No. Unlike you, what I wrote was correct.

For your factual claim.

🤔

Which elements do you manage to avoid from the infographic in the OP?

It's quite possible. Do you really think you would know what's it's like to be a disabled person or a victim of abuse in Thailand? You think any sort of discrimination or abuse would be plainly evident for you personally to see, or do you think it would be kept out of view?

It doesn't really matter if they blow most of the windfall celebrating their windfall. It's their money, after all. But it would be a little ironic.

He probably meant: "Don't forget, Americans can't spell."

The person who is asking for help learning English writes poorly in English? Go figure... 🙄

Source?

Strange how it seems to be parents abusing the girls but boys abusing the parents... 🤔

Ah, correct. You jumped in with the "I don't care about...". Kind of odd, as it gives the impression that you are the one who asked the original question. Hence the confusion. 🤷‍♂️

He might very well decide that one granny is as good as any other. It could be a long trip to the hospital.

You asked about why Thai people buy expensive cars that can cost more than their houses, he explained, then I tried to help you to understand that response. I'm not sure what the problem is.

How much of their windfall will be left?

Actually better than I thought, from the headline...

It used to be that the thought of being recorded meant that people would avoid doing bad things. Now it seems that often people feel emboldened by the idea of making "content".

Yes, I think a lot of car/vehicle culture in Thailand/SEA is very close to what we associate with teens back home.

He just explained this. They get face from having a nice car as many people see it. Hardly anyone sees your home, so it doesn't gain you as much face. Thais are a lot more concerned about what other people think of them than how they actually live.

Not really. It might have been around longer or appeared in more places because of this, but when someone sees Western culture and wants to live in that way, there is no coercion involved, they simply like that culture.

Just the normal definition is fine.

No. 1, American culture is Western culture. 2, American culture isn't specifically dominant.

It doesn't. People want to follow Western culture. It doesn't need to be forced on anyone. In fact, in many cases, non-Western governments have to fight their own people in order to prevent them from embracing and living a Western cultural lifestyle.

Who's talking about American culture? Maybe re-read the thread. They're universal, but they are still largely based on Western culture. You can't just say, "Oh, they might have come from Western culture, but everyone has them now, so they aren't Western culture anymore". What you're basically picking up on, is the fact that Western culture is so dominant, that people don't even realise it's Western culture. It still is, though.

WWII involved a lot of White countries. Also, American culture isn't as dominant as Western culture.

I think he forgets that we're not actually talking about the physical toughness of a culture. One culture doesn't beat up another culture to become dominant.
