do you think a compliment of a person based on his own cultural knowledge can be a taboo, curse, social stigma or bad concept in another culture?

how can one overcome this overcomplicated situation?

Learn the other persons language, customs, and culture. Simple no???

and it is thaaaat easy? learning about a culture?
and how many cultures can you learn and keep your cultural identity safe?

A clash of two cultures? Try living in Scotland, when it's a Celtic v Rangers Derby day match, in Glasgow! I've been to countless games and had to fight my way home also at times against complete strangers in the street, just because I support Celtic!

Can someone rephrase the question? I don't get it :/

let me try again
the question is
people from two different cultures interact and one of them finds that the other's cultural values are offensive to him/her. what would you do in such situation?

We have that in Scotland, as it's a divided Country when it comes to religion. Catholics vs Protestants. I'm a Catholic and support Celtic, Protestants support Rangers and there's no in between. That's a real clash of two cultures. You should read up about it? There's parts of Scotland, that I can't go, because if they find out I'm a Catholic, I could get attacked, or killed, as it's happened to people before countless times!

Ah, thank you.
Then you have a problem because you won't be compatible. That's the thing with different cultures, and most people underestimate the importance of it.
If person X embraces his culture and its values while his partner Z finds them offensive, how can you live together? It means your incompatible. Irreconcilable differences.

When in relationship with someone from another culture -even one close to yours- there's always stuff you will never truly get or cannot share because the other didn't grow up with it. Many brush that aside, then find out later that the little things are actually huge.

Never, ever, date the easily offended.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't have it do advanced calculus with a lobster bib and a Little Richard's Greatest Hits CD

Sadly, being in love can sometimes be overwhelmed by other factors. Culture, religious beliefs, circumstance, family, etc.

When you accept a person, you must also accept many other things which neither of you can always control or work around.

You have to be on the same general path in life -or things will become difficult to impossible. Then you have to be realistic about things standing in the way of your happiness and peace -see if a relationship will lead to unhappiness or misfortune -see what can be done about things -make a plan and go for it -or make the best choice for the well-being of both.

Depends on too many things.

I mean are we talking about coworkers?
Are we talking about a foreigner traveling to a different country and getting lost?
Are we talking about two people sitting on the bus for a 10 minute ride?
Are we talking about 2 world/corporate/social leaders trying to set policy?
Are we talking about protestors?
Are we talking about 2 random people on the internet interacting via forums?

Why are they interacting?
What's the point of the interaction?
What are realistic consequences of the interaction?

You ask what I would do in such a situation.
But which person am I in this situation?
Am I the one that finds their cultural values offensive?
Or do they find my cultural values offensive?

What cultural values are we talking about?
Am I offended because they smell bad because in their culture bathing is only done once a week?
Am I offended because they're spouting that all of some sub group must die and they're showing me a bomb planning on doing something?


What I would do depends on more situational information than "one of you feels offended to some unknown degree for some reason."

It's not about keeping yours safe. It's about respecting others.

stay safe Larsson.
it feels good to see you roaming around in forums sharing your fair share of wisdom.
don't go to risky places man even if and when you're drunk

everything goes well in start because they respect your culture as a civil person
and later on, it becomes burden and intolerable over a certain period of time, right?
so yeah eventually they get frustrated of each other I guess leading them to unhappiness

lol I felt it so much related, I made a screenshot and sent it to a fellow lawyer
thanks for the wisdom

but you can't make it drink the water. that's absolutely right Sir

true that. things actually became difficult to impossible and eventually we had to end the contact. it was not a very good experience indeed.

uh well Sir I couldn't describe that much, because of rules and descriptions given for posting in forums. so I had to make it general.
you can be either of the situation party
either offender or offended.
btw that was sure a versatile speculated answer

what would you do Sir?
make your personality a mixture of cultures to please others? just asking
