Tell me something about your culture
Something my parents taught:
In Hinduism, we touch our parents feet before the exam and they bless us. It's a sign of respect we have towards them.
During disagreement, we can have healthy arguments but we are not to raise our voice before our parents.
We remove our shoes before entering someone's house because we believe God resides in there. A shrine / idol etc .
We cannot accidentally throw our books or touch them with our feet because it's a huge disrespect to the Goddess of knowledge.
When we are seated in the bus or train, we get up to give our place to women and men older to us. Same at any que including ATMs
We never criticize food we are served because it's considered disrespectful.
We have to make sure we don't waste the food and if at all anything is untouched we parcel it and give it to the homeless.
We usually don't say NO to our parents when they ask us to do something - like running some errands.
We are not to look down upon people only because they come from a different socio economic class, caste, community, religion or race. Or for that matter profession.
We are supposed to communicate amicably with the poor and homeless who might need our help and help them financially.
We are supposed to welcome the guests and give them the best hospitality and the most important thing is to serve water as soon as they arrive followed by tea and snacks.
There's a lot more.
