Cross Culuture Communication Homework#3

1. Yes, I do. Because, I don't know about inside of the person. If I met the person who has never seen, i will watch her cloth or what he or she wear at first. If the person wears the clothes which resembled myself, i will have a affinity with her. Clothes express the person's character or peosonality. It is important for people to wear the clothes which fitted their mood. Then, i think that can feel comfortable.


2. Yes, i think so. I don't want to judge only by appearance. But, i will judge by appearance, when i saw other people from another country. I think most Japanese judge people according to what they wear. I don't know who he or she and It is not possible to guess what kind of peoson by appearance. So, i think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country.


3. I'm wearing red knit, white skirt and brown boots. Yes. I think these clothes are reflected my mood. I like red and pink, so i can comfortable that to wear my favorite color.



1. I have never talk about my parents's income or religion.


2. Maybe, yes. For examble, If my friends has boyfriend, i will talk about each boyfriend. But if not so, I don't talk about my boyfriend. And, normal friends and close friends were a little diffrent. I can tell everything to closely friends, and I can relax when i'm with the friends. On the other hand, I don't have a private talk with normally friends.

Cross Culuture Communication Homework#2

1. a. Yes, I do. I went to foreign country, stayed with a family. If someone of the family died, I will become very very sad. And, I can't stop crying. Then, I will send a letter of condolence to them or, I will call them. Because I want to tell the words of comfort and encourage them peosonally. When I was their house, they always take care of me very well. The good words are not necessary and think that I should be able to stream down what myself thinks at the time obediently.

b. No, I haven't. I have some international friends and host family, but i have never been to funeral.

2. a. The reason is because there is a thought selecting the human nature care and personality as with the clothes which person wear. I know it is not good thing to judge the person only their appearance. But, I think most people judge only appearance. And Japanese have a fixed idea that appearance is good equal to good peoson. For example, in the high-quality hotel, cannot enter by an appearance. This is not important for an individual, important for Japanese society. So, appearance is very important.

b. This means "Look at inside" for me. Because a cover seems to be pleasant, the contents may not be simple.
