- lucideer 6y agoThese cultural norms might be less widespread in Italy, Greece, Spain, but I would say they're closer to being norms in those countries than outside of Europe. Especially with younger parents. They're certainly norms in most of the non-anglophone EU. That said, I guess a lot of that could potentially be connected to outsized anglophone/US influence in developed countries.
- phabora 6y agoDo you have a lot of experience with multiple EU countries?[1] Or are you just using “outsized influence” to extrapolate that non-English speaking countries can be neatly categorized as being a homogeneous contrast to English-speaking countries? [1] The only anglophone EU country is Ireland.
