PROXEMICS: How personal space is maintained in a culture: While Japan is a collectivist culture which places emphasis on the importance of the group, the people value their 'Pasonaru Supasu'! Maintaining privacy in Japan is a first class skill and the Japanese can create their personal space in the most crowded places like the Tokyo Metro during rush hour. Contrast with close-contact countries like Argentina in the Latin American Cluster where people need the least amount of personal space! (30 inches according to research!) Understanding these differences between cultures can increase your CQ Knowledge and will help you be effective in your cross cultural interactions at home or abroad! 🇯🇵 🇦🇷 ——Wilbur Sargunaraj is excited to begin working on his new Cultural Intelligence book! He will be explaining the 10 Cultural Values and the 10 Cultural Clusters and how we can use CQ to build bridges across cultures and enter in to the world of our perceived ‘other’. Stay tuned! 📚)
