. Indians revere titles such as Professor, Doctor and Engineer. . Status is determined by age, university degree, caste and profession. . If someone does not have a professional title, use the honorific title "Sir" or "Madam". . Titles are used with the person's name or the surname, depending upon the person's name.
Wait to be invited before using someone's first name without the title.

Religion and its role in culture, society, government and public life
Understanding the spiritual roots of a country provides deeper insight into its culture.
This information can give a better understanding of the social customs, traditions, behaviors and beliefs of the culture.
Because of the strong religious background a basic understanding of the religious culture can be key to interpreting associated behavior in the Bangladesh government, business, public, family, and social life.
Understanding the religious culture of Bangladesh will help with communicating and establishing successful relations in a respectful manner and help avoid social or political mistakes or misunderstandings communicating with the people of Bangladesh.

The rest of the parts go after…Hey class, it would be nice if the rest of the power
point would look the same. Try to put a picture on each slide, so it wont be dull
looking Fill in the table of contents and conclusion slides on
who is going to do what and I filled in myself about the religion, so if you want to do something different you are free to change it.
Since we have to have 3-5 open questions, and there is 5 of us so just come up with a question from your topic and that will be a lot easier.
Please review and correct if you see errors and delete this page before turning in.
Hope I did everything correct and I am off to pretty soon labor!! Good luck!!
