54、the afternoon of the second day.DWhen I was very young, my grandfathers cousin Sue relayed a story about an American woman friend who was living in London for a time. An issue that came up for this woman was her worry that she instinctively used an American approach to apologies when riding the Lond

55、on Tube instead of the British approach. So whenever she accidentally stepped on someones foot or bumped into someone on the Tube, she automatically said, Oh, excuse me!

56、ened to step on a strangers foot, she suddenly said, Sorry! and the other woman turned to her and said, Oh, excuse me!I remembered this story while reading an article by Xiaowen Guan, Hee Sun Park, and Hye Eun Lee, called Cross-cultural difference in apology in the January 2009 edition of the Intern

57、ational Journal of Intercultural Relations.

Though it can be amusing to read a very academic

58、 analysis of an everyday behavior, it is interesting to think about why we apologize and the role culture plays in this.

60、 study participants.
