Social Life in the Marshall Islands
Behavior
The people of the Marshall Islands are very humble and modest as they rarely express themselves in a way to offend another. This comes in respecting other people, dressing modestly, avoiding outward signs of wealth or affection, and having a reverence for God as most people are Christian.
As a visitor to the Marshall Islands, that same modesty is expected; modesty in dress, actions, words, and every aspect of your life. Many of the most important behavioral restrictions to be aware of are related to dress, dating (see below for both), and dining (see our Marshall Islands Food & Dining Page for more information). Also try to avoid being loud, rude, showing off wealth, or getting drunk in public.
