    An American professor misunderstood the cultural attitudes of Indonesian students. The professor thought Indonesians were friendly and liked to smile, so when a student smiled after being asked a question, the professor assumed it was a natural response. However, the student may have smiled because they could not answer the question or felt awkward or embarrassed being put on the spot by the professor, showing a lack of understanding of Indonesian cultural norms on the part of the American educator.

    Based on this incident, there was a misunderstanding between American professors and
    Indonesian students. The america professor does not have a definite understanding of the
    cultural attitude in Indonesia. The professor thought that Indonesians were friendly and liked
    to smile. when the professor asked an Indonesian student, and the student smiled, he thought
    it was natural. even though it could be that the Indonesian student could not answer questions
    from the professor, and it could be that the student felt awkward or embarrassed because he
    was asked by the professor.
