SPAIN
Countries such as Spain have a culture whereby being in close proximity to friends and family when communicating is expected. In contrast, Australia is a country where people are highly reserved in terms of their proximity to each other (whether well known to them or a stranger) when communicating. In the case of a Spanish person wearing this second skin, they will have the ability to show their typical level of affection (hugging) when greeting those they know. It will also protect them in one of the few scenarios whereby they feel a need for protection eg. on the train. On the other hand, an Australian will still be able to greet someone in a typical manner in which they feel comfortable with (hand shake) but the structure will have the ability to protect their personal space by opening up when the string is pulled. This tightens the structure and the modules are tightened.
