Posture offers insight into a culture's deep structure. We can see the bond between culture and ＿＿（11）＿＿ by simply looking at the Japanese, Thai, and Indian cultures. In Japan and other Asian countries, the bow is much more than a greeting. It signifies that culture's concern with status and rank. In Japan, for example, low posture is an ＿＿（12）＿＿ of respect. Although it appears simple to outsiders, the bowing ritual is actually rather complicated. The person who occupies the lower station begins the bow, and his or her bow must be deeper than the other person's. The superior, ＿＿（13）＿＿ , determines when the bowing is to end. When the participants are of equal rank, they begin the bow in the same manner and end at the same time. The Thai people use a similar movement called the "wai." The "wai" movement, ＿＿（14）＿＿ pressing both hands close together in front of one's body, with the fingertips reaching to about neck level, is used to show respect. The lower the head comes to the hands, the more respect is shown. We can see yet another greeting pattern in India. The "namaste" (Indian greeting) is ＿＿（15）＿＿ by a slight bow with the palms of both hands together, the fingertips at the chin. Here the posture when greeting someone is directly linked with the idea that the Hindus see God in everything – including other people.
