| A quick addendum; I've oft heard Australia described as "The World's Suburb." I thought that was pretty accurate. |
| Why i shouldn't? Surely is better than others... |

| I''m not sure if this is about modern culture or something else. Anyways, as far as "real culture" goes, my country's got really nice architecture, we were pretty big in classical music (Liszt, Bartok, Kodaly) and our classic literature is certainly above average. Our cuisine is definitely one of the best in the world and we are very proud of our alcohol. There are less good aspects of our culture as well, such as the infamous "we are all alone" mentality. A deep, permeating consciousness is another integral element of national identity. It can be summarized as "we are all alone" and is based on historical reasons and the "otherness" of the language and the origins of Hungarians. While the consciousness of "we are all alone" was dormant during the socialist period (1948–1989), it still remained a recognizable and crucial part of the national identity. I also like how my country was always a multi-ethnic region in one way or another. We have several great Hungarian heroes who had Croatian, Serbian or even Romanian parents/ancestors (Family names that refer to ethnic groups are very common). I don't like our modern culture at all. Too much of this "we must be like America" mentality and liking your own culture is shameful. The people are unfriendly and the media is shit. The TV shows are absolutely terrible, our music is crap, and the online news are all biased towards one political spectrum. |

"Cultural syncretism is when an aspect of two or more distinct cultures blend together to create a new custom, idea, practice, or philosophy." " Cultural syncretism can occur for many reasons, from immigration to military conquest to the marriages between groups, and results in a culture finding ways to blend new customs into their own."

| Not too fond of it, to be honest... |

| I hate Israel's culture. It's all super models and programmers. The idea is, if you're not one of these you're worthless. There's barely any room for culture. |

| Not in the slightest. It's too much inspired by Hinduism and the archaic traditions of the Aryans. |

| I think Norway has a rich and charming culture, so yes, I do like it. |
| I guess nowadays' fancy is to either stating you dislike or hate your own culture... To state you're proud of it would seem to automatically lead you to being a paria in the eyes of others. Is it a shame or something to be proud of a country's culture? |

| Why did you delete your Jew comment? I mean, sure, their religion sucks, but they're hardly a problem. They don't even want people to convert. |

| I love my country's culture, we have one of the most rich and varied cultures in the world. The only thing I don't like about it is bullfighting and that kind of stuff. |

They're a problem, but I'm not sure how much they're a presence in Israeli culture. Israeli culture is dominated by supermodels and programmers. It's a narrow minded view of things. I hate this place. |

| American culture is difficult to talk about because the really apparent cultural aspects are usually limited to specific states. |
| Yup. India's culture , traditions and everything else is nice. But overpopulation is the main cause of many problems. you should visit India. |

| I very much do. The U.S. is a very diverse place. |

Kokuoh said: Honestly, I think the Holy Week isn't that bad. I'm not a religious person but I don't dislike it either, everyone is free to do what they want and it's a harmless tradition. We've been a very religious country for centuries after all.Spaniard here. I have mixed feelings for my country's culture. I strongly dislike some traditions like bullfighting or the Holy Week, but I love other things like the cuisine or the nice weather and the amount of hours of sunshine (specially in Andalusia, where I live). I agree with everything else though, and Andalusia is really beautiful. I'm andalusian too so I can confirm :P |
| I don't think my country even has a culture. They seem to cling on to and praise old traditions and customs but at the same time, they roll over everything they just said with a bulldozer to make way for new. I don't get it. It seems so superficial to me. They also seem to like to socially treat the middle class and lower class like garbage, like "if you're poor then you have no value" etc. Actually, I think my whole country is shit as a whole, tbh. |
| 死ねカス国に帰れ |
| No, America's modern culture is utter garbage. |
| I like some general stuff, like taking shoes off when entering the house/school.. or saying something like "enjoy your food" before eating. small things. other than that it's utter shit. mentality - steal everything you can and never help anyone. my country is the pain in the neck of the EU, very shameful. |
| (USA) I like it, not too bad. Politics get in the way sometimes but theres plenty of things to do state by state and I do enjoy alot of the entertainment that came from it.

| Damn straight! Our culture (like it or not) is popular all over the world. We make the best movies, TV shows, porn....we're the kings of entertainment. We have the best basketball, baseball, and hockey leagues in the world and generally no other country can match our love for sports. And say what you want about America, but this is still a great place to come and visit....from NYC to Cali...we've got it all! |
| Why not? My culture is absolutely colorful and various |
