Socia$ Cu$ture
Pakistan being an !slamic nation is dominated by the basic !slamic alues,
traditions and norms.
The society can be termed as conseratie. 1ospitality, respecting elders
and other amily alues are ery important. & common gesture among
Pakistanis is the salaam, where one greets upon meeting others by saying
Assalama Laikum. 1oweer, this only applies to uslims. &lso consumption
o alcohol is strictly prohibited and wearing reealing clothes is shunned.
+onersations regarding se" are seen as taboo. !t is also a norm or
Pakistanis to take a git when isiting ones house, the git usually beingsweets, Cowers etc. !n business enironments, an eBort should be made to
be punctual or meetings but the person should also prepare or haing to
wait.
¬her important eature o Pakistani society is its hierarchy. This class-
based system mainly ocuses on income and social status to distinguish
among the members o the society. The rise o the middle class has been
signifcant, almost nearing (6 million, rom which %# million belong to the
upper and upper middle class and who earn an aerage income o K%6,666.

dominant.

languages is practiced. Drdu is the national language and Inglish is the
