The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may

simple.Ifyou’reinvitedtosomeone’shomefordinner,bringwineorflowersorasmallitemfrom
yourcountry.(19)AmongMends,familyandbusinessassociates,wegenerallydon’tgivegiftson
other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand,
give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving
in Japan is very ancient. (20) There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the
wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t generally
exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as
bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today we
have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples, but lefs
not miss the main point here. (21) If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the
possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these
differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among
peopleinordertogetalongsuccessfullywithourglobalneighbors.
