Americans pride themselves on their informality. 1. When Americans travel abroad on business, their informality may be viewed negatively, 2. Informality in Asia often equals disrespect: it is not seen as a virtue. 3. The order of first and last names in Asia may be reversed, and this causes confusion to Americans and Europeans. 4. When you are addressing someone, ask which name a person would prefer to use; however, be sure you can pronounce it correctly.

Option "2" is best suited to describe the view of other nations on the informality ways of Americans.

Explanation: Other people of other nations unlike Americans believe in formality as a form of respect especially towards elders, while they view informality as a form or disrespect. In a country like Asia where formality is practiced and preferred it would be wrong when an American addresses the Asians informality because his or her intentions would be interpreted as being rude.

In America and other European countries they believe informality is friendliness and openness towards the other person which to them is a virtue, regardless of age and status an American man would prefer to call you by your first name.
