Culture Acclimatization

It is a must to learn other's cultures in advance, so as to avoid culture shock. This is what I noticed after having stayed in a foreign land for almost 2 months. Unlike in the Philippines where our parents have inculcated in our young minds the word conservativeness; teenagers here are very much liberated. They don't show even a little sign of hesitation at all when it comes to expressing their feelings. They just love public display of affection whether on trains, buses, or malls. I can't imagine seeing my daughter doing things that are certainly regarded as taboo in the society. Although I find it convenient to live and work here, but definitely I am against the idea of living here for good. I just pity women in general because it is their reputation that is at stake. Thus, I highly appreciate television shows giving relationship advice for women because these greatly help boost esteem and confidence in them. I just wish that the concerned individuals will also give a little consideration to their parents. Bearing in mind that they will become parents too in the future, so why not be sensitive enough.
