    European countries, it is typical to see people greeting one another with a kiss on the cheek. However, in America, this is not the case. We do not go around kissing someone on the cheek in fear of not knowing how the other person will take this gesture. We do hug people to greet them, however. We hug, pat on the back, smile, and ask about health and family. In France, personal space is not as big of an issue as it is in America. The French only use about an arm’s length of personal space. In America
