In my life, I have found that experience is worth more than any other commodity that one can possess. I have been all over the world and have enjoyed many many cultures. I have found that people are basically the same no matter their age, race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, language or anything that we define as differences. We all suffer the same problems, although we try to solve those problems differently.
Age and experience, in my opinion, are the biggest things that define a person. As people age, and have more and different experiences, their outlook changes. Some call it refined.
Also, I have observed that every society actually is much like any other culture. Take a muslim ruled nation. There are gays, atheist, in about the same percentages even though they are mostly underground.
