American, but the French stance is something
different again.
Gesture Differences

Yes & No Difference:
Normally in our country and other western
countries shaking your head up and down means
“yes” and shaking it right and left means “no”.
But in Slavic countries it just the opposite.
Distance Differences

South Americans prefer to be much closer than
North Americans, and Arabs prefer to
communicate closer than both of them
Eye Contact Differences

Arabs sometimes stand very close together for
conservation and look intently into one others
eyes as they talk, but there are societies in the
Far East where is thought rude to look at other
person at all conversation.
As a whole we can order some countrie from high –
context that rely heavily on nonverbal
communication, to low context that rely heavily on
