I learned about the difference of recognition depends on cultures. I'd like to tell interesting story.
A Japanese man went to an Arabic country and met a woman. She was kind and cheerful. Therefore, he said 'You are like sun.' And then, she got angry. Why was she angry? The answer is that sun does not represent goodness in Arabic countries. Sun endangers people in a high temperature area. So, if you want to praise a woman, you should say that she is beautiful like moon. This story also shows the difference of recognition caused by dissimilar cultures.
