Sonia T - 05:07am Mar 11, 1999 (#1 of 5)
Le regard
Je n'ai pas remarqué beaucoup de différence entre
vos réactions et celles des français, excepté
le fait que plutôt que de parler à la personne gênante,
vous préférer lui adresser un regard significatif.
Pourquoi?
le regard
I think this may be because, although the person is being rude,
we don't want to talk unless it is necessary. I think we tend
to use a look to get out point across because it is discrete and
doesn't draw anymore attention to the problem than necessary.
If the person still was talking after glaring at them, i think
then most all of us would say something to them. In general, i
think we want to avoid any confrontation.
Utilite du regard
D apres les reponses du questionnaire, j ai la meme impression
que Sonia a savoir que vous regardez tout d abord la personne
avant d envisager lui dire quelque chose. Ce qui ne veut pas dire
que vous dites forcement quelque chose... Je constate que les
francais parlent directement a la personne qui les derangent et
c est ce que je ferais. Le fait est que je me demande si en France
un regard suffit a faire taire qqun. En fait je pense plutot qu
une remarque polie est beaucoup plus efficace ... dans un premier
temps !
généralités sur le cinéma
Aux états unis j'ai remarqué que la salle de
cinéma est générallement bruyante (les gens
mangent des pop corns...) De plus il fait si froid !! Cela ne
vous dérange pas?
Movies
It is hard to make generalizations about the responses for
this situation. Both the French and Americans felt that some sort
of action was necessary, be it a dirty look or a direct confrontation.
However, there seemed be more irritation on the US side. This
is apparent from some of the "extreme" responses and
from some key words. On the French side, there was almost a uniform
answer: ask them nicely to be quiet. Could Americans just be more
passionate about their movie-going experience? I noticed also
that there seemed to be a greater diversity in the American responses.
Did any French students notice that, in general, the French responses
have lacked specificity, emotion, and the diversity apparent in
the American responses? If so, is this a product of culture or
the homogeneous composition of the population in France7
