The closest distance between two people in a conversation takes place in Middle Eastern cultures. Men usually talk to each other at very short distances, and they even push and shove each other. The distance between two people in a conversation is also very close in Latin America. On the other end of the distance spectrum, Asians tend to keep much more distance between each other than Westerners do. The perception of personal space is very strong in Japan. Crossing between two people or intruding into anothers space to move through a crowded room is seen as ruder than in other cultures.,The British keep also big distances when they talk to each other, said Givens. Klinkenberg agreed and mentioned the legendary story of a British diplomat and an Arab diplomat speaking at a party. The Arab kept moving forward, while the Briton kept backing away to establish the distance at which he felt most comfortable. The result was a comical chase around the party hall, the Briton backing away with the Arab in pursuit.,Weallknowpersonalspaceisvery importanttoeveryoneinourdailylife.
