- rayiner 6y agoI’m familiar with the personality type but I’m thinking about something even more basic. Bangladesh is a more hierarchical society, and much more focused on academic accomplishment. By contrast in America, nobody talks about whether someone “is from a good family” and glorifies college dropouts.
