There are so many different cultures as there are different countries in the world. People, especially young people, have different likes and dislikes, from town to town.
In the west for example, young people can pretty much do what they want, because their culture and law allows them. The western cultures are originally influenced by European cultures. People listen to music. They use the internet, especially YouTube, which is a free program, where you can listen to music or watch video clips. In the USA people have different hobbies, like American football, baseball, ice hockey and so on. The clothing is quit neutral, for example a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. Young people like going to music concerts, to see and listen to their favorite music artists.

Here in Finland, our culture has a few manners that we follow. Our school system doesn’t claim any school uniforms, everyone is entitled to speak freely, go to school and make an Honest Euro, by working and so on. As in the USA we have a huge sport interest. We play football, Finnish baseball, ice hockey, we do skiing and ski jumping. The clothing is also quit the same as in the USA. We have a lot of music concerts: rock, pop, rap and also classic.

In the eastern countries on the other hand, the young people are more restricted, formed by their cultures. They must live by the manners of their parents or by the laws of their home country, or by the manners of their religion. This is probably the biggest difference between the western- and the eastern cultures.
For example in India people are not huge sports fan, but they do play for example football and cricket. The clothing in India is pretty much the same as in the western countries. The music culture in India is different from the western music culture. People play traditional music, for example Hindu music.
I think that it’s a good thing that the cultural differences are recognizable even among younger generations. “The differences make the difference.”
I really liked your approach to this assignment. Instead of bad habits, you focused on the freedom and differences of the youth. Very good post Niilo keep up the good work.
VastaaPoistaThe point of view of yours was really awesome! Like antero said you concentrated on the good ways of young and wild people. Oh and by the way your post is awesome and so is the blog skin!
VastaaPoistaYou made me think that maybe we aren't all doomed. So thanks for that! Nice and positive thinking.
VastaaPoistaNice to read the positive ideas your post instilled in others!
VastaaPoistaI started wondering about generalisations, though. Are you really sure that "people in India are not huge sports fans", for example? How do you know this? I would think sports plays a significant role in any culture. What about eastern people "living by the laws of their country"? Don't we do that in Finland, too?
I agree with Sinikka,
VastaaPoistayou maybe generalized it a little too much. For example most people in China don't have a religion. So not all Asian teenagers are so similar. But I like that you showed the differences and similarities.
