Japanese kinesics/ body language in specific social situations.?

Question

I am looking for information on Japanese body language within specific social environments: Bar, wedding, funeral, work place, academic settings, dating, and familial settings.

Answer 1

Wow, this is way too vague. The Japanese don't use very many hand gestures or facial expressions. They do a lot of bowing and kneeling. The lower status or younger person should bow lower than the higher status or older person. Women should bow with their hands folded in front of them. Men should bow with their hands at their sides. My husband is Japanese, I have taken numerous classes on Japanese language and culture, and I organize a Japanese language meetup group every weeknd. but I ond't know how to answer your question becaues it is overly broad. Good luck to you anyway!

Answer 2

I suggest that the upper limit for contributions be done away with, and that the maximum payouts in retirement still remain as they are, adjusted for inflation. Social security is not a "give away" program but one that we all contribute to like a savings plan, and should be protected from other uses by the government. Do you agree or disagree and why? If you are so worried about it then why don't you; first put it back into the private sector and make to were no can take out money from it for their own interest, second pay back every penny you have borrowed from both Social Security and Medicare, third take the illegal immigrants off of it and those who come over here but never paid a penny to it, and lastly have it the same for everyone; in other words government officials are to participate in it and if they want something more they do it on their own without the tax payers funding it?Yet, the monetary stytem feeding the imbalances had never been really changed. They, a group of scholars, suggested that all interest rates would be 3% or less for everyone to become rich if desired (that must be true also to taces). The best economic situation would be, they said, when there were no interest rates. Why not try this solution? The rich would still be rich. My question is: when soial security becomes a problem connected to federal debts, why not work with a balanced or gain budget and spend no more than comes in, as any family has to strive for? Why not ban all loobying gifts in order to get laws that serve the country? God bless America.
