I found it funny that the western culture is having so much trouble with their "modern lifestyles". Racism, self-esteem are among of the trouble. I recently read about this issue where t-shirt for kids (girls) are sold with the statement "i'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me", or something like that.And it was considered very controversial.Well, in my opinion, maybe the western culture shouldn't be too obsessed with the Hollywood image in the first place.A lot of the gossip blog, TV shows or such use very harsh words in describing what it "in" and out for fashion. I always read how people who are not so pretty being put down and critized for fashion mishap and such just because they do not look good enough. Being pretty is such a huge deal for the western culture. If someone decided that you are not pretty enough, you might get bully and such. I never could understand the intensity of the bullying cases in the western culture but i do heard quite a number of high school students who commit suicide due to being bullied. I do not know this in number but I have never really heard anyone being bullied to death in my country. Because we accept people for who they are and if people are not pretty, they always have something else to make up for it and that is they main thing that we see. I do not feel the urge to be with just pretty friends only. Even if I saw someone being bullied, I would support him/her not just leave them behind just because they are the school's outcast. To be honest, I am so glad I am an Asian. Technically, we are smarter and I am not worried of the problems that my daughter will call me by my name, sleeping around,being bullied, being extremely rude or promiscuous and disrespect for me BECAUSE it rarely happens in here.
