How did the term 'Good Morning' come into play? And why isn't 'Good Night' said when it is night time, but you're not just ready to hit the sack yet. Why are there just so many unnecessary rules that we abide to, but the most important ones, we shun them away. Is that the essence of communication? Come to think of it, wouldn't communication be made easier if we share our culture with people, NOT adapting to people's culture and saying goodbye to our own? In that way, there would be a level of understanding, and you will be assured that people respect your boundaries as well as you respect theirs. Also, there must also be a realization that not everything is to be commented on freely; such as religion and the rules that come with it. How exactly will people know these things if you're just there, dissing your own culture and religion? To you it may not be blasphemous but rather, freedom of speech. No offense, but no wonder we Asians are so easy to be manipulated. We take no pride in our culture, we grace the presence of other culture so easily, taking in everything that they practice, we forget our own culture and the essence of it, and then we diss it. How do you expect anyone to respect any of us for that matter?
Isn't communication both ways? I guess, if you're simply accepting, that isn't communication. That is simply nodding. And from nodding, a person can feel like they're talking to someone, without having any of their ridiculous ideas reduced to none. And then, you go back and tell your 'home people' how you've evolved. And that my friend, is globalisation.
