Махалиева Зарият, ГиМУ 1к,1гр You can list the cultural differences between Russia and England for a very long time. These are differences in manners, behavior, communication and many others. As the author of this video said, the main character traits of the British are politeness and restraint. They never talk loudly on the street, do not push on buses, do not show their emotions even in tragic situations. All this is the result of strict education. And the Russians, on the contrary, are not very polite and emotional, but good-natured and hospitable. Russians are also characterized by openness and responsiveness. Among the British, it is considered normal if a person on a bus immediately switches to a free separate seat, if he sits next to another person. Also, English children have every right to free space. For example, without their consent, no one can enter their room, even their parents. And in Russia, even if the children have a separate room, then any relative can go there even without knocking. Unlike Russians, the British shake hands only when they meet. It is also considered normal for the British to touch other people's arms, shoulders, elbows when passing through the crowd. It should also be noted a very interesting fact that the British always honestly observe the line. They consider her the personification of justice.

Курбанова Гулизар Russians and Englishmen have many different stories. The first differences can be noticed during communication. The English are polite and often say "thank You" and "I'm sorry". They don't talk loudly in the street. They don't jostle on buses to get a free seat, they buy tickets with a place indicated in the queues at bus stops. People in England do not shake hands when they meet each other, they do not show their emotions even in tragic situations. Unlike the English, the Russians are not very polite and more emotional, but they are good-natured and very hospitable. Russian Russians left their doors open and food ready for the wanderer when they left their homes. that is why there were legends about the breadth of the Russian soul. Due to their greater emotional nature, Russians are characterized by openness, responsiveness and intimacy in communication. They also resort to different methods of parenting children in England it is customary to keep in strictness, and the higher in society you are, the more strictness. Often you have to see how in a rich English house, with a huge living room, a giant bedroom, a majestic study, the so-called children's room is almost in the attic and is a poor little room, and this is done quite deliberately, for reasons of principle, so as not to undead, but to harden. It is no accident that the boy scouts movement was born in England at the beginning of the XX century, and its slogan was " Be ready!".
