Wehhhhhhhhhl…more than the other Friday offerings, at least……

Just a theory but let me explained.

Germany is a divide between Catholic and Lutheranism, so their nation is in a schism. It swings from one extreme to the other political. It is also where the 30 years war was fought (most bloodiest war in Europe until WW1). So this I think affects Germans, making them more radical and extreme in their beliefs (whatever the beliefs is). Child rising is very much about following the rules and the rulers. It is where the modern day schooling system comes from.

Poland, Hungry, Italy, Spain, Portugal and some of France (though it is the most anti religious of Europe and I will get back to it) are Catholic. The Family structure is different than northern Europe where extended families play a bigger role. The saying blood is thicker than water, well that holds every true in Southern Europe. Most southern Europe don’t take the government rules seriously and so rarely follows them or pay taxes. Corruption is high in some areas. The way religion is treated is very ritual, (dressing nice for church but only going occasionally and sometime only because a family event is on) . The past invasions and raids of the Muslims is part of the reason why the south follows traditions and family since this is what helped them survive.

Poland, Hungry and Ireland (though lesser these days) on the other hand tie the religion to their independences and it is more recent. So they take it more serious and support it through government policies and cultural. Also church attendants is higher.

France is the most anti religious. Tie to the France revolutions, Liberalism and Democracy. They are proud of their past but only of that in the 18th and 19th century. So they blind themselves to ideologues and achievements that are frankly dead. Liberalism is going to be replace in the next decades by both religious and nationalist people.

Anglicanism was foundered by a King who wanted to divorce his wife. So the Church was not created from some differences of belief or doctrine for example Lutheranism. It was to allow a king to break the comments of Jesus on Divorce (Matthew 19:1-11).
So England and the Britain I think are affect by this. They change what is consider moral over time more quickly than most of Europe, mainly what the leadership class is doing. Yes Class and power is very important in England. With the Middle Class trying to show they are more moral. So if the morals of the times are Victorian than the Middle class will show they are more moral, if on the other hand it is about say LGBT rights than they will show their morality on this.

Another noticeable different is how Children are brought up. In the high middle and upper classes kids as young as 1 year are force to follow the rules and disciplined. Behavior, Manners and Image very important, this is one of the differences between Catholic countries where it is more about traditions and it is easy to confuse the two as the same. The royal weddings for example though it is traditional the important thing for the Royals is Image and Manners.

The family is also very nuclear and only really during holidays do they get to together. At 18 many are either told to leave or pay rent. The relationships with the parents very different to most of Europe though similar to the Scandinavian countries.

Though I could go on but I don’t have much time and little knowledge on Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine, etc) and Scandinavian ones. Also I felt the need to leave to Europe not expand it to the US. Also I could be reading some of these things wrong.

I would have loved to see more pictures in dresses. That one pic seemed to be a “moment”.
