    1. If children call the police, the police comes, and punishes abusive parents. The children are transferred to loving shelters. From their, they are given to suitable and loving families. Children get their revenge on their parents.

    2. Job for every person is guaranteed. If people get job on their own, and somehow lose the job, the government pays them guaranteed financial compensations. There are additional social security benefits/welfare (e.g., for people without children, elderly people, diseased people, etc).

    3. Every type of medical treatment is free — even the most complex surgeries are free of cost. The government pays for all medical expenses caused by the public.

    4. There is no passive domestic slavery (i.e., paid housemaids that are found in Asia & Africa). Machines, like dish-washers, washing machines etc, do all the manual work that housemaids usually do.

    5. Everything is very clean: the houses, buildings, aeroplanes, cruise ships, offices, bridges etc. Even people's private parts are very clean. Privacy is offered everywhere. If you board a train (e.g. Amtrak, VIA rail etc), you will get your own private room ~ unlike Asia & Africa where large number of passengers have no other option but to spend a very long time inside a small cabin where they are totally exposed and have no privacy.

    6. Every used product is recycled, and is used again, infinite number of times. Landfills are used in a very wise way. Waste disposal mechanisms are high-tech.

    7. Atheism is loved and highly appreciated. Existence of dominant atheistic movements, like Marxism. People are aware of what "lgbt" relationships are. Lgbt relationships are legally allowed and encouraged. Women find it comfortable to wear bikini in beaches, there is no taboo related to dresses like bikini. Women are free to wear bikini inside some cities (e.g. Las Vegas).

    8. The West has created companies and organizations that dominate the entire world. The list is very very long, here are some notable examples: NATO, United Nations, Boeing, Airbus, NASA, World Bank etc.

    9. If you do not want to live anymore, you can escape the prison of life by legally enacted methods of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. In Asia and Africa, if you do not want to live anymore, people and the government will not let you to escape. You will be forced to live, even if you do not want to.

    10. These are only some points that I mentioned. The differences between Western life and Asian and African life jointly, are so much, that I need to write multiple series of books about this topic, and even then I would not be able to exhaust it.

      How can Asia and West be the same when siblings from the same parents are so dissimilar in personality?

      1) How can you ensure that all of those children are cared for in a loving shelter? I personally know a family in which two of their five children were taken away. One of the two was transferred to a different family twice. Childhood can be ruined in some cases, isn't it? As the old saying goes All that glitter is not gold.

      Revenge is not peace.It can never be. No one can love you more/better than your own parents. But, yes, some lucky ones do get loving shelters.

      2) Not all western countries but some do. Like In most European countries many employees have indefinite contracts which, whilst not guaranteeing a job for life, make it very difficult for the employer to terminate a contract. Employees who have legally acquired these rights, for example because they have been with a company for two years continuously, can only be dismissed for disciplinary reasons (after a number of formal warnings and subject to independent appeal) or in the case of a company undergoing restructuring (subject to generous laws on redundancy payments and often with retraining paid for by the company). In Spain, for example, such employees are entitled to 45 days redundancy pay per year worked. The high cost of redundancy payments is in practice what gives employees job security.

      The proportion of the workforce on indefinite contracts has fallen across Europe in response to increased competition and globalization. Companies may dismiss an employee just before they reach the two-year mark and then re-hire them as a new employee. There are always tricks. Not everything is as simple and easy as predicted.

      Let's take a look at China now. In China, the job is often chosen for you — and not because someone is trying to do you a favor. Instead, the reason is that there are so many jobs in China that you are guaranteed to find something you're qualified to do. (Isn't china an Asian country? And one of the most largest one as India) the problem with many Eastern countries is their population. Isn't it? There is corruption. It is less in West. Many of the eastern countries are not fully developed. It takes time for a fruit to ripen. If the current generation works really hard, future generations will see something spectacular.

      3) In the West, not all types of medical treatment are free of cost. For example, I had a problem with my wisdom tooth and had it extracted, it was free. But when I had a cavity in my tooth and had filling, they didn't do it for free. Many dental treatments are not free, not even insurance companies support such dental treatments. Many surgeries, including spinal surgeries, are not free. At least not in Spain.

      4) Maids can be hired to do housework in Europe, but they are well-respected. In Asian countries, there are all of these machines, such as dishwashers and washing machines. Taking Pakistan as an example, we are such a potato couch that we don't like to do things on our own, whereas in Europe we do. Labor is expensive in Europe comparing to Asian countries . In China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia etc. people do all these home related works on their own. They all come under Asia. Many Asian countries are lazy but not all of them.

      It is developing, it is developing well and it will take time to develop properly and completely.

      https://factsking.com/country-rankings/ … s-in-asia/

      There are total 48 Asian countries. Top 10 cleanest countries in Asia are as following: Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, south Korea, Kuwait, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, UAE

      Here is a list of Top 100 cleanest countries. It involves many Asian Countries: ➜ https://naijaquest.com/cleanest-countries-in-the-world/

      6) Many Asian countries do recycling, and yes, infinite number of times.

      7) Top 10 Countries with the Highest Number of Atheists and Agnostics - Cambridge University Press (2004 data):
      China - 103,907,840 — 181,838,720
      India - 102,870,000
      Japan - 81,493,120 — 82,766,450
      Vietnam - 66,978,900
      Russia - 34,507,680 — 69,015,360
      Germany - 33,794,250 — 40,388,250
      France - 25,982,320 — 32,628,960
      United Kingdom - 18,684,010 — 26,519,240
      South Korea - 14,579,400 — 25,270,960
      Ukraine - 9,546,400

      The list does include Asian countries.

      I do have atheist friends. One of them is a very nice human being. An enthusiast actually. I believe, anyone can have any religion. It's important to be a human first.

      I personally don't hate anyone for their belief. Everyone is free to choose their own religion. Even if they don't follow any they should follow Humanity it comes above all.

      Culture has a significant impact on one's dress code. Only royal people were able to wear good clothes in ancient times when there were no to less clothes. Were people more civilized back then, or are they more so now?

      People learn how to make and wear clothes and cover themselves with time. I believe, they are not evolving but reverting now. big_smile

      8) I agree with number 8

      9) you cannot escape the prison of life in each and every country in West by legally enacted methods of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Suicidal thoughts are always present in the mind of a coward. No matter how difficult life is, brave people live it while staring it in the eyes. If you love yourself, and your family, even if the pain of life is difficult to bear, you will live it and make the most of it. I have had many suicidal thoughts in my life, but I believe that escaping is a sign of cowardice. Even though the criticism is returning to me, life is a blessing. It should not be thrown away.

      10) To sum it up, there are many good things in the East and many good things in the West. How can they be alike if no two are alike? We should always make an effort to learn from one another. Even if it's just to learn how to cook yourself big_smile

      Stay Well and Blessed! smile
