Culture - Respect 

Would you show respect or bring such a mean attitude to someone that drinks alcohol and smokes, or having a traditional feast going on? In these cultures, you might venture to someone's house and find that they are smoking or drinking alcohol. It's not your problem to go to there house and mock them about it, because it's their life, don't like it get out or getting sick off it handle it. You just need to show respect for them. Like other cultures have a different well being than smoking and drinking.

Some other cultures don’t smoke or drink maybe because they quit smoking and moved on, sometimes other cultures will drink kava instead of drinking alcohol and smoking. These are other cultures that might be different from each other. Maybe some other cultures are just normal and has some other traditional things going on. For example India has Diwali, Tonga has kai bola/big feast, and some other cultures have different traditions or special things with their cultures. 

Other cultures might do nothing it’s not us telling them what to do. We must show respect to them. Other cultures might do nothing but maybe just have a feast with family and friends instead of doing traditional things. For those people that don’t do anything special about their culture, it's not our problem to be noisy about it. Because that’s not showing respect and empathy to those people who showed you respect. Some other cultures don’t celebrate or do something special.

Like my family we dislike celebrating very big events, but we enjoy having feasts and inviting friends and family over. But our family is all about showing respect and being what we are. Sometimes we might not agree with each other, but in reality we do stick up for each other and we respect each other.
