Smile What is it about your society that you like?

In this forum we have many respondents from different cultures. What is it about your society that you like. Let's all focus on the positives rather than dwell on the negatives.

Here's my take:

I am from India. My country is on the threshold of great progress being one of the most vibrant economies of the world. I live in an open society which gives equal opportunity to all. We have freedom of expression, no great barriers of interaction. of course, I am an urban youth so I maybe have greater opportunities than the less fortunate, but at least we have freedom to make choices.

I like the fact that my country (Singapore) is forward looking and competitive economically even though this may result in people being more pressurized. The democratic system allows for fair competition and the most capable will get the job.
I also like the fact that we can safely walk on the streets at night without fear of being mugged.

Africa might be poor economically but home is home and there is no place like home. there is no place like Africa. Culturally, Africa is the richest continent. religiously, there is no place like Africa. Socially, there is no continent like Africa. Despite the fact that we are poor economically, Africa still remains the best place on earth. Plenty of trees and sunshine. Plenty of animals and rainfall. There is no place like Africa.

I'm American, and there is quite a lot I don't agree with, but a lot I love as well. I think what I enjoy about my society is that we genuinely mean well. There are endless charity groups, peace projects, even people just willing to take you into their homes, stranger who help each other every day with acts of kindness, both small and large.

there are lot of things:
1. There is a kind of social security as in when I am in need there is somebody to help.
2. Being social is what i like and the place where i live is in this view only. I have lot of friends around.
3. They are always one step ahead in spreading social awareness about critical issues like global warming, Aids ets.

I like most elements of my society, I am content. Although there are exceptions ( and in a big society lots of exceptions) most people care about others, even if only a little. We have good health care and our schools are getting better. There are of course bad points but i choose not to focus on those.

it is one of the best cultures in the world and is still followed by the masses very gracefully and with dedication
and it is because of our culture only that makes us a distinctive india on the world's map

I am an Indian, and I like the way India is progressing in the field of technology. I also like that my country is getting effected by western culture, I like western culture a lot.

Also, the Indian original culture is also good and is very rich. I like the way it is going and I am very satisfied and happy with the society I live in

I like how secure America is Vs. other places. Although there is a lot of crime, after traveling around a lot myself I've come to realize it could be a lot worse. It's amazing how appreciative you become when you see other poor, worse off countries, but even more so when you're young.

Every time i am faced with some sort of a crisis i have had the good fortune of meeting such kind strangers who have helped me out expecting nothing in return. It has restored my faith in humanity. In my society there is a strong feeling of family and everyone is very sociable. I like who we hold on to our old values and culture so dearly while are open to foreign mindsets and beliefs. Our ability to learn and respect each other together is what i like about society.

America is a land of freedom and even if you don't have money, you still have freedom which is the most important thing. Nobody can intimidate you in America even if you are poor and homeless.
