Why do you need to be culturally aware when you give or receive gifts in different countries?

What will be an ideal response?


Gift giving is seen as different things in different countries. Some countries will expect you to bring them a gift and will be insulted if you do not. Other countries will not accept a gift at all for fear that it might look like a bribe. Businesspeople need to be aware of the practice in the country they are entering so that they can be prepared and act accordingly.
