Hi.
A friend of mine who lives in the USA, said he likes it when people combine their cultural clothing with Western/American clothing.
I see in my country some women wear the hijab with jackets and pants instead of an abaya, sometimes with sunglasses. some niqabi women also wear sneakers and jackets like leather jackets over their niqab.
Also many men wear qamis (the male equivalent of dress) with necklaces, sunglasses, western hairstyles, backward hat, watches and with jackets in cold weather.
Do you like it when immigrants combine their cultural clothing with Western clothing? do you think they should keep their authentic cultural clothing as it is to preserve their culture? do they assimilate better in the USA?
Hi.
In my country, usually people (both men and women) address strangers as “brother” when speaking to men, and “sister” when speaking to women, as a sign of respect. They may also call old strangers “mother” and “father”, most women in my country feel uncomfortable talking to male strangers, which is why they usually call male strangers “brother.”
Some people especially men also say “baba” (father), to male strangers even if they are younger than them, as a term of endearment similar to the Latino affectionate term “papi.”
Sometimes cashiers, vendors address me as baba (father) although they they know I am young and younger than them they don't mean it in the literal sense, it is just a term of endearment.
How about the USA?
Is it common for family relationships in the US to weaken after graduating, moving out and renting an apartment?
