[quote=Anonymous]American culture is individualistic and self-centered, and therefore many people are preemptively cold to strangers or anyone they think will cause disruption. You can see how some people get angry just seeing a kid on their flight, even if the kid hasn’t had a chance to be disruptive yet. I also miss living abroad and this is one aspect of it— I lived in a place that had a strong community culture. And I am not a chatty or outgoing person by any means! I’d never talk up a stranger on a plane. But I also helped random families while traveling, as other young women thought they could trust me and it was frankly expected. Once I held a random baby on a train so mom could go to the bathroom! Many things like that. People are so self centered and cold here in comparison. I am taken aback frequently about how aggressively anti-child/anti helping outside of your little bubble our culture is.[/quote]
