National Stereotypes(In-class)

The speaker is talking about a recent research which is conducted by a American association. The research says that Brazilian is the world's best tourist. The points of survey are politeness, willingness to understand speaking English and cultural sensitivity. The opposite is German because they are rude, inpatient and never tip. The research says that the best tipper is Japanese. Japanese are afraid of losing face. They are usually extremely polite and they ranks very high in the part of a cultural sensitivity. French scored extremely low in the willingness to understand speaking English category. They even smoke where a smoking is not allowed.
