Presentation Transcript

  1. 12-5, SOUTH AFRICA GESTURES Receiving an object with cupped hands is polite. Some young people express “hello” or “good-bye” by extending the thumb and little finger up (folding all other fingers against the palm) and rocking the hand from side to side.

  2. 12-6, SUDAN GESTURES Sudanese consider it improper to gesture or eat with the left hand. One passes or accepts items only with the right hand or both hands, never with the left alone.

  3. 12-7,KENYA GESTURES Public displays of affection (including holding hands) are not acceptable in most areas, although they are increasingly common in Nairobi. Eye contact is important, as people are more willing to trust a person who will look them in the eye.

  4. 12-8, SOMALIA GESTURES A thumb under the chin indicates fullness. Snapping fingers may mean “long ago” or “and so on.”

  5. 12-9, ZIMBABWE GESTURES One does not rise when an elder enters the room. Making direct eye contact with an elder is considered rude.
