Cultural Differences

Examples:

-Shaking the head in a horizontal direction in most countries means "no", while in India it means "yes"

-In the UK, Irleand and Commonwealth countries, the word "compromise" has a positive meaning ( as a consent, an agreement where both parties win something) in the USA it may rather have negative connotations (as both parties lose something)
