tend to be very private and reluctant to discuss family issues or conflict with
non-family members
D. Stoicism is a highly valued Cambodian
character trait, reducing the tendency to complain about their health or
services they are receiving
E. Modesty, particularly
for women, is very important

Cambodian-born people’s homes are often expected to remove their shoes, however
they might not ask

offered may break down barriers, open communication and build trust

on the head or pointing feet or shoes at them as offensive.
I. Cambodians consider it
impolite to make eye contact with someone who is older or considered a superior
J. Cambodians have a tendency not to question
instructions or authority
K. ‘Yes’ may be an
ambiguous response to a question or request, and does not necessarily indicate
agreement. Reponses that might mean ‘no’ include; no response, changing the
subject, or statements such as ‘it’s OK’ or ‘no problem’ or even an
unconvincing ‘yes’
L. It may take time to develop working
relationships, trust and rapport

behaviour towards others is generally not favoured.

getting involved in confrontation
O. Cambodians prefer to
be addressed using their correct title. For example Mr, Mrs and Dr

names on marriage or they may have two surnames. Cambodian names are
traditionally written with the surname first, followed by the given name.
Q. Cambodians may not recognise their names if

Comparison between
Emirati – Cambodian culture
There are many similarity
between The UAE and Cambodian cultuers. For example: respect traditions,
respect old people,..etc. one things make me love Cambodian is the family
identity and loyalty. The both UAE and Cambodian culture respect the traditions
, old people and womens they respect all of them that also we can see it in the
UAE culture. Finally, I think the reason of diffrents are because of there
bilefes and reliogon.
