856 Words4 Pages

Handshake
The handshake in England is used as a form of greeting between two people. This is so they engage with each other. The handshake is commonly used when a deal is made between two groups of people on something for example, a business deal. This influences communication in a positive way as two groups of people are interacting with one another. So if they get along with each other this will influence more effective communication as when a service user and are care worker handshake neither of them will get offended this will help them to cooperate better with each other. On the other hand this could affect communication negatively because in the other cultures in countries like France, use a quicker handshake than the British. In china a long firm handshake is used and it is often considered as impolite in France. Women in France only offer their hand for a handshake in business and social care settings. This can have a positive influence on communication as people can interact with people effectively.
However it can also have a negative influence on communication if the handshake was too long because people may become offended. In china a long handshake shows that the person is glad to meet you and the Chinese person may make a slight bow to show respect towards the other person. This would make a positive influence on communication because in china people are not offended if they are given a long handshake because if it their type of handshake. However if a
