Cultural Systems• What we eat, when we eat and how we eat is an
example of cultural differences– Some Asian cultures eat with the right hand, East Asian
cultures use chopsticks, Western cultures use knife, fork and a spoon.
– Certain foods are considered delicacies by some cultures, unclean and unfit for consumption by others. E.g. shrimp, snails, worms, insects, etc.
• Voice-tone and level are very culturally specific.• Body gestures-Japanese bowing, Western shaking
hands, tipping of the hat• Various marriage customs-intermarriage is accepted
in some societies, but not others
