6 posts in this topic

I am from 3rd world country and there so many things consider as bad in our culture. These are some of them. 

Talking to elderly people if you are boy. 

Asking people money if you are boy: for example to buy candy etc. 

If someone invited you food and you refused to eat. 

If you ask someone food, especially if you are boy. 

If you are small boy and talk with small girl. 

Talking, filtering, about sex even if you are in intimate relationship. 

 

What about in yours.

In my culture, many of the things that are considered "bad" I would say I align with in terms of my values. I'd say I'm Iucky to live in a pretty "stage green" corner of the world. Here are some examples:

  • Judging people based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and so on
  • Excess displays of wealth, status
  • Public displays of anger
  • Spanking or hitting your children
  • Sexual harassment, cat-calling women and so on
  • Smoking
  • Using plastic bags, straws, disposable packaging
  • Driving a bigger car/truck etc than you really need
  • Burning fossil fuels unnecessarily in general
  • Wasting food, clothes, possessions
  • Watching TV
  • Leading a physically unhealthy lifestyle, diet and so on

How to get to infinity? Divide by zero.
