I can't fully answer this for you, but I can say I agree with his statement. In a way, we can relate what he's saying to cultures. I'll use America and China as an example. We have many cultural differences. Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. Privacy: They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which most Americans may think is annoying and intrusive. Family: In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children. Friends: Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Answer 4

I said all of this and use these examples to say, when you are raised in a certain culture that you are used to, it can be hard to understand someone else's cultural ways or point of views.
