Lesson 6 05/31/2018 : PERSONAL SPACE

As mentioned, we all have our own personal space and as cultures are different, but when our space is invaded we come to offend ourselves or react negatively.
As brother Iver mentions, Mexican culture tends to invade personal space because we are very friendly and sometimes that space during transport is seen as something very normal.
While reading this article according to the rules, it really made me laugh because it is like it really happens even though in my culture that not talking to anyone does not happen, sometimes we tend to talk with people we do not even know during public transport.
Personally, when I travel alone I usually bring that mentioned mask of no emotions.
I will tell you a little experience of misunderstanding
Recently a new girl joined us she is American and just greet her as we all kissed each other on the cheek here in Mexico,so she was impressed by what I did and clearly felt invaded ,so when the others arrived they greeted her with the same way ,she did it and understood that it was very normal.
How can I apply as a teacher?
We are aware that we all have our own bubbles just like our students.
When it is the first day of classes no one speaks or only know each other but as they go together they allow them to approach areas but when someone approaches their intimate zone they can be offended and start a fight we can talk with the kids to avoid these misunderstandings .
For me it would be important to teach a little about different cultures and customs or that even students from other cultures would explain a little about them.
