See the differences?

No wonder why many would like to come to America it's because of it's abundance in many ways. Food, clothing and more. As what I observed, the poorest man here in America is still better than the poor man in other countries. I mean, hello,... the poor man here has a car and a house to live. But the poor people in other countries have no house to live and no food to eat.
The government here in America is supporting the poor. The needy can apply for government aid and there are many organizations who are helping the homeless. Many people who have things to share will give their donations to the needy. That is great!!!

Well, in some countries, you can see children and grown up in the streets begging for food and money. Well, I am just wondering why they do that? they are not disable? they can work, like car washing, selling something or anything their hands can do, they can earn. The problem is they are lazy. Most are just hanging around talking to friends, having good time instead of looking for something to do in order to earn.

Here in America, people have always something to do, except maybe for others who are disabled but even then, they are doing something. They are not begging on the streets.
There is a blind couple in our church, they are supported by the government but still they are working some crafts that their hands can do even if they can't see. Most people here are not having servants to work for them, they will do the work at home themselves even if they are busy in their full time job outside home. Most have no time to stay idle. But in other countries?
they have house helper to do the task at home, cook for their food, wash their clothes and most of their house helpers are stay in. Well, very seldom here have house helpers who are stay in.
Most helpers are paid per hour. When the work is done, they will be out.
I have seen the big differences when I myself had seen it. I just heard things like these before but now I see the differences.

Dealing with cultural differences

Dealing with cultural differences is not an easy thing. I was raised in a conservative society where people around me have their own standard and cultural values very different from the Western world. When I was in the Philippines, I am highly respected by the kids especially my students. Every time they will see me, they will bow their heads as a sign of respect and say their greetings like, good morning ma'am, good afternoon or good evening. It was a shocking experience for me when I arrived in the US where children just call me by my name. Oh!! What? I am 40 plus? Lol and they just call me by my name? the kids? at first as if I was choked. I almost reprimand them but I then realize, hey!! this is not my country and this is how they were brought up. How would I let them know I don't like the way they call me? Well, believe me, I wrestled inside me for I am not comfortable that the kids will just call me by my name. But can I change their culture? haha.. I came to realize I can never do that. As the days go by I learn to accept the fact that I am no longer in my country where kids respect the old people. Kids in the Philippines will never called the older ones by their names but here in US it is normal for them to do that.
