sir, many times i said that no matter which cultural background we adopt, it would first prove good for the common people, and then only we would adopt that cultural change in our society. there must be a good reason, why would we adopt cultural change until that certain change may prove itself good/ worth for the society. today, whatever technology US/EU have, they got from high skilled migrants of developing countries. it is even a common talks in western nations that they generally give scientific awards to their own people for the works which were done by the high skilled migrants............
i have seen australian society from a very close and i can say that, that society just can't produce good students. an environment to study hard is absent there, only having body and good in sports which help them win more medals and perform excellent while doing labor jobs, only. i lived in a house in early 2008, i think it was belonging to a relative of Mr Howard, where me and one guy from New Zealand and one australian girl was living, who might be related to Mr Howard in someway. and in front of we two, mother of that aussie girl used to come with boy friend of that girl to drop him few times. and that girl was also under high school passed, was working on customer service job and also used to work as a waitress also. but its obvious that she can't work on good position as simply she was not qualified enough and also she didn't grew up in the environment that she may try to study hard and rise. and the result is, people like me work on at least $100k+ while the labors are paid for hourly basis, hardly $17-$20/hour and she was one of them. that guy of New Zealand, Cameron, was earing little good money, around $30/hour, as he was a laborer on a mine site.
sir, we must be able to open mouth to clearly state, how a person study hard, qualify in different exams and hence got a status of having high qualification from a top ranked institutes and then he/she work on different technical institutes to help the US/UK/Australia/Canada type countries have high techs. winning different wars in 19th and 20th centuries made these western nations in the position to attack high skills from other nations and hence they could maintain the lead. Britain/US were extremly benefitted from this trend. or, Japan type countries also helped them have high techs in past. and its our culture which has powered us to perform so good on the side of education and there would a good reason, why would we adopt western culture if it will not help our next generation to grow in future, will finally take our society towards destruction??? why would we become one day like US/UK/Australia who wait for the high educated people to come from overseas, and in fact, this is why their fall is in front of them..... no matter which cultural background we adopt, it must first prove worth/good for the society.
I don't know if you were referring to me, but since this post is directly below mine, I will assume that it was addressed at me. I don't think countries or people in general should ever completely abandon their own culture. There is a difference between abandoning, evolving, & enhancing. Cultural evolution is going on all the time, we may not even realize it sometimes, but the social norms of society keep changing regularly. It has been like this since millennia. No society can claim to have an un-evolved or pure culture.
This evolution of culture occurs for a variety of reasons. It may occur due to conquests, a change in religion, perhaps even to deal with new emerging crises faced by a nation. It could also occur for the sake of prosperity or mimicking the good cultural values of those that prospered. When we adopt new cultural values, we will aim to adopt those that benefit us, not those that may lead to greater societal ills. It's true that Western culture suffers from sexual immorality, but other aspects of their culture, such as the freedom of speech, thought, & expression are concepts that we direly need in our own nations.
While browsing through this forum itself, you may have noticed the vociferous reaction some people have to opposing views or ideologies. The reason for this is that in our societies people aren't taught to question, instead they are told to accept. This is especially true when it comes to religious education. It's the lack of critical thinking & questioning that has led to the formation of foolish ideologies resulting in dumb extremist or fanatical viewpoints. Is there any way to prevent this? Yes there is, we can learn from other nations & study the steps they took to solve their own societal ills & adopt them. In the end, it is the nation or society at large that will benefit from this enhancement of culture.
