I recently read a heated debate on a popular dating site regarding the case of US women and International women such as Chinese women. Although the subject matter was different than the one described here, a post by a man who was married to a Chinese woman sparked this debate.

His post was aimed at the problems and complaints that men and women have over each other in US was a product of the Western world and the feminist movement and these problems were not typical of women from the Far East. He had many supporters from other men who had married women outside of US but was strongly attacked by some women who grew up here in the US.

I believe that culture and society that we live in affects us in many ways internally and some of us are completely unaware of how it can affect our mood, thought and even personality. We may even lose a sense of individualism as a result and expect to do things that is considered normal by society. At the end of the day we should go back  and reflect on our core values that make us who we are are and make sure that is always in tact. These core values include integrity, honesty, helping others as well as yourself and also not pushing yourself ahead at the expense of others.

What do you think?

do all women have same core values or does society and culture have a big influence?
