hands you a business card you shouldn't put it in your pocket they find that rude just like you find it weird.

Weaving Across the World Weaving is a common thread among cultures around the world. Weaving is a way of producing cloth or textile. Today we have machines that weave large-scale textiles at cheap prices. Production of cloth by hand is rarely engaged in today’s Westernized societies.

How Does Culture Change Ones View Of The World? Culture can shape our view of the world. It sounds very too obvious to even be an argument. Many studies have shown that people from different cultures see and perceive things differently and that is probably due to how there culture shaped the way they view the world.
