Cultural issues are more widespread than most people realise. Its not 
just different countries, its different generations within the same

cultures taboos are often never explained, thus never corrected, so 
they may be repeated in other encounters.

Criticism is good but it has to be properly phrased and well thought 
out. Its usually described as positive criticism. So please keep it up.
