Social interaction can be really weird and it can also be really awkward. For this course, we need to start thinking about our interactions from a cultural perspective. In your discussion board topic, you need to name something about your culture that shapes your interactions. For your response, let’s be a bit more critical. For this assignment, I’d like you to discuss something about human social interactions that is weird and then also discuss how it might be related to culture.
Here is a list of starter topics that might help you:
Shaking hands,
kissing people on the cheek,
a common way that people greet each other that bothers you
Then think about how it relates to culture. For example, a strong handshake was once seen as a sign of masculinity and that carries over to today.
