I live in Africa. Witchdoctors (sangomas) pay well for little girls who are blonde and blue-eyed, because they can use her liver, heart etc for making medicines that are stronger becuse those girls have more magic.

We are told we must respect the cultures of other people, so I guess it is not so terrible, as long as we try to see it from their point of view. Of course, seeing life from our point of view is not necessary from their side.

The genrations (as media refer to them, are)

Baby Boomers: Born, I think, from 1950 and later - their children are the
Millenials: (the less said about them, the better) but the next gen is
Generation X: your generation. They have rebelled against the previous generation and are not dedicated to 'instant gratification'. They are willing to study and work, and they are willing to debate with people who do not have exactly the same beliefs as they do.

Sort:  

Ah okay now understand why your niece isn't allowed to play in the garden. But still it is kind of sad why not both sides could respect each others cultures.
Thanks a lot for informing me about these terms. I guess I will look into that a little bit more by myself, these words are not so often used or explained in Germany.:)
