I've just read the article called "Don't cross your fingers in Vietnam, give a thumbs up in Greece... or beckon someone over in the Philippines: Infographic reveals the most offensive gestures around the world." The author of this article is Katie Amey and it was published on the 18th March 2015. As you can guess, this article is about difeerent gestures and their meanings around the world.
This article can be divided into four parts. The first part is an introduction and the next three parts are about different types of gestures. At the first part we can read about benefits of travellig and necessity of using gestures. In the secound part we know the most popular gestures that can be interpritated offensive. The third part are full of gestures that have double meaning. And in the last part of article the autor give us information about special gestures of countries around the world.
What we know about gestures in general? Gestureres is one of the way of communication that can make our speech more emotional or help us to explain something. All of us use it but in the majority of cases we don't think about meaning because we get accustomed to use it and can't imagine other implications of them. The author said us that in different situations our gestures can say more than words, and we should pay more attention to it because a lot of them have separate meanings around the world.

Thanks for your rendering! I think that the theme of gestures is very interesting and it will be actual all the time. I totally agree with you that we should be carefull with our gestures. I haven't any problems with misunderstanding when I used gestures, may be because of not very big life experience, but I read a lot about it. We should be careful using them, especcialy when we travel abroad because gestures of different countries could differ and we could get into trouble.
ОтветитьУдалитьI'm fond of your rendering, you chosen a very interesting article. I was pleased to know about different gestures in different cultures. I have never been abroad (so, I have never had problems with misunderstanding), but I think that every person who are going to have a rest in another country should get acquainted with gestures of it (for his own safety and tranquility).
ОтветитьУдалитьI like your rendering! I know you really like this topic. I agree with you that we have to be more carefull with gestures in different countries. It can play a bad joke with you. Thank you for showing this article. It is really interesting and I must say it is very impotant to know the meaning of your gesture ecpecially in our difficult time in the world. As for me I have never had problems with it, but I try to read something about it from time to time.
ОтветитьУдалитьI think this rendering is very useful for people who travel frequently. We are accustomed to non-verbal communication in our country, to the value of familiar gestures, but in another country we may insult or humiliate a person. I'm interested in this topic.
