UKEng,
LOL... the other day I said that and all of the sudden I had a few citizens from India looking at me with an awkward face. I had to explain what I meant, just like you did here.
The reality is a fact, and it’s well known that nationals behave with national traits. Their culture and education, conditions and limits them to behave in a certain submissive way. Clearly there are differences between western cultures & educations and eastern cultures & educations, regardless the race or ethnic background of the individual.
In the west we are educated to challenge even our superiors, to ask questions, to always try to find better solutions to the existent ones and develop a problem solving ability out of the box. In the east, it’s a different reality.
This is just a simple explanation, but there are many cultural studies by several published authors, that have reached these conclusions.
Qatar is an interesting cultural behavior study case!
