Answer: YEMENI ETHICS

Explanation: Ethics can be defined as the philosophical behavior of an individual governing his understanding towards moral and immoral activities.

In this case the american executive failed to understand and abide the behavior that is considered ethical in the Yemeni society. Shaking hands with left hand and not accepting dry fruits as gifts is not an illegal activity but it does resulted as an offensive action in the eyes of his host.
