Difference in Manners

  In Mexico, some manners are to express gratitude or bad feelings, rudeness, but I focus on gratitude manners. For example, if you are driving and through your trip, you desire to give the step for other driver or people walking, you move your hand side by side, like the next video, and duck your head and give thanks or say thank you with your hand. Then I was drivin in Provo, Utah wity my sister, and a gentleman gives me a step, so I as a gratitude person I did my manners, but he got angry. It that moment I did not why then my sister told me that my manners do not work in that city. So, I learned that each place has their culture-manners.

Another example,

 In China,Taiwan,  and much of the Far East, belching is considered a compliment to the chef and a sign that you have eaten well and enjoyed your meal.

You ca not do it in Mexico, looks rude and is embarrasing.

  Now, about in the classroom, I recognize that each culture has good and bad manners. What could be bad manners? well, in Mexico, if you give a present for your teacher, must be for a celebration because could see it bad, it is misunderstood if you give it without reason, a misunderstanding that you want something from your teacher, maybe a best grade.
