‭Bangladesh and the United States, and answer the questions that follow:‬

‭ angladesh‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭United‬ ‭States‬ ‭have‬ ‭both‬ ‭cultural‬‭similarities‬‭and‬‭differences‬‭in‬‭familial,‬‭social,‬‭and‬

B
‭behavioral aspects.‬
‭In‬‭Bangladesh,‬‭family‬‭is‬‭central‬‭to‬‭life.‬‭Extended‬‭families‬‭often‬‭live‬‭together‬‭or‬‭close‬‭by,‬‭and‬‭strong‬‭family‬
‭bonds‬ ‭are‬ ‭emphasized.‬ ‭Respect‬‭for‬‭elders‬‭and‬‭family‬‭traditions‬‭is‬‭highly‬‭valued.‬‭Social‬‭interactions‬‭are‬
‭typically formal, and community events are frequent.‬
‭In‬ ‭contrast,‬ ‭the‬ ‭United‬ ‭States‬ ‭generally‬ ‭has‬ ‭smaller,‬ ‭nuclear‬ ‭families.‬ ‭Many‬ ‭people‬ ‭live‬ ‭independently‬
‭from‬ ‭their‬ ‭extended‬ ‭families,‬ ‭focusing‬ ‭on‬ ‭individuals‬ ‭achievements‬ ‭and‬ ‭personal‬ ‭space.‬ ‭Social‬
‭interactions‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭more‬ ‭casual‬ ‭and‬ ‭informal,‬ ‭with‬ ‭a‬ ‭greater‬ ‭emphasis‬ ‭on‬ ‭personal‬ ‭freedom‬ ‭and‬‭self-‬
‭expression.‬
‭Behaviourally,‬‭Bangladeshis‬‭often‬‭show‬‭hospitality‬‭and‬‭warmth,‬‭with‬‭a‬‭strong‬‭sense‬‭of‬‭community.‬‭In‬‭the‬
‭US,‬ ‭while‬ ‭hospitality‬ ‭is‬ ‭also‬ ‭important,‬ ‭people‬ ‭might‬ ‭prioritize‬ ‭privacy‬ ‭and‬ ‭individualism‬ ‭more.‬ ‭Both‬
‭cultures‬‭value‬‭kindness‬‭and‬‭respect,‬‭but‬‭they‬‭express‬‭these‬‭values‬‭in‬‭different‬‭ways‬‭due‬‭to‬‭their‬‭distinct‬
‭social structures and traditions.‬
