In Japan, people bow to show respect when they greet or say goodbye. Most people nod their heads to show agreement, but in Greece, nodding means “no”. In many European cultures, women and children are kissed on each cheek by family or friends. Men usually shake hands instead of kissing each other on the cheek.

Because it is always the same in all cultures. B. Because what is polite in one culture may be rude in another. C. Because you don’t need to speak the local language. D.
