How Customs Work Like Sharing Rules
When people from different countries trade or visit each other, they follow certain rules, just like how you and your friends might decide who gets the biggest toy first. These are called customs, and they help everyone understand what to expect, like knowing if you need to say "please" before asking for a snack.
Why Countries Have Different Customs
Some countries have customs that feel familiar, like waving goodbye or saying “hello.” Others might do something strange, like bowing deeply when meeting someone. These are just special ways of showing respect or friendship, kind of like having your own secret handshake with every new friend you make!
Examples
- A child learns to bow in Japan when meeting someone older, like how kids in the US say 'hello'.
