American Society and Culture

Diversity

Informal and Friendly

Time is Money

The Family

Dining Etiquette

• Americans socialise in their homes and ‘backyards’, in restaurants and in other public places.• It's not at all unusual for social events to be as casual as a backyard barbecue or a picnic in the park.• Arrive on time if invited for dinner; no more than 10 minutes later than invited to a small gathering. If it is

a large party, it is acceptable to arrive up to 30 minutes later than invited.• Table manners are more relaxed in the U.S. than in many other countries.

Meeting and Greeting

• Greetings are casual.• A handshake, a smile, and a 'hello' are all that is needed.• Smile!• Use first names, and be sure to introduce everyone to each other.

Greetings

• The hand shake is the common greeting.• Handshakes are firm, brief and confident.• Maintain eye contact during the greeting.• In most situations, you can begin calling people by their first names.• Most people will insist that you call them by their nickname, if they have one.• Business cards are exchanged without formal ritual.
