Kultur Sieben

It is quite ironic that Germans who are very obedient to rules would turn back into Bavarians when it comes to lines. We have learned that even punks will dare not to cross a street when it's red light, yet all Germans, especially the elderly, turn crazy when there's no specific law regarding some certain circumstances. I think the perfect way to make every German into a model citizen is to set a civil law regarding everything and teach basic etiquette (i.e. forming lines). Also, I was very surprised that the elderly always seemed to be the rude ones. Even from the previous Kultur texts, the old grannies always seemed to have a cane or whatever they have as old people and seemed to beat young people with it. I don't know why old people think that they have the right to do this. When I lived in Korea, where everything is extremely conservative and respectable to the elderly due to confucianism, I haven't really seen  any old people being rude and abusing the social standards. Actually, I have seen them being rude, but they were drunk when this happened, so it's understandable since almost everyone's rude when they get drunk. Bis Morgen
