2.HOW DO YOU GREET PEOPLE THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN SOCIETY?
I say 'ohayougozaimasu', 'doumo' and so on.
I do not bow every time, just to very high or important people.

But my some friends say I am like a man when I greet or chatting with friends from opposite sex.

Yes.
I sometimes hug my mother. I do not kwow why.. It is just a part of habit for us.

HOMEWORK - World Religion
1. HOW DO YOU GREET PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE?
I usually say "Good morning", "Hello" or "Good evening". Sometimes I just say that or other times I wave, bow or hug.
2.IS IT DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE? HOW SO AND WHY?
That all depends. When I greet my close friends, we usually wave or sometimes jokingly hug each other. I often bow for our elders or superiors, not wave or hug. My European friends often kiss my cheek or hand for greeting. I think it is very interesting that people always say "Ohayougozaimasu" in their PT job.
3.DO YOU TOUCH PEOPLE WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM? WHY OR WHY NOT?
I basically do not touch people when I talk to them. But, I unconsciously touch them sholder or arm when I am so excited.

HOMEWORK - Buddhism
My daily life is greatly affected by Buddism, but I'm not sure what is infilenced by it. Because the religion of Japan is mixture. Here is 5 things that I thought of.
1.I almost always sit on a cushion on a floor. Though it is just not to get a behind ache for me, it was used in religious rites by priest.
2.I put up my umbrella on rainy days, but it was for Buddihist ceremonys.
3.Since I was a child, my grand parents often say "Eat it up!" I'm sure that is related to Buddist ethos, mottainai.
4.There is a small dish with salt in the toilet to protect my family against evils. Although I don't know whether that is affected by Buddhism or not, I guess salt is related to Buddhism.
5.Japanese cuisine is supposed to delight the eyes as much as the palate. This is drived from Buddhist doctrine which deprecated the argument about the taste.
