Unfortunately, different countries have differentideas about exactly how close is close. It is easy
enough to test your own µspace reaction¶: when youare talking to someone in the street or in any openspace, reach out with your arm and see where thenearest point on his body comes. If you hail from
Western Europe, you will find that he is at roughlyfingertip distance from you. In other words, as youreach out, your fingertips will just about makecontact with his shoulder. If you come from Eastern
Europe, you will find that you are standing at µwristdistance¶. If you come from the Mediterraneanregion, you will find that you are much closer to your companion, at little more than µelbow distance¶.
(Morris, 1977)

PARAPHRASE (1)PARAPHRASE (1)
Regrettably, different nations think differently aboutexactly how close is close. Test yourself: when youare talking to someone in the street or in any open
space, stretch out your arm to measure how closethat person is to you. If you are from WesternEurope, you will find that your fingertips will justabout make contact with the person¶s shoulder. If
you are from Eastern Europe, your wrist will reachthe person¶s shoulder. If you are from theMediterranean region, you will find that you aremuch closer to your companion, when your elbow
will reach that person¶s shoulder. (Morris, 1977)

According to Morris, people from different nationsthink that µclose¶ means different things. You aneasily see what your reaction is to how close to youpeople stand by reaching out the length of your arm
to measure how close someone is as the two of youtalk. When people from Western Europe stand onthe street and talk together, the space betweenthem is the distance it would take one person¶sfingertips to reach to the other person¶s shoulder.People from Eastern Europe converse at a wrist-to-shoulder distance. People from the Mediterranean,however, prefer an elbow-to-shoulder distance.(Morris, 1977)
