What characteristics of culture is not reflected from the following case? Case : Coconut-skating When Ted Ward enters the hall, he saw a Philippine maid is doing coconut-skating on the floor, and he was so sure it was a joke that he laughed out loud. Ted: Ismelda...Ismelda is skating in the living room. Mary: Yes, this is Thursday, isn’t it. Ted: She skates only on Thursday? That’s nice! Mary: Oh, you mean why is she skating---right? Ted: Yes, I guess that’s the major question. Mary: Go out there and watch her skate; then come back and tell me what you see. Mary’s typewriter clicked on, scarcely missing a beat, until Ted exclaimed from the living room hallway. Ted: I’ve got it! Mary: Well, good for you; you’re never too old to learn. Mary’s voice had just enough sarcasm in it to call Ted up short on how he must sound to others. And while the typing went on Ted stood there admiring nature’s own polish for hardwood floors, coconut oil, being applied by a very effective Southeast Asian method.
