The way we use our bodies to demons

The way we use our bodies to demonstrate our feelings is very important and so is the space around them. In fact, for more than half the world's inhabitants, the space bubble is sacred. The others don't know it exists. Space-invaders may be back-slapping Spaniards, arm-gripping Argentinians or, of course, bone-crushing American handshakes. People from Asian and northern cultures are generally uncomfortable when confronted by the more effusive gestures and behaviour of Latins and others.

The feeling of discomfort generally begins at the outset when the 'space bubble' is invaded. Orientals, Nordics, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic people mostly regard space within a just over a metre of the self as inviolable territory for strangers, but will allow a smaller personal bubble of half a metre in radius for close friends and relatives.

Mexicans, on the other hand, happily come within half a metre of strangers during business discussions. The repercussions of this can be more significant than just a few awkward moments. When Mexicans position themselves half a metre away from English people, they're ready to talk business. For the English, however, this amounts to an invasion of personal space and they back off to over a metre. In doing so, they relegate Mexicans to the South American 'public zone' and the latter thinks the English find their physical presence distasteful or that they don't want to talk business.

For a Mexican to talk business over such a yawning chasm is like an Englishman shouting out confidential figures to someone at the other end of the room.

The Japanese in particular experience discomfort when their personal space is 'invaded', while Anglo-Saxons, Nordics and Germans tolerate close presence with difficulty and East Asians in general (with the exception of the Indonesians) keep their distance from their interlocutor as a sign of respect. With Latins, Arabs and Africans, closeness is a sign of confidence and does not indicate a loss of respect.

Với Latin, người ả Rập và người châu Phi, gần gũi là một dấu hiệu của sự tự tin và không chỉ ra một sự mất mát của sự tôn trọng.
