What is Moveton in the Western European culture of behavior?

Already twenty years, as disappeared from the face of the world of the USSR, the "Iron Curtain" collapsed, and the notion of "scoop" remained. And representatives of this "scoop" is often seen for a mile. Here comes such a couple on the ordinary street of the ordinary European city: he is in a suit from Voronin, the shoes are shiny, she is wearing an evening dress from Gucci, ten-centimeter hairpins and a handbag from HERMES. Both are studded with diamonds, like Christmas trees serpentine. It seems to be fashionably dressed, neat, rich, only passers-by looking around in surprise look at them - mauve ton. The meaning of this word is translated from French as "bad manners" (mauvais ton). Not because these people do not have taste in clothes, they simply do not have the culture and type of behavior accepted in a given society.

If such a couple in full parade appears somewhere in their native spaces, then the reaction of society will be completely different. Compatriots respectfully part, women eagerly peer into separate items of the wardrobe (to save up and buy yourself the same eye-popping boots with rhinestones!). Here these two look bonntonno (from the words "good manners"). In fact, explaining what a moveton is is much more complicated than it seems at first glance. After all, by themselves, men's suits from Voronin, PRADA shoes, and even glitters from Dolce and Gabbana (although some call this company "Expensive and Stupid") are not signs of inability to behave. It is not kitsch, but in a certain situation and in a particular society it becomes so.

In our culture it has always been customary to boast of our wealth. To a billionaire, God forbid, not confused with a millionaire, he flaunts all the signs of his prosperity (a gold chain, like a chain dog, "Rolex" the size of a coffee saucer and the like). In this way, a person wants to show his potential Western European partners that his financial situation is reliable and can be dealt with. Quite differently looks at this shining "outfit" Western European rich man. He was accustomed to show compatriots that he earned his money by excessive labor and in no way is conceited. Therefore, in public, he often appears in a pullover and jeans. If, of course, this is not a party, a theater, a board of directors or other such event. In this sense, the answer to the question what is a mauve ton is the Russian proverb "Not to the place and not to the time".

In the vastness of our vast homeland, it is customary to judge a woman by her "marketable appearance." Therefore, compatriots induce marafets, even if they are going to run to the nearest store for bread. In Western Europe, bright makeup in the daytime causes, to put it mildly, amazement. If, of course, you do not belong to the youth subculture (goths, punks, emo and others), eyeliner, shadows, voluminous or false eyelashes with blush look strange. What is a mauveton in women's clothing? This is when women's forms are unnecessarily and vigorously emphasized. That people do not think that you earn prostitution, just do not dress like a lady of a certain profession who wants to "rip off the client."

But a bad tone manifests itself not only in clothes. Sometimes a person can be seen by his behavior (even if he does not sulchae seeds). What is the mauve tonne in manners? Western people piously respect the privacy and in a relationship with each other keep a distance. Do not approach the interlocutor too close, slap him on the shoulder, take him by the hand. The rules of etiquette extend far beyond the treatment of a knife and fork. Our person has got used to answering phone calls of a mobile phone if he sits in the company: he with pleasure shows, what at it "abrupt" model and what he business. In other countries this is not comme il faut, that is, there is no such thing to do.

The rule of conduct for a Westerner is to show respect for others, even those who are completely unfamiliar. Therefore, they talk there as quietly as possible, smile when they meet with their eyes. Do not brag about your position and attract attention with a loud voice and cheeky behavior. This is what we will think: "This type can do everything," and there they will say: "What an ill-mannered type, probably from developing countries."
