Similarities between African and Asian theater

Mark me a brainiest if this helps

As an African, I what I can tell you is that throughout African culture, respect is one fundamental tradition that we simply just can't do without. In Ghana for example, we're taught as kids to greet every adult we walk past, you greet everyone in a room we walk into, you never call a person older than you by their person name (prefix Mr/Mrs + surname for formal, Brother/Sister + Firstname for young adult, Aunty/Uncle + Firstname for elderly person), you place our hands behind our back when talking to an elderly person, using only your right hand for making gestures (this is because the left hand is used for wiping your you-know-what after visiting the bathroom so you can't use it infront of an elderly person), you can't tell a person older than you that they're wrong, when you meet a person older than you using a staircase you have to wait for him/her to finish that flight before you also use it, you give up your seat to an elderly person, an elderly person can cross you in a queue, you can't talk back to an elderly person and so on. The list actually doesn't end and the rules apply even more towards parents. I know little about Asian culture firsthand because I'm yet to visit there, but the little media depiction about Asia indicates that there is a similar strong social priority to respect.

I feel Africans and Asians share this value more closely than our Western brothers.
