Cultural differences - Asia vs Europe

Cultural differences - Asia vs Europe

I dunno about the queue thing. It depends where I guess since Asia seemed more organized.

In Asia: If you open your mind, if you show your direct feelings or opinions, you'll be judged. lol It sucks to be educated in Asia as a child, to be honest. It's really rare for the adults to give the children any logical or analytical thinking. Instead of focusing on the "facts", they try to keep the conventional way of thinking and neglect others if your opinion doesn't match with theirs. My parents were like that, my teachers were all like that. Even my art teacher was like that too, so she never let me learn anything I wanted to learn. They'd always say, "That's useless. You're wasting your time. You don't even need to think about it because nobody thinks that way or nobody thinks it's important". Stuff like that. Those people who were in specialty, those who I wanted to admire, was like that too. They were working for their job not in a way they think is right, but rather they always followed or copied someone's path. So nobody is unique in this country, and if your thinking is unique, then you'll get neglected.
What I should have realized was that.. instead of acting like I'm admitting their thoughts and even trying to improve that acting skill, I just needed to "Prove" that my thinking could be right too. Maybe I was just too afraid to be denied that I just followed what they say. It sucks that I realized it late.

As a Mongolian, I can tell that Mongolians are just like this. But not rest all asian countries like this. Look at japanese and south Koreans.
But every culture has Cons and pros. Both should learn each other.
Sorry bout my bad English.

This is very biased and pro-european, not considering Asia's vastly different cultures, the humongous population, and the history of being colonized(resources looted by Europeans)

I disagree with the punctuality because it varies across different countries and cultures in both Europe and Asia. Yes, it’s true that most Asian countries do not think punctuality is important but there are some countries in Asia where punctuality is regarded as utmost important, the Japanese are famous for being the most punctual people. And also, not all European countries value punctuality, sure Germany and the Northern European countries definitely think punctuality is important but countries in southern Europe like France, Italy and Spain, people there are notorious for being later than the scheduled time. So I would have to say that it’s more complicated than just Europe vs Asia. Not all European cultures are the same and not all Asian countries are the same as well.

Most Asians are like that. But we should also embrace new perspectives. There are many better people than that. Standards should not be imposed on anyone. That's prejudice

[Morethanfight]

I am originally Asian but many cultures do not suit me, on the contrary I am more suited to many European cultures.

As an india this is 100% true 😂 we are like this and i think all asian countries can relate this

[turpasauna]

This really depends on the country. Punctuality: very diffent in, say, Italy or Spain vs Japan or Finland or Germany. I feel like in general Asians get along with almost anyone, they are mild-mannered and respectful.

[moonlightpaw]

As Asian I have to say Europe is better in Asian in way of thinking. They are also way open minding and love animals

[jenachou]

I do not agree. some of the "Asian" behaviors you showed here do not apply in Japan.

[Sokon]

The punctuality? compare German train and MRT with Indonesia

[tungo]

I am an Asian. Fortunately, I dont think like the rests!

[troysimmons]

Punctuality my favorite your late or your early 🤔 Asians what ?

[nhunghong-peck]

These are unfair and biased opinions!!
