One of the major differences between different cultures

I have two friends who have to children. When the toddler-aged one does something bad, such as hitting someone, his father immediately rebukes him. "What have I said about hitting people?" and "What do you say?" He insists on his son saying sorry until he does it.

This is very common here and many other countries: Parents teach their children good manners and respect. When the child misbehaves, the parent scolds him and inculcated into him that it's bad. Especially if the child misbehaves in public where he shouldn't, the parents make sure to let him know and understand. It's part of the culture. Most of these children grow up to have good manners and respect for their fellow citizens and their property.

Then there are other cultures that are a bit different. Many people have seen them to ever increasing extents in these countries where strict parenting is the norm. I have seen it many, many times.

Not only are the kids of those parents unruly, not only do the misbehave in public, not only do they have no concern about behaving and respecting other people's property, but most importantly by far and large their parents don't care. They don't scold them, they don't teach them, they don't make them stop. Especially if it's something relatively minor, they just ignore it (even though a typical native parent would immediately intervene.)

It's no surprise because the parents themselves have been raised like this. In other words, pretty much completely neglected. They have never been taught respect for others or their property, they have never been taught good manners and good behavior.

Right now people are, once again, rioting in Paris. Vandalism, looting, destruction of property, harassment, arson... and the police are too few and too powerless to do anything to stop it.

And who do you think are, by far and large, the rioters?

It's funny that everybody knows it, and can see it, but nobody can say it out loud.
