• Numbers ['General' vs culture-specific]: 3 and 7, for example, vs 16, 18, 21, 26 (cf. 'magical' or 'special' numbers in other cultures, or differences in meaning). For example, the age 16 for girls in American pop music — see "16 Candles" [The Crests, YouTube] and Happy Birthday, Sweet 16 [Neil Sedaka, YouTube] — (see also Sedaka's Calendar Girl) — Johnny Burnette's "She's 16, she's beautiful & she's mine [YouTube], and Mark Dinning's "Teen Angel" [YouTube], as well as Ricky Valance's "Tell Laura I Love Her" [YouTube]).

• Colors: black/white (black & white hats in 'Western' films), U.S. & French red/white/blue vs German green/brown in ski color marketing; 'Dress For Success' guidelines (cf. 1975 book by John T. Molloy — black/blue suits, white dress shirts, black shoes [cf. IBM "Big Blue" company dress code], vs. white/gray shoes (cf. prev. Nordic phenomenon of men wearing gray-gray-gray-gray, or interior decorator in February with white boots, revealing tattoo, etc.), "pink" images ('pink-collar' jobs, etc.), "blue" moments

• Belief in Hard Work, Never Giving Up [and legends by which such beliefs are learned]: Wally Pipp vs Lou Gehrig on the New York Yankees baseball team (1925-1939); 19th-century frontier homesteaders and immigrants (even today); cf. Finnish sisu and 'the swamp, a hoe, and Jussi . . .'? Influence on present (conservative) attitudes toward government-regulated health insurance, labor union benefits, etc.?

• Names: Name-stereotype studies, common male and female names, 'romantic literature' names, 'generic' names, U.S. and British names, foreign names in English, regional and ethnic names, time-specific names, etc. (see the 'names' outline and also the directory of 'names' files).

• Comparative 'Learned Politeness', (anecdote of Karin [Sweden] and the opening of car doors), 'who walks upstairs first' in Denmark; who 'gives way' to women walking down stairs in France, etc. (old buildings, steep, narrow stairs...) the Finnish custom of taking off one's shoes when entering a home, etc.

• Comparative "Customary behavior" in different societies: "foreigner" observations — Denmark and women smoking cigars and pipes on trains, babies left outside restaurants and grocery stores, teen-age girl taking off and mending skirt in mixed company, relationship of nudity and violence in films, philosophies of love and marriage, etc. — are all of these reflective of what is seen as appropriate or acceptable in different societies, due to the way one has been "conditioned" in one's home culture?

• Physical characteristics: Height: 'short man' concept, who gets respect; male/female relationships with height; weight, hair color, body hair, baldness, etc; eye color, skin color (how white or dark, tanned, pale, etc.), homogeneity or heterogeneity of 'color' in different societies — national, cultural and subcultural distinctions with all of these . . .

• Gestures & other uses of the body to communicate: Greeting/farewell procedures (air-kissing, single or double, etc.); various celebratory acts ("high fives", "fist bumps", "jumping body bumps", etc., among athletes); differences in head movements to indicate "yes" or "no" (cf. Turkey vs Finland or the U.S.); the Finnish "closure nod" at the expected end of a conversational interchange; among others.

• Age, Gender: What 'ages' are more respected or 'valued' (anecdote of Indian student at college whose marriage had been arranged, vs general 'respect' for the authority of elders in the U.S.); which genders have more status, are respected/valued more (women drivers, male nurses (?), etc.) or are gender-stereotyped in certain ways (male home-renovation consultants on recent TV shows, etc.)

• 'Institutional Practice' expectations, for example between U.S. and Finnish universities with respect to 'intercollegiate' sports; [cf. U.S. expectation that UTA would have ice hockey and football teams which compete against other Finnish or Nordic universities, each with their own stadia, cheerleaders, bands, homecoming dances, 'senior days', etc.]

• (Other 'expected' or 'allowed') Group Behavior Patterns: university students, navy sailors on shore leave, standing in lines at bus stops (Finland vs England, U.S.?), "spitting culture" in Finland, waiting in lines at banks or airports, etc., intermissions at the theater or in operas, etc., socializing after church services on Sundays, Or, characteristic behavior of Americans as such, as perceived by non-Americans?

• These are just a few examples; others from your experience?
