1 CULTURE
In North America, people go to conferences to learn more about
their work, their hobbies, and other interests. At conferences, people
usually don’t know each other. They wear name tags to make it
easier to meet each other and to help them remember new names.
People at conferences usually use each other’s first names.

Where do people wear name tags in your country?

When people meet new people at places like conferences, do they use
first names or titles (Ms., Mrs., Mr., Professor) with last names?
