Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, , course: ESL and Culture, language: English, abstract: Relationships are a part of everyday life. Regardless of culture or ethnicity, relationships between people can be seen across the globe. It is a defining characteristic of the human race. However, there are specifics on how these relationships are formed and to what extent. There are unspoken rules that govern everything from how people greet each other to the roles that they play in society. Although the Arab people share the same culture, there are differences within the culture from country to country. In this paper, we will concentrate on similar Arab practices in neighbor relationships and student and teacher relationships in the Gulf region and in northern Africa, specifically Sudan. These customs will then be compared to the parallel relationships found in America.
