When interacting with someone from a different culture, it is important to understand the difference between how you view situations and how they view them. For example, silence or maybe just a simple thumbs up. Body language is grated meaning over a period of time within a society you live in. Cultures identify these gestures completely different

United States of America is a present day empire. Many people may disagree and say that United States is not an empire, and some even insist that an “empire” can only an entity that directly rules over large-scale conquered territory, the present day U.S influence say otherwise
