Today, we're going to talk about unwritten rules in the US. In American culture, there are a lot of rules that people don't tell you about.

Thank you for your video, Marina. I've been through similar cultural shocks living in Brazil (I'm from Argentina). Here small talks and people smiling all the time is the rule too. But it's interesting the way you approach the situation, instead of saying "they are false", you say "they want to establish a friendly environment", that's a nice way to see it.

@kw7709 Жыл бұрын

Hi Marina, as an American, it's so interesting to hear you talk about things that are so seemingly normal, being highlighted as a cultural phenomenon. Regarding parties, I agree with others who say that being late depends on the people and the region. It can be very rude to be late, especially if your invitation states that dinner will be served at a specific time. And never be late for work! Anyway, thanks for sharing your insights!

Distance between people in line is not a Covid behavior. There is something called “personal space” that is different in European countries than in the U.S. In most European countries the personal space between people in public is closer than the personal space in the U.S. Whether in conversation or just standing and waiting. Europeans will stand very close and that makes Americans a little nervous and they’ll tend to back away and enlarged the personal space. (A study I had to do for my sociology degree.)

@js777. Жыл бұрын

Yes exactly this is not a covid behaviour. I'm from europe and when i moved here this was the first weird thing for me that people feel disturbed when you stand close to them. For them this is normal but for us this is so unfriendly and such a being cold person. I think the reason is; people feel in danger, because of the safety problems here.

@sitbone3 Жыл бұрын

@@js777. …not really anything to do with current safety problems. The American personal space comfort zone has been like this for at least 75 years. It has changed over time. When my grandparents came to the US from Italy and Lithuania around 1900, people stood much closer. Over the decades the distance has become enlarged.

@@js777. No, not a safety issue. Regardless of my being in a good or bad neighborhood, Americans just tend to like space.

But I also look like maybe I have a screw loose, so most times I get my personal space even abroad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wait until you go to Mexico. If you make plans to meet locals at a restaurant at 7pm, they will arrive at 10pm. If you plan with locals to meet for breakfast at 9am, they will arrive at noon. It’s a Mexican thing. Then when you ask them why they came so late they will answer, “well, here we are”.

Different cultures in the USA have different values about time. In my family, there is a saying, "If you are not 10 minutes early, you are late." A few of my extended family change it to 15 or more minutes early. I went to a family dinner, arrived 15 minutes early, and the rest of the family was eating dessert. They told me, "We tried to wait for you, but when you were so late, we gave up and ate without you." My parents went to a party hosted by a Costa Rican family one time. They were warned about arriving on time by another American friend. So they arrived an hour late, and the hostess was still in her housecoat. She was shocked that they were so early.

@EmpressMermaid Жыл бұрын

I live in an area with a large Latin-American population. They actually have different time concepts for different situations. It's a bit of a joke. If you say 6 o'clock "hora Americana" you mean really 6 o'clock. They also have the idea of "work time", as times regarding work or business have to be on time.

@anthropomorphicrabbit866 Жыл бұрын

I think the punctuality thing depends on what region of America you’re in. In the northern south (that’s what I like to call it), my dad always taught me that to be early is to be on time and to be on time is to be late. If you arrive early to a social gathering, as long as you’re not putting pressure on the host, you can always help set up. California is definitely bizarre if the next guest at that party didn’t show up until an hour after the agreed upon time.

Every “American” thing really depends on where in the US you live and your cultural background. America is so diverse there’s really no way that one “American” thing applies to all Americans. Here in Hawaii it’s normal to be super late to gatherings and meet ups that we even have a term coined for it which is “Hawaii time.” My family always say “eh I not late, I’m on Hawaii time” lol Interestingly in Okinawa, they also have the term “Okinawa time” which means the same thing. It was very interesting because Japan’s known for being super on time. Comes to show that Okinawans are not the same as the Japanese
