Q1 In the culture you grew up in, is it common to invite people into one's home to socialize? How about in other cultures you have experienced?

Yes. It is very common. In fact, when I was growing up, it wasn’t uncommon for my friends to be over at my parents’ house, even when I \FXSƍY YMJWJ . XTRJYNRJX WJYZWSJI MTRJ KWTR R^ UFWY YNRJ OTG YT ƳSI friends in my basement playing video games with my brothers.

I am American and I have a fairly open attitude towards socializing at home. I enjoy inviting people over casually, for a drink or coffee, for example. But for my Japanese wife, there is no such thing as a "casual" visit from a guest. For her, the house is reserved almost exclusively for visits from family.

Bob $PHULFDQ SURIHVVRU OLYHV LQ -DSDQ

I don’t mind meeting people at restaurants, but all my friends have come to my place and had dinner together many times. I can open up and show my true self that way. If someone had never visited my home, I would feel strange about calling that person a friend.

4 Having Guests in Your Home

One Step Further ACTIVITIES

Here are some more responses from the Ibunka Survey on the topic of the home as a social space. Let’s examine them for underlying cultural trends. We can see that the language in many responses hints at two basic patterns.

SURVEY

LOOKING FOR PATTERNS

CULTURAL PATTERN A: Socializing outside of the home

CULTURAL PATTERN B: Socializing in the home In other cultures, houses welcome guests on a regular basis because having people over for meals, drinks, etc. is considered an important part of friendship. In those cultures, it is important to keep one’s house tidy and accessible enough that you can welcome visitors at any time.

In some cultures, the inside of the house is seen as a private place that people outside one’s immediate circle are not expected to enter. People feel more comfortable getting together in public places like cafes and restaurants.
