I prefer to be honest, unreserved and I demand that from those who know me. Now, criticising the culture, I don't think so, each country, each person with their own values. Nor do I impose my beliefs. Life is about tolerating and being tolerated. Remember my friend @tarazkp ‘we are not gold coins for everyone to like us...’.
Isn't this an imposition of belief?
I am not so sure. Toleration isn't the same as acceptance. Toleration tends to fall apart when there is the chance to stop tolerating. I reckon a lot of the "racism is over in the US" is more that toleration took hold, rather than actual progress.
No, it is teaching with values. We can't confuse values with beliefs, can we…?
Demanding from others isn't teaching values, it is imposing will. What punishment do you impose if you feel if your demands aren't being met?
