    Keyword being HONOR.

    Do you believe in putting family honor, pride and tradition over your own self interests and goals? Sort of like how they do in Asian culture.

    Like 'you must get all A's or you shame our whole family'? Hell no. However I do believe there are times when family honor and tradition should be taken into consideration.

    I think people should put their own interests before family honor and tradition. I think people should do what they want and hell with everybody else (including family) if they don't like it. I think people need to live for themselves and no one else.

    I think that people should have self respect for their own interests, but also have respect for tradition.

    You mean a Bend It Like Beckham type situation? Being raised in the culture I was the answer is no. I'm glad that's one less thing I have to worry about.

    I think (in certain instances) it should be respected, but everyone was put on this planet to carve out their own niche in the world and to live their own life. That being said, I would reject any family expectations of you must do this or that with your life.

    Nope. Ritediva pretty much summed it up.

    Not really. I'll put the practical best interests of the family I have created first, but I don't believe in acting 'in line' with narrow family expectation. I wasn't put on this earth to exist solely as an extension of my family tree.

    No, not much. Here in the US we are not bound to retain family honor and culture if it doesn't work for us.

    My parents were Old World Europeans who loved America and fiercely defended it, but they also tried to raise me by how things were done "there", and I resented it.
