Two sisters from taiwan, ages 15 and 17, visited denver, colorado. they walked along the sidewalk in downtown denver holding hands. several people who saw them assumed they must either be very childish young women or not interested in boys. what was the cultural misunderstanding in this situation? how did different cultural contexts contribute to the misunderstanding? also its actually culture

People assume that if there are two boys or girls holding hands this means they like each other but a lot of times its not true. When a young woman and a mother hold hands they wont think that they like each other they will think that they are pert of the same family and that the older woman is the mom and the younger woman is the daughter but, people wouldn't like it if they were just holding hands with there sister or brother but somebody thought they liked each other. It's just cohenidense.
