I grew up in a rural household. We never once hired anyone to do any of the things you mentioned, by the way. We did them ourselves. The cultural difference is there, and your weak attempt to draw parallels is absurd.
- piyush_soni 13y agoHa. Yes, you didn't say any name at all. So what name would you ascribe to "if he is rich .... In his view, this is his, and he doesn't have to share it with the lesser people". 'Unkind' would be a good approximation? Or you'll find some euphemism? And your interpretation is that Indians feel less guilty about it as well. So sure, Americans do it, but feel more guilty. How sweet :). You might not have used these services. I was clearly talking about "yours" culture, which you are using to draw differences. But you'd be living in a cave if you don't think that most of the Americans who can afford use these services. But still, let's blame Indian culture without knowing much. Cultural differences are always there. The important thing, however, is to know where does it apply and where it doesn't. Edit: And why doesn't my example of the unkind Steve Jobs doesn't apply here - because you don't like it? Did he share anything of what he earned with the 'lesser people'? :) In fact, he shut down all the philanthropic activities that were going on in his company instead. So why shouldn't I, by that analogy, generalize that to be the "American culture"? I think my argument definitely applies here and there's certainly a similarity. You might not want to accept that, of course.
