a. (Sample response:) Fifty years ago, women didnt usually have jobs. But now that has changed. It
is common for women to work in offices, businesses, and stores. I think this is good for women
because they can earn their own money and be more independent.
b. (Sample response:) The etiquette in my country has gone through a lot of changes in the last
twenty-five years. Since technology has increased, we communicate with many people from all
over. This has increased the cultural literacy in my country. People are more aware of what is
customary in other cultures and what is taboo.
