2. What is considered rude in your culture?
We can see rude behaviors easily in table manner. There are some examples of table manner. First at all, we can't eat before older person raises the spoon. The other words, we can eat if the older person begins to eat. Next, before older person finishes eating, we should not put a spoon on the table and leave from the table. Finally, we should not be the sound when we eat something on the table. The other thing, when we have the conversation with old people, we can't interrupt and say at the medium for conversing.
3. Is there anything in US culture that is considered rude that may not be considered rude in your culture?
It is common in Korea that parents beat children when their children tell mistake but they don't tell a truth. We call a cane of love. On the other hand, it is surprising that parents never beat their children. I think that we need surely the cane of love because parents must deliver their children so that they do straight deed.
