Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Arab culture, it is considered impolite to use the left hand for anything related to eating or drinking. Therefore, Ian should not use his left hand to pour drinks for his Arab associates to show respect for their culture. Wearing a turban or bowing 30 degrees may not be necessary or appropriate in this situation, and avoiding steady eye contact may be seen as a sign of evasiveness or lack of confidence.
