Passage Two While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of
Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused
to see that many of her Japanese listeners had their eyes closed. Were they turned off
because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they
deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her? Opp-Kemp later found out that her
listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to
enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her
words. Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people
from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how
different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some
examples: In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by
clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in
some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look
directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding
direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while
in other countries, it is a form. of insult.
