I can think of a few things that I would like the British culture to adopt from others.

- The respect for elders and old relatives that I've seen in the Indian culture. Lots of people over here don't look after their old relatives and dump them into old people's homes. I've also seen many people be rude and commit crimes against the elderly.

- The Buddhist respect for all living things. We in the west have caused multiple extinctions, kill things for fun and people for little provocation. We intruduce or breed species to combat other ones without understanding the ramifications of those actions.

- The Islamic devotion to charity, which is prescribed within their religion and followed by nearly every Muslim I've met. I do think the British give a hell of a lot to charities, but many other nations and cultures do not.

- The gratefulness for small pleasures and things that Africans show. We in the UK do seem to over value our material possessions. We covet the possessions of others and - sometimes - are jealous rather than envious. Look up the difference. Sometimes people wish that the other person did not have something, rather than wishing they both had it.

- The ability of North Americans to be cheerful. I've found they have a bit of a 'live and let live' mentality, whereas we Brits do like to tell other people what to do, and we moralise too much to others. We are rather cynical about things, politics being a good example. People seem not to like the new American President, but al least the Americans are more engaged in their politics than we are.

I'm sure there are many other examples that I don't know of, and I think the British culture is the best I have seen (that's why I choose to live here), so I'm not slagging off the Brits either . ..... but we are all sometimes quick to point out and attack the flaws of others without being self aware enough to take a long look at ourselves.
