Mayu Miyake
I think the difference between American communication style and Japanese style is that American talk directly, but Japanese talk indirectly. In this situation (skit 1), maybe I don’t ask her to wash dishes directly, because I’m afraid of making the relationship awkward. Don’t you worry about the relationship when you ask something which you might make the parson feel uncomfortable? And can’t you forget a big fight with hug?

In the United States, people tend to be very open about things and are not afraid to confront others about the issues they have. As a society, it is seen as "normal" to tell others when they are disrespecting you. In doing this, one is establishing their position as an individual.
