Answer: Cultures have different expectations and what they find rude. For example, in America, it is normal seeing someone eating food while walking, however in Japan, it is considered rude since the streets are supposed to be clean. It is ok to eat while eating if there is a festival or carnival. This cultural difference affects communication because if you eat while walking in Japan, most people would most likely not approach you. Also, in Japan, when you visit someone's home, you should say "Thank you for letting me inside", take off your shoes before entering, and then organize your shoes to the side. This act shows that you have manners and the resident of the house would be nice to you since they know, you know your manners. Mostly, the manners and behavior you have learned from your own culture display they type of person you are and will allow the other party to speak comfortably with you or a particular way.
