question 2

Nonverbal messages vary from region to region country to country and culture to culture. So misinterpreting these messages is very common in every day life. One example of differences in nonverbal messages is finger pointing. Here in the US it is completely acceptable to point a finger at someone and it is not seen as rude or anything of that sort. It is accepted and understand as trying to get someones attentions or pointing someone out to another by pointing at them. In Asia it is considered rude to do that pointing your finger at someone. So when they try to get your attention or point someone out they use the whole hand. Same sort of messages but different way of bringing it across.
