Why might a thank-you note that is considered perfectly appropriate in America be considered inappropriate in an Asian culture?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: While showing appreciation for the effort someone has made is always a good idea, it is important to communicate thanks in a way that is culturally appropriate. Different cultures have different ways of expressing thanks and perhaps different expectations about length and the amount of detail. In the United States, a low-context culture, a message that is short and to the point is appropriate. In a high-context Asian culture, a thank-you message should be longer and more formal. At the beginning it should focus on the relationship between the writer and audience. In American culture there is low power distance, so a message between an employee and superior would be more informal than that in an Asian culture with high power distance.
