Does each culture youth behave differently?

[Anonymous]

I've noticed for example by talking to people from turkey that the younger adults are far more responsible, focused and behave and think more mature than the older adults, then I look back at my country and the youth is obsessed about dumb shit and it makes me wonder and think about the generation differences in other countries and parts of the world

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yes and no?

Depends on what you mean with culture. Opposing countries is misleading, because each of us, young or not, are influenced by multiple backgrounds and trends at the same time:

• Country's culture, an Irish and an Indian live in very different worlds and standards
• Social class, if you're from the working class, it's likely you've been taught to work hard to get anything at all, whereas the middle class puts you in an already comfortable scenario.
• Urban or rural, if you're in the sticks and you dream big, it's likely you're going to want to focus much more than your urban equivalent
• Religious traditions, which aren't supposed to be fun, so it should generate more industrious people than frivolous ones, overall.

Those 4 parameters are cultures per se, they influence our fate, behaviour, views, collectively and individually.

I’m not sure, but I think pretty much. Turkey is very difficult to communicate with any of them I’ve struggled over the years and they have some very weird different philosophies and ideas they seemed pretty much miserable and I feel sorry for them but they don’t get out there and do anything about it

[Asker]

Yea cause they can't from what I heard something about their president 😂

[Iron_Man]

They can’t stand their country

[Asker]

Nope they can't lol

[Iron_Man]

Yes.:::

[midnightmoon05]

For sure. America teaches their kids to become lazy and entitle and dumb.
only the top 10% are in control… the rest? Dumb so they never fight back… hooked on bad foods and media.

we were in France - the 14 yr old are traveling alone to other countries to seek employment… 14-18 yr old kids in the US are to sit home and play video games. Can’t cook or clean etc.

[Asker]

Ey to be fair video games are a good hobby 😂

[midnightmoon05]

Okay to have hobbies. You know it’s beyond hobby for most. It’s an addiction.
The point is … the youth in the US are restricted to grow and learn responsibilities and consequences compared to those raised from other cultures.

[Asker]

Yea cause the government is doing everything wrong lol

[midnightmoon05]

The government is doing everything right lol… very successful… u know why?

[MrChinaski]

'Decadence' is, perhaps, the word you are looking for.

[Asker]

They are brainwashing the youth into a work for others system, they don't teach children to learn and evolve and work for themselves, it teaches them to learn what you will need so you can find a job and make someone else rich, then on top of that you go to college, pay for it and then when you leave college and find a job you have to work to pay of that loan then after you pay that off you can start collecting scraps for yourself, they publish a lot of junk in the media as well, anything that will distract you from true progression, the governments true intentions it to dumb everyone down so they can rule with corruption, I've figured that out on my own by just observing everything

[midnightmoon05]

That is correct, smart to see it at your age.
Don’t forget the purpose of the beautiful lawn, the school debt, the car loans, the credit card debts, the mortgages…. It’s call slavery.

[Asker]

Yea modern day slavery, the only difference is that they give you scraps to hide it, once you accept their coins they wipe their hands clean that they are slowly killing you until you can't work anymore and then they just replace you with Timmy that just got out of college 😂

[midnightmoon05]

Exactly… us little ants can be crashed by them and replaced. I see at work… how we have no rights or protections. So learn to look after ourselves.
They already stripped our family unity… when there is no unity… there is weakness.
Anyway… nice chatting young man… go conquer the world.

[Asker]

I forgot to answer to this lol, thanks midnight 😂

[midnightmoon05]

😊👍

I wonder if it's down to how safe your area is. I was bouncing all over the country with friends as a teen but I could see people being more restricted elsewhere for safety reasons.

[Asker]

I really doubt it, I think it's just how the country is organized or whatnot but I don't know lol

Yes, youth behavior can vary across cultures, but not as much as people think.

Cultural values, social norms, and expectations definitely shape how young people express themselves, communicate, and make decisions.

But at the core, a lot of things are universal, identity, belonging, curiosity, and the desire to be understood.

So the differences are mostly in expression, not in the underlying human experience.

[Asker]

Interesting

[queenofcardio]

Yes, definitely. Even in my upbringing and within my cultural background, my parents were adamant about teaching us certain skills early on.

[Asker]

That's actually pretty cool, what culture would this be?

[Anonymous]

There are groups of cultures with specific youth behavior. It's related to country's tradition, customs, religion, philosophy etc.

[Asker]

Fair enough

[Anonymous]

I think you are generalizing. by the way where are you from?

[Asker]

From the US 🫠

[Snakeyes7]

Yes they absolutely do.
