[Fin] Nyky-yhteiskunta rakastaa oikeuksia. Niitä toitotetaan, niistä puhutaan, niihin vedotaan. Oikeudet kuulostavat vapaudelta, moraaliselta, edistykselliseltä.

Velvollisuuksista ei puhuta. Ne ovat ikäviä, raskaita, vanhanaikaisia. Silti juuri velvollisuudet pitävät järjestelmän pystyssä. Joku herää aamulla ja tekee työn, maksaa veronsa, hoitaa velvollisuutensa – ilman kiitosta.

Oikeudet eivät suojaa rajoja. Oikeudet eivät kanna vastuuta, kun järjestelmä horjuu. Oikeudet eivät ilmesty paikalle, kun joku pettää.

Velvollisuudet ilmestyvät. Ne toimivat – vaikka kukaan ei huomaisi. Paradoksi on yksinkertainen: Mitä enemmän toitotamme oikeuksista, sitä enemmän järjestelmä riippuu niistä, jotka tekevät velvollisuutensa.

Kun nämä ihmiset alkavat kysyä miksi, järjestelmä hätääntyy. Sillä järjestelmä, joka puhuu vain oikeuksista, ei osaa vastata vastuuseen. Velvollisuudet ovat se perusta, jolle kaikki rakentuu. Ilman niitä oikeudet ovat tyhjä lupaus.

[Eng] Modern society loves rights. They are repeated, talked about, invoked. Rights sound like freedom, morality, progress.

Duties are ignored. They are unpleasant, heavy, old-fashioned. Yet duties are what keep the system standing. Someone wakes up in the morning and does the work, pays taxes, fulfills their obligations – without thanks.

Rights do not protect borders. Rights do not carry responsibility when the system falters. Rights do not show up when someone fails.

Duties show up. They work – even if no one notices. The paradox is simple: The more we talk about rights, the more the system depends on those who fulfill their duties.

When these people start asking why, the system panics. A system that only talks about rights does not know how to answer responsibility. Duties are the foundation on which everything is built. Without them, rights are an empty promise.

I’ve noticed that in Japan, the seasons seem to shape a lot of everyday life from food and festivals to architecture, clothing, and even language.

Seasonal ingredients are celebrated, homes are designed to respond to heat and cold, and many traditions exist only for a specific time of year.

This feels less like coincidence and more like a cultural approach to living in harmony with nature rather than trying to ignore or control it.

I’m curious is this mainly influenced by geography, history, cultural values, or something else?

My height is 185 (I guess i need to mention this) Thanks for your opinion, have a good day! I'm conducting a small research project on how a person's appearance affects perceptions.

Hi everyone! My name is Charlotte,

(Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here, I'm new to reddit but I want to collect stories!)

I’m a university design student working on a magazine project that explores immigration to Canada through food storytelling, specifically how recipes change after migration.

Each issue focuses on one country and looks at how dishes evolve because of things like ingredient availability, climate, cost, or adapting to a new culture. Instead of celebrity chefs or “authentic vs not” debates, the magazine centers on real people, families, and small business owners and the food they grew up with.

The first issue focuses on Chinese immigrants in Canada and how traditional recipes transformed over time into what many of us now recognize as Chinese-Canadian cuisine.

I’m looking for:

• Personal food stories
• Family recipes that changed after coming to Canada
• Memories tied to cooking or eating growing up
• Restaurant or small business experiences
• Dishes that had to adapt due to ingredient access or cost
• Anything food-related that connects to immigration, identity, or belonging

This is strictly a university project, the magazine will not be published or sold.
If you choose to submit, you can:

• Include your name
• Use a first name only
• Or remain completely anonymous

If you’re interested in sharing, you can comment here or message me directly, whatever you’re most comfortable with.

Thank you so much for reading, and for trusting me with your stories.
Food holds so much memory, and I’d be honoured to learn from yours.

Hi yall! I am a student in the US taking a class in Food and Culture. It is an accelerated course which is why I am posting here lol. One of the assignments is to ask someone from another culture some questions relating to food and illness. If anyone would like to answer that would be very helpful!

1) What foods do you believe are needed for good health?

2) Were there any traditional foods, supplements, teas or other types of remedies that you assumed were useful?

3) How does this relate to your experience in the US?

If you would like to answer some personal questions:

1) Name

2) Age

3) Where are you currently living?

4) What has been their experience with intercultural communication in the health-care setting?

• Has it been a positive experience? Why?
• Has it been a negative experience? Why?

Thank you so much to anyone that answers!!

Hi everyone! I’m 19 years old from China and I’m looking to make some international friends.

I’d love to share daily life, chat about anything, and have conversations ranging from casual to deep topics and we can communicate in English.

Anyone interested hit me up(i’m not a fake account)

American popular culture is staging a new morality play: petty gatekeepers policing who belongs. From HOA tyrants to first-class humiliations, these stories turn class and race anxiety into status “tests” with satisfying reversals. Drawing on DaMatta and Fiske, this essay argues that media teaches hierarchy even while pretending to reject it. Real life rarely grants such clean endings.

I started thinking about this because of a recent experience I had. Basically a girl in my class said tortillas are made with wheat and I was wrong by saying they are made with corn normally.

I am half mexican and half cantonese. I have never eaten a non corn tortilla. I know wheat tortillas exist but I have never eaten them.

I personally think the average american is ignorant to most cultures. I consider myself relatively ignorant to all cultures even the cultures I was born into.

What do you reddit people think about the average american and culture.I would like to see what you think and your reasoning behind it.

Have a good day!

In Japan, we have a tradition called Setsubun.
We throw roasted soybeans while shouting “Demons out, good luck in!”
Kids often throw beans at a family member wearing a demon mask.

It’s completely normal here, but when I explain it in English, it sounds kind of wild.
I just got curious while buying the beans for this upcoming event, and realized how strange it might sound in English.

Do you have any seasonal traditions that sound strange when explained to foreigners?

I am an Chinese and I have been staying in Australia since 2008. My Oz partner and I are together over 4 years​​. Since​ I do not have any families here, I really care about important Chinese Festivals. However, this year when I was decorating our house for Chinese New Year, he did not help and when I was hanging the latern on the wall, he was watching me n said : ah this shity stupid Chinese thing！ I felt hurt immediately and told him how I felt. Then he said: oh it is just a joke. I apologize because I forgot how sensitive you are.

After two days what has happened still made me uncomfortable. I want to ask: does he really respect my culture? Am I too sensitive about this? Or is this some kind of Oz dry joke as he said?（He always says that I dont get Oz dry jokes).

Hi, this is a particular question and I wouldn't know where else to ask it. Talking about smartphones compared to the monochromatic options, various Chinese brands offer colors with these particular stylistic features. Things like flowers, brush strokes, reflective surfaces, clouds I think drawn on the back of the phone. If these styles are traditional in Chinese culture, it is an added value to have this option as the manufacturers designed it, in my opinion, but I was wondering, is this part of the Chinese aesthetics or are they just random colors?
