Respect

When you go to Asia or Africa you will notice that people are always respectfull and often shy to western people, often western people think they are submissive. And treat people that way also as being submissive. It has to do with the wrong idea of lots of people from the westen world that coming from the rich western world also means that you are more civilized. Its a complete misunderstanding.
My experience is that people from asia and africa mostly are more civilized than western people. dont mix the words submissive and respectfull
