Key Information - Summary
Proxemics refers to the use of space or the study of the use of space.
Proxemics/personal space:
Differs between cultures
Depended on the occasion/situation taking place.
According to theorist Edward T Hall, proxemics exists in every culture and can communicate the type of relationship between two subjects being observed/studied.
One's understanding of acceptable proxemics is learned implicitly (without thinking about) from within their own culture.
There are different levels of personal space.

C) High and Low Context Cultures
C) High and Low Context Cultures
READ: HIGH AND LOW CONTEXT
Here is another concept that will help you pull together a lot of the material you have read so far about culture. It is called "high context" and "low context" and was created by the same anthropologist who developed the concepts of polychronic and monochronic time. They complement each other and provide a broad framework for looking at culture.
The list below shows the kind of behavior that is generally found in high and low context cultures within five categories: how people relate to each other, how they communicate with each other, how they treat space, how they treat time, and how they learn. One thing to remember is that few cultures, and the people in them, are totally at one end of the spectrum or the other. They usually fall somewhere in between and may have a combination of high and low context characteristics.
The content here is based on the following works by anthropologist Edward T. Hall, all of which were published in New York by Doubleday: The Silent Language (1959), The Hidden Dimension (1969), Beyond Culture (1976), and The Dance of Life (1983).
