Title:Emotional expression of Brits vs. Israelis
Name:D
City: State:
A key difference between Brits and Israelis is their cultural willingness and ability to express their emotions.

All people have the same types of emotions, but some cultures are more willing or able to express them.

Brits suppress their emotions, and do this through quite a few mechanisms, one of which is queuing.

Israelis generally don`t suppress their emotions.

If you prod a Brit just a little more than they`re used to, you`ll get an emotional outburst the will match or even exceed that of the average Israeli.
