I find cultures in more developed nations (for lack of a better word) are more materialistic and in turn more individualistic. Cultures in less developed nations (again for a lack of a better word) are more focused on people and helping each other out as opposed to things. <br /><br />That's been my experience out of all the places I have lived and traveled to :)<br /><br />But all hope for the developed nations is not gone because It Matters Monday will spread all over the world hehehe. <br /><br />Great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034382984831292004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202991867091260583.post-46475688340138442232011-04-13T10:40:56.292-05:002011-04-13T10:40:56.292-05:00The mind boggles!
