Guidance

Tailor your language and body posture for the environment. Different standards apply when interacting and between males and females in some locations.

Consider your language and body language when in a different part of the world. Norms that work at home may bring negative attention and generate intervention by other parties.

Don’t use language or make gestures that could be interpreted as disrespectful or threatening.

Consider not discussing personal topics that can potentially be divisive, like religion and political beliefs.

Avoid touching other persons.

Gestures in your culture may cause offense and create issues that could result in intervention from the authorities.
