the first is with having to do with age or status it seems that every teacher in the university is called by professor by the students and not by their name. Here in the U.S. the students call their teachers by their last name and if there are teachers that seem to be close to the students then they would even call them by their first name.
The second fact with greetings is the way in which they greet. In Turkey the men touch each others cheek and the women give a kiss on each cheek and the same goes with the opposite sex greeting. In Turkey they are not afraid to be close to each other when speaking and are comfortable in that way. While in the U.S. you either shake hands or wave in the distance. In the U.S. it is always about having your space and the Americans are not comfortable with someone so close to them when speaking and would rather have a little conversations with people.
