Blog 8: Emotions & How They’re interpreted

Have you ever noticed how people from different cultures express themselves? I have. When I go out with friends from asian culture, I see that they try to keep the peace, Something could happen to upset them but in the moment they won’t say anything but their eyes express it. I have also been out with people from north american culture, these people are typically unafraid to voice that they are displeased.

This is exactly what I expect from both cultures, particularly the white, north american culture; In my culture depending on how comfortable we are with the person we express the issue then and there or wait until we are alone with the person. In the american culture, I feel like it boarders on rude; but this from a bicultural person looking in.
