Answer to Question 1

Within a given culture, greater proximity generally indicates one or more of three things. First, the people see themselves in a close relationship. Second, the people are participating in a social situation that permits violation of the bubble of personal space, such as close dancing. Third, the violator of the bubble is dominating the interaction. Even within our own culture, there are differences in the amount of personal space that is expected. For instance, when two colleagues are interacting, the personal space is much smaller than when an employee and supervisor are interacting. When two women are talking, they stand closer together than when two men are talking.

Answer to Question 2

1 . Quantity: Make your contribution to a conversation as informative as required, but no more than is needed.
2 . Quality: Make your contribution to a conversation truthful. Irony, sarcasm, and jokes are acceptable because the listener is expected to infer the speaker's true state of mind from what is said.
3 . Relation: Make your contributions to a conversation relevant to the aim of the conversation.
4 . Manner Avoid obscure expressions, vague utterances, and purposeful obfuscation of your point.
