 Personal space requirements: Arab business people stand very close to each other compared to U.S. business people.
 Body language: The symbol for okay in the U.S. means zero in France and a vulgarity in Brazil.
 Translation limitations: The Japanese concept of indebtedness has no direct English equivalent.
