Everyone has a name. How do you say your name in English?
Do you say your given name first, like "Ayaka Sato" ? Or do you say your family name first, such as "Sato Ayaka" ?
In many Weatern countries, the given name comes before the family name.
In the West, people put focus on "individuals".
In the East, some countries like Chaina, Koria and Japan, put the family name before the given name,.
There, people focus on "family". So the name order differs from culture to culture.


1. Do most people in the West say the family name first ?
2. What do people in the East focus on ?
3. What differs from culture to culture ?
