These days we hear a lot of people who criticize other cultures for whatever reason, whether justified or not. I would like to discuss aspects of other cultures from non-english speaking countries that we could learn from to improve our own lives.
Please try to keep this thread positive!
----------
One example is that in many non-white cultures, especially in poor countries, there is a much stronger family bond than in the west. Elderly parents will live with their children instead of being sent to retirement homes, children being looked after by family members rather than strangers at daycares etc. And I have some non-white friends who won't go out to party with friends on New Years Eve but will stay home with their family to celebrate. Divorces are also less in non-western countries, for better or worse.
They also have bigger families with more children, so lots of brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews etc all playing with each other and hanging out during holidays and birthdays etc, which I wish I had growing up.
