지문

Social norms pervade our existence, delineating what's deemed "normal" and guiding our understanding of societal dynamics at every juncture. Take, for instance, the ubiquitous practice in Anglo societies of expressing gratitude—saying "Thank you"—to strangers for minor favors like holding a door open or pointing out a dropped item. While not legally mandated, the absence of this courtesy is conspicuous and invites criticism. Familiarity with the norms of different cultures is paramount for effective cross-cultural communication. For instance, expressions may seem translatable, yet divergent norms dictate their usage. Consider thanking someone in a culture where gratitude is reserved for substantial favors—it would appear ludicrous to express gratitude for a trivial act like holding a door open.
