It's that really true? It doesn't ring true to my experience (which, in general terms, is born in the late 70s in Australia)
- badrabbit 9y agoSorry,should have said "most cultures that I have been exposed to." I was only speaking from the few cultures I have observed. Although in some cultures I have seen,academic success and getting certain types of jobs is heavily encouraged by most parents and communities. I have also seen at least some US cultures that encourage extreme athleticism (sports scholarships and all)
