I have decided to write about meetings between different people and different cultures. There are many different ways to greet. Some shake hands, other rub their noses for example. There are many ways to use and which one of them should we apply?
Shake hands for me is to respect one or other. If I shake hands with an elder it means for me that I respect him or her and I also use to bow in between. That’s my way to greet. I’m more polite to older people that I met, than to a boy or a girl in my age. Then I usually don’t shake hands just say hi and no more. That depends on the other person, its body language and its generally speaking. There is sometimes very difficult to know how to greet. If you never have met that person before it’s a bit ashame for both. But if you did meet that person a long time ago you feel more relaxed and know how to greet, if you compare to the other times you have met.
I believe you also play different characters in different meetings and that depends on how you greet somebody. If you are with your parents you play a role as their daughter, with your boyfriend you are in a role of his girlfriend and in both situations you have to control yourself and behave a little more. But if you are with your best friend and meet their other friend you can be more relaxed and open-minded.
In those ways you always play different characters, in question of what kind of situation you’re in.
In some religions you have three different ways to greet people. For example, to respect an elder or a higher respected person, you bow and take its hand gently. If it’s a man you shake his hand and a woman you can give her a hug or a kiss on the cheek. And it doesn’t make matter if you have met her before or not, you just give her a huge or a gently kiss on her cheek, you know which one to do by looking at her body languages. That’s how we do in our family. I don’t know so much about how others do but I think it’s quite the same.
I have come to the questions about immigrants in Sweden, if they have a ruff time being here. And Yes, I think so. They have to work harder to get where the others on the same level are at. I also think they’re not accepted by everyone and every where. I have heard many complain about immigrants. In most cases the municipality put them to live in the same zip code. There are many places in Sweden, like Rinkeby in Stockholm or Rosengård in Malmö, where almost only immigrants live. I think that’s very wrong to do. Why gather them in one place? Why not divide them up, instead of doing like that. Let them have the choice to live wherever they’re pleased to. Let them become one of us, don’t freeze them out of the society. Help them instead, they have come here for a better life. There should be more associations that could help them to feel more safe and free in this country. That’s my point of view.
I want to end this summary of the chapter by saying that the hardest meeting of all, I think, must be to inform a family that they just ...
