RE: Values are relative-Clash of civilizations

in #life6 years ago

Yes, this could go on for infinity and in fact, it does go on since written history, I guess.

To make myself transparent: I am all for consensus and for speaking without hurting. I am a woman, I am raised as a Christian. Became for a while an atheist, made myself on the search what else is out there. I study Buddhism now for quite a while. I have some questions which I would like you to answer.

My first one is how death is handled where you live. Do you practice your traditions? In which exact way? Do people at your place mostly die in hospitals or at home?

How does your culture handle birth? Do women give birth in hospitals, in special birth houses or at home, mostly?

As I find it very rare to speak to people from a foreign background I really would appreciate your infos. I am deeply interested in what you have to say.

... The differences between men and women I see and from what I find both are having their skills and abilities to contribute to the many. If one of the sexes lacks their freedom of expression, action, contribution this often means suffering for the many, as well.

Thank you.

I am a Muslim and we bury our death after special prayer ceremonies. We practice a lot of traditions which I can summarize in a single post. I have already written an article in which I have summarised some of our traditions.

Thanks. Where can I find it? Can you give me a link? Does it answer the questions I have? Please, if you don't want to respond to me, just say it. I have sincere intentions though.

It is my pleasure to tell you about my culture, mam. Let me summarize my answers.

  1. The first thing you asked is how death is handled where we live? The answer is the dead body is brought home and kept there for 5-6 hours for the closed ones to see him/her for the last time. The dead boy is then washed and sprayed with perfumes and taken to a prayer hall where prayers are offered and the body is buried afterwards.
  2. The women are mostly taken to hospitals before birth so that are no complications when they are giving birth to kids. The females doctors present there handle the process.
    The below of one of my article will also provide you a lot of insight into our culture and traditions.

Thank you very much. I'll read it and will take some time to it.

Sure, mam. Thanks for being on my blog. Always my pleasure.
