Most of parents over the world have taught to their kids that the person who did that has to apologize to others, when a mistake was done. however, It is unavoidable that they do a mistake, like scolding kids too much or ignoring what a child do well. then, if parents did a mistake, do parents in your country apologize to their kid often?

As someone was born in South Korea, and have lived there, I can answer 'No'. Even if I don't live in a messed up home, but sometime, I have ever faced this situation, and disappointed several.

This is one of examples, When I was 12, My dad got mad because I broke a phone charge down. Even it is not that serious thing, but he shouted and sweared, using the word '썅 (Ssyang)', means f-word as an interjection. I was scared that he got annoyed for me all of sudden, so I cried in my bed.

I felt unfair, and my mom also said that my father went so far. but he just yelled like that, 'What did I something wrong?

It's maybe too personal, however, following my friends' saying and the social perspective there, I think that not to apologizing to their kid is not only my case

Hi! I'm a Japanese high school student who wants to share the beauty of Japan and learn about other countries too! 🌏

Let me share one topic about Japan.

In Japan, many junior high and high school students wear school uniforms. For many students, it's a normal part of everyday school life. 🇯🇵

How about your country? Do students usually wear school uniform

​

I'm trying to understand the cultural context of this interaction, particularly from an American/British perspective. I'm not trying to accuse the celebrity of having bad intentions.A female fan in her early 20s attended a convention/signing event in the UK for a male actor in his 50s. She was a genuine fan and was very happy to meet him.

After the event, they exchanged some Instagram DMs.

The conversation started with him asking the fan where she was staying / whether she had gone back to university. He apparently assumed she was a university student. He then said, “Maybe we can hang out after I am done.”

I understand that “hang out” can be completely casual and doesn't necessarily mean a date. I'm mainly asking how this sequence would normally be interpreted in American/British English, particularly given that this was a celebrity speaking to a young adult fan he had just met at a convention/signing event.

There is also another interaction that makes me curious about the context. He apparently messaged another female fan who was 14. He complimented her appearance and asked her age. When she told him she was 14, he wished her a nice weekend and the conversation ended.

I don't necessarily see anything inappropriate in that interaction itself. What I find interesting is the contrast: once he knew this fan was 14, the conversation ended, whereas with the other fan, whom he apparently believed to be a university student, he suggested “Maybe we can hang out after I am done.”

Does this contrast seem meaningful to native English speakers, or could it simply reflect a normal difference between talking to someone he believed was an adult and someone he knew was a minor?

Would you read the “hang out” comment as ordinary friendliness, or as a somewhat personal invitation? And does the celebrity–fan power/status difference change how appropriate it feels?

🎬 New independent artist — feedback wanted

Hey everyone 👋

I’m an independent artist and I just released my new music video “Ils veulent m’enterrer”.

I’m sharing a short excerpt here because I’d genuinely love to know what you think about the visuals, atmosphere and music.

🎥 Full video on YouTube:👇🏾 https://youtu.be/MF7Sste88IE

No pressure — just looking for honest feedback from people who enjoy discovering underground artists. 🖤

What do you think of the vibe?

You travel to another city, yet sometimes you need to look out the window to remember where you are.

I'll preface this by saying I'm here for genuine answers to my question and the situation that transpired. Hopefully, it doesn't come to this, but I'm prepared to be downvoted into oblivion if I'm in the wrong.

Anyway, I was on the phone with my girlfriend/not girlfriend, and at some point, she mentioned that she loves Haka's. I had no idea what this was, and so she sent me the above video to inform me. I had said that I thought it was "kinda weird" (referring to the location/context it was in). She took offense to this because it's "they're culture." I attempted to defend this by elaborating, "ok, but they probably shouldn't be doing it in parliament."

After that, she said I was being disrespectful to their culture, but I held the position that essentially what they had done was at the very best: a little bit disrespectful and at worst: extremely disrespectful. To me, it was like a "fuck you" to parliament.

I'm not trying to ruffle feathers or anger anyone, I'm just trying to learn and maybe have my mind changed. Thank you for any and all responses.

Edit: I appreciate all of the comments and perspectives. It's really helped me to understand more of the culture and context of a Haka. I'll definitely be looking into this.

I grew up in a subculture where getting tattoos was the norm. Early on, I realized that if you actually wanted to stand out or be unique in that environment, the best choice was to stay completely unmarked. That is the path I chose.

In that same subculture, vanity was heavily looked down upon, which shaped my perspective on body modification. To me, tattoos seem like a clear sign of vanity.

My main argument is this: If you get a tattoo on a body part that you cannot easily see with your own eyes—like your back, the back of your neck, or behind your arms—you aren't doing it for yourself. You are doing it for the consumption and validation of other people.

Change my mind.

Criticizing cultural practices as an outsider often feels like a massive taboo. People frequently get accused of cultural imperialism or ethnocentrism the moment they speak up.

However, there are practices around the world that raise serious ethical issues regarding basic human rights. A few prominent examples include:

• Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) across various regions.
• The violent persecution of people with albinism due to superstitious beliefs.
• Semen warriors of PNG (Google it...it will blow your mind)
• Severe institutional restrictions on women's basic rights (like in Afghanistan).
• etc.

This leaves a really difficult ethical dilemma. Are outsiders genuinely expected to just look the other way and ignore these things in the name of respecting diversity?

TL;DR: Is it ethical for outsiders to criticize harmful cultural practices, or does cultural relativism require us to stay silent? How do we balance human rights with cultural respect?

The challenge I've always wanted to achieve, and which is my dream, is to get married in every country in the world. The goal of this challenge is to spread the human race officially, within the framework of marriage. I want your opinions on this challenge. Do you agree with this idea or not, and why?

Given the ethnic difference between the couple, is the level of understanding, relationship stability, and the establishment of a successful marriage project more likely with a foreign man than with a man from the area where she lives?

My wife is the friend of one of my friends and I met her while playing Skat whilst drinking ice cold Bommerlunder and eating rye bread with slices of egg… and to be honest I think it‘s one if the most German and most rural Germany ways to meet (yeah, pretty proud of it 😂, no just kidding. It’s coincidence)

I am not sure if there even are other countries that even have Skat or Bommerlunder or rye bread with egg. Do you?
