Closed cliché cultures vs. open social cultures: where do you fit in?
America is essentially a corporate culture in almost every aspect of life. As such, social interaction is confined within closed cliques, usually established early in life in the high school and college years. Communication with strangers is usually for business purposes only (eg customer service, business transactions, sales, etc.).
So, if you don’t have an established friend group, or you’re new to the area, you’re basically out of luck socially for who knows how long (unless, of course, you’re super hot, involved in the entertainment industry, or allies). with the rich and successful).
The social nature of such countries is very conservative (despite the media image of the United States as a wild, free, open, and outgoing culture). People live in structured routines, be it social or professional, and life is more business than passion. Everything is highly compartmentalized into a proper time and place.
But passion is what really opens people up to connect with others, including strangers. Companies do not, and instead treat the communication as purely for business purposes. American culture is the latter, of course.
Furthermore, these socially closed, workaholic countries are segregated, driven by the fear and paranoia of their media and social consensus. People are conditioned to fear every stranger as a potential psychopath or murderer, despite the reality of how safe their surroundings really are, and they feed the daily news that reinforces that myth. It is a form of social mind control to keep the population weak, subservient, working and consuming.
And of course, since most people are natural followers, rather than free thinkers or leaders, they’ll adjust to that, as they assume authority and consensus = truth, rather than truth itself.
In fact, the corporate elite has a vested interest in limiting your social relationships, family life, and creativity or passions, because if you have too many friends, good social relationships, and/or spend too much time pursuing your passions and creative pursuits, then you will have less time to spend. industrious work and productivity, which the United States sees as its life’s purpose. You see, your life is a commercial resource for America, a commodity, measured in terms of productivity, not passion. Therefore, communication and relationships between strangers are generally limited to business purposes.
America’s goal is for you to remain a productive, efficient “happy slave.” To do that, you must keep the illusion of freedom in your mind. But he definitely does NOT want to encourage you to pursue things like passion, creativity, or deep human ties and relationships. No way. Such things are counterproductive to his goal of keeping you a “happy slave” whose life is “all business.” That is why the United States teaches a system where such things are highly compartmentalized, limited, or suppressed. For America, the economy is number one, NOT its soul!
So what can you do about it? Well, you can expose it and raise awareness about it, like I’m doing here. And you can say to yourself every day “I am a human being! Not a commercial resource!” But most importantly, you place yourself among groups, movements, or cultures that lead to a life of freedom, passion, and rich human connections and relationships. There are alternative, counterculture, and hippie-type movements in the US, for example, that support a life free from the “establishment” where you can meet other like-minded people.
Or you can go to foreign cultures where passion and camaraderie are still considered the center of life, instead of cold business and closed camaraderie. (I’ll provide a few examples below) There are many cultures abroad that are much more open, relaxed, and inclusive, where people aren’t segregated by “ice barriers” or paranoia. I have experienced many of them and can attest that they are a world of difference. But the American media doesn’t want you to know about them, of course, so you won’t hear about it on the mainstream channels. For many, this has been a happy and permanent solution to America’s misery, stress, and loneliness.
But you’d better hurry, because America is in a hurry to try to turn “passion cultures” into cold, commercial cultures like her! So you’d better pray that he fails in his attempt to “globalize” the world into a carbon copy of himself.
Here are examples of cultures where passion, creativity, expression, and human camaraderie are at the center of life and enjoyed to the fullest, where people are more socially open and less exclusive:
– Latin America, Mexico, Russia, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Holland, Mexico, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, etc.
Now here are examples of cultures where people are less socially open and more exclusive, where business is the goal of life and workaholic lifestyles are idolized, where passion, creativity and social life are suppress or restrict:
– United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Finland, Norway, etc.
Of course, other cultures fall somewhere between these two categories.
But keep in mind that people fit differently into each culture and have different experiences that will vary. There is no “one culture for all”.
The important thing is that you choose a culture or an atmosphere where your INSIDE matches your OUTSIDE environment. In other words, if you are shy, conservative, socially closed, or extroverted, as well as a workaholic, you will thrive in cultures that reflect those qualities (eg, Japan, Taiwan). But if you are open, passionate, sociable, laid-back, and easygoing, you’ll fit better in cultures dominated by such traits (eg, Latin America, parts of Europe). Otherwise, a mismatch between your inner self and the outer environment is not a good thing. It will weaken you in the long run and not allow your natural self to come out or get the best of you.
