Document Summary
There are both intercultural and intracultural predictable patterns. Social episode interactions or sequences that are repeated, they are learned and become appropriate to us and determine how we behave in each situation: similar situations give rise to similar results. People undertake intercultural relationships in predictable ways. Rules of interaction: responses expected in the situation: behaviors learned in relation with other people, significant to ways in which we behave. Manners: social practices intended to facilitate interaction: unwritten rules of social behavior, receive social but not legal ensure, you can say them and tell if they are socially acceptable or not. Like manners, there are also appropriate actions that we preform in most situations: mourning at funeral, not being excited in chatty in church. Conversation: highly regulated by interaction rules, predictable developmental pattern, beginning and end clearly marked. Opening: breaking the silence: some sort of salutation indicates willingness to talk. Discussion: after conversation is established, real topics can be addressed.
