What is something that bothers society but doesn't bother you? (72)
pKrema: The truth is that in the West nobody gives a dime about the others...
They call it minding their own business...
You will be asked "how are you" ten times a day but nobody will wait to hear the answer, cause they don't care and they don't want to know...

unlaoised: Only in the West?
Well... misinterpretation of a greating phrase, might be due to differnces in social codes. Plus the temptation to translate "How do you do" literally.I dont' know about Bulgaria, but in Russia no one would ask you "How do you feel?" if they are not interested. Neighbours or collegues would say: "Hi!" or "Good day!" and that's that. You have your friends and family to spill your feelings in front of.
In Sweden they would ask "How do you feel?" (Hur mår du?) with a very compassionate facial expression, but it's nothing more, than "Moning". Can be a touch hypocritical and averting in the beginning, but then you get used to it :)

Here, asking How are you, or How do you do is also just a polite greeting.I dont' know about Bulgaria, but in Russia no one would ask you "How do you feel?" if they are not interested.

It isn't an opening to hear about your digestive or gout problems.
Those are best kept for somebody who cares.

As I said: different social codes, that are near impossible to learn from a textbook. You have to step into it a time or two before you know better :)It isn't an opening to hear about your digestive or gout problems.

ysabeljhen: People go crazy the moment a couple gets married. And it's not far that they start expecting a “good news”. When a couple says they don't want to have children it's frowned upon. Gossiped about. And God knows how much insults the couple has to hear, because they didn't go by the rules of the society.
That doesn't bother me at all
We are all guilty at times of taking everyone and everything in our life for granted. We are also are guilty of not having the Ability to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. That doesn't bother me at all
In addition, mothers can be discreet when breastfeeding in public otherwise they not ENTITLED to exposing themselves and their baby to lots of people that are uncomfortable with it and some perverts. How we behave in society should be a benefit to all groups. Finally, we must realize that we will only spend 30 seconds thinking/gossiping about another because we are too busy thinking about ourselves and that works both ways!

I said what I have experienced and what Western people find as a difference when they come to live in the East... No misinterpretation or misunderstanding or social codes...

Thanks a lot for your nice input on this topic presented...
Letting other people live their own lives the way they want! I always here people saying this person should do this or that. Or they will talk and gossip about how terribly they think someone has handled something.
I used to be like that too but I finally learned to accept that everyone has the right to lead life how they want to lead it and unless they ask me for my thoughts I don’t need to force them out there.

"What is something that bothers society but doesn't bother you?"
In the USA, the media labels everyone. Politically, Class, Race, Gender etc.. It is annoying and doesn't always apply.
I avoid labels unless absolutely necessary

What doesn't bother me are the wars in Africa and the middle east. If they want to kill each other, well, be my guest.
Only things that bother me are: I hope none of those fighters survives. And don't come running to Europe to get free money.
