![Page 79: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

![Page 80: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

![Page 99: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Use of Names
It is acceptable to use the first name of someone approximately of your same age or younger.
You should say "Mr." (for men) or "Ms." (for women) and the person's last name when talking to people in positions of authority.
Do not be shy to ask people how they would like you to call them.
![Page 100: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Social Invitations
An invitation is not firm unless a time and place is set.
If you have accepted an invitation or if a meeting has been set, Americans usually expect you to arrive at the agreed location at the right time.
![Page 101: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Friendliness and Friendships
It is common for Americans to be informal and casual, even with perfect strangers.
Do not be surprised if somebody you do not know says "Hi!" to you for no reason.
People often say “How are you?”. The accepted response is “Fine, thank you.”
![Page 102: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)

When formally invited to someone's home, it is considerate to bring a gift to your host.
Thank your host or hostess when you leave.

Customs Regarding Hospitality
![Page 104: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Punctuality is one of the most highly valued personal traits.
If you know you will be unable to arrive on time, it is customary to telephone the hosts to let them know when you will arrive.
To be late for an invitation/engagement is considered insulting to the person who is kept waiting.
![Page 105: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Behaviors and actions which will almost always get a negative reaction from most Americans:
- 1. being late
- 2. not keeping appointments
- 3. not calling to explain why, and
- 4. treating women as less important than men
![Page 106: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Behaviors and actions not regarded as being positive or negative in the U.S:
- 1. using the left hand to give something to someone
- 2. calling someone using the right index finger
- 3. looking directly in the eyes of an elder or a woman (other than one's wife)
- 4. putting one's foot/feet on top of the office desk/chair
Should these behaviors occur, no insult or disrespect is intended or assumed.
![Page 107: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Personal Space
Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures.
If the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don't try to close the gap.
Avoid physical contact while you are speaking,
![Page 108: Rey Culture Shock 2005](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b1ecb74a7959c2358b45d2/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Telephone Etiquette
When you call someone, it is polite to identify yourself
It is not polite to call someone before 9 am or after 10 pm, unless it is an emergency.
The only exception would be if he or she told you it is ok to call earlier or later.
