Class #4 Islam

Did her speech change your views of Islam?
I enjyoed her speech very much. The idea to my Islam changed after I had heard her speech. The idea to my Islam is not good because there is an image of terrorism and the war when I hear of Islam. However, my idea changed hearing her story this time. I felt that Islam was very delicate and sacred. Moreover, I thought that Islam is very wonderful religion with the history. It is a little that we think about Islam in usual life. So I was glad to hear such a wonderful story today.

Question 1: How do you greet people in your life?
We always bow each other when we meet, and If we greet the person of the first meeting, we say 'How do you do?'or 'Nice to meet you'' inevitably. we rarely kiss or hug like Americans when we meet. We Japanese do not originally have such a custom. Japanese shows deference to the other party by bowing.

Question 2: Do you touch people when you talk to them?
I think It's depends on the person. But Basically, I think that when we talk to close person, (friends, family and his girlfriend or her boyfriend) we often touch them. because we can mutually obtain the sense of intimacy by doing so. Also we can feel each other to be close. I think that touching people is know each other.
