My aim was not to be play to the stereotypes. However I don't understand why as westerners we are so judgemental of people from other places. It is true we have been exposed to many things that people in other parts of the world can only dream of. However we seem to have this notion that if people don't do things the western way, then they are backwards, oppressive, etc. Personally, I think that to a certain extent we are taught to be selfish which in turn affects the quality of our relationships. This is why in many cases we tend to focus on our own pleasure and pursuit of happiness regardless of what implications it may have on the lives of others.
I also understand that not all of us fit the above mentioned discription. However, I believe that people should correct themselves before judging others. Therefore I am being harder on the group I belong to in order that we may take clean up our own houses.
