RE: Knock, knock - Can I come in? San People of South Africa Issue Code of Ethics for Researchers
I speak in front of a lot of people almost every day, if today the thing flows normally, when I started to do it ... I trembled on all sides and sweated through every pore, and spoke to people of my culture and customs . I can't imagine how I would feel to speak to people who have a culture and customs completely different from mine, being afraid of being impolite.
To blur these differences it is really there to have a code of ethics.
In all fairness, by the time someone gets to the end of a study they should feel a lot more at ease with the study population (although it of course depends on the nature of the research). I think the initial presentations and introductions are more likely to create presentation sweats!
