Last Friday, I attended a Christian group activity. This is the first time for me to joy a Christian event. During the meeting, all of us read several sentences form the Bible and discuss about it. One sentence from those, mainly mentioned that people have to avoid to gossip. The sentence answered a question for me.
When I watch European and American film, I found that if a person has question with another, the person would discuss with the “another” directly. However, usually, in Asia, it may become a different story. The person at Asia will never ask directly. The one who has question always try to find the answer via ask the people around the particular person. I did not know how the differences between Europe and America, and Asia were made.
If use academic way to explain, the answer may be Europe and America have similar culture and Asia has different culture with them. All the differences were made by culture. On the other view, if the explanation could touch about why Europe and America have different culture with Asia and where the differences come form, the explanation may become more useful.
Buddhism, Muslim and Christ are three biggest religions at the world, the gods form those three religions did mention that gossip is the thing, which should not be done by people. Even though Buddhism and Muslim influenced Asian culture a lot, the people form Asia did not learn how to stop gossip from their religions as well as the European and American did.
Furthermore, compare to Buddhism and Muslim, Jesus Christ is the religion, which is most clearly taught to people what should be done and what should not be done. The religion may give a clear and strong signal to people that gossip is not a good thing.
All in all, compare to Asia, less gossip may be found from Europe and America because the different character of religions made different culture at different area.
