18、iately to the process of interpretation or evaluation without realizing that our interpretations or evaluations are based on our own cultural beliefs and they might be very different from what is meant by the speaker.Case StudyCase37(Page356-357)Peter was brought up in a culture in which the demands

19、 of politeness and face require either that one goes against ones real wishes and accepts invitations that one would really prefer not to accept,or that one finds elaborate excuses(an ill child is a very useful one)to avoid commitment.However,in Moroccan culture,things are quite different.Peter seem

26、ttle time for herself and her classes.The misunderstanding between Annie and Rosa comes from the difference in what they value.Annie seemed to value privacy,independence,personal needs and interests more than Rosa,to whom family relationships and obligation to family members meant very much.In Mexic
