GREETINGS
The way people greet each other can be seen everywhere, whether it's a village, town, city, or country.
Greetings are universal, some being very unique. Some people wave, others shake hands, bow, or hug each other.
Some have no distinctions between a friend or someone they meet for business - they say the same greeting.
Others make that distinction and have different wordings for different "levels" of people.
Sometimes, not knowing the etiquette in one culture may be bad manners in another.
The intent of this lesson is to use the greetings as a way to introduce students to a variety of cultures.
