The characteristic of the people in your society:
My country, Iran or as its old name ``Persia``, is well-know for its old, oriental over than 5000 years culture and history.
Obviously, in a country as old as mine, there is so money tribes and minorities live; therefore, there is so much influence on language, culture, and people’s characters.
The history of my country goes back to 6000 years before B.C, which that time few tribes from Southern part of Siberia moved down and beside Caspian-sea found a better place to live in. Some others pretty soon moved to the Southern and Eastern part of Persian land and were physically strong and good worriers, so eventually they built a strong and successful kingdom in Persia.
Iran, during centuries has always been under attack of its neighbors, such as Turks, Arabs and even Mongols tribes, partly by the end of 19th century and beginning 20th century from South part of Soviet Union worries were triggered and ambushed down to the frontier of Iran and conquers majority part of Caspian Sea on the North. All these tribes have made a great contribution on culture, and language and made other influences.
Besides all these wars, which if had happened in any countries would have effected on economy and culture and language deeply; we do have a lot of minorities such as: Kurdish, Turkish and Lori’s people who live vastly in all part of Iran and have their own rituals, ethics, and cultural/characteristic heritage.
Iranian race as known as Aryan race, who they do have Parsi as an official language, are people of wisdom and intelligent and hyper in emotions and feelings, which some called them, warm-hearted and extremely hospitable.
Culturally and naturally having a rich background, but as a matter of fact, politically and financially in every half century have had instability and crisis with different reasons.
Contrary to European or American the amount workload is less and people are not appreciating too much work. Moreover, a lot of people still live in big families and so many cases have been seen to send the elderly to nursing home, but still children care for parents. Marriages happen as Children wish, but still influence of parents’ advice and relatives has a great role.
To conclude is not so hard to distinguish a pure Aryan race with other ethnic groups, as they do have their own rituals and ceremonies and even their own language in the same country. Hospitality and warm social manners and intelligence are the most distinguish things to point out about Iranian or Persian.

The teachers or schools have affected on you:
In this generation, children from an early age are accustomed to be at per-school and then follow up school. So; schooling is a very sensitive job and great responsibility towards new generation. It was not used to be even 50 years ago, when kids wanted and could stay at home up to age seven.
A lot of psychologists and counselors are strongly in this believe that from earlier age, such as 4 or 5 year old, kids need to be in social contact, being with other kids and feel atmosphere more than home, in order to become strong and build their personalities; which shows how much the responsibility of teachers, day cares and even baby sitters important are.
In fact, after mothers, who always have had the first and a great role teaching and raising up the children; teachers are the second ones, even though in older ages could be the first person to refer to.
Some people would not understand the difference between a good teacher and just a person who gives some lessons to the students.
My point is, there is a big difference and a great importance of being just a teacher and academically be professional or being literally a caring-teacher. With do all respect, in some stages of life, such as primary ages, kids specifically do need a caring teacher with great personality, strong character, patient and emotionally supportive.
We do see in a such a sensitive age as teenage hood, there are always problems and if they do have a persons who can talk to with no hesitation and consult or even the time that there is no problem receive and follow behavior ,ideas of somebody as a teacher can make a great difference in their future life.
If we interview and ask a lot of successful and happy people in societies, they always say and have good memories from school time and at least from one or two teachers they have had, so far.

A person’s life can change overnight:
A lot of people may not believe in destiny or fate at all.
In a place I used to work till a month ago; at university in China, this topic was brought up a couple of times, as a general topic to break the ice in some conversation classes.
My students’ majorities were about 24-25 years old, but compare to western students, having had less life experiences. Anyhow, some of them who were more comfortable tot talk about their personal lives use to say in China we believe in so many rituals and a lot of older generations are strongly superstitious.
Some other would say, life is not that easy to get change easily. They said, they spent their childhood in a boring dull countryside, routine study life and did their best to get into university and now here they are. Even so, some wanted to think about further possibilities in their lives, but mostly would come up that’s the life no further hopes or even thought.
Some used to confess they must work hard to get a job and save money and hardly any unexpected events might turn over their lives in other direction.
Personally, that’s a reality of so many lives, but there is a tiny-tiny possibilities which a lot of people pass and don’t see through it very well.
When I look back and see my life, which was in Iran similar to Chinese life style in some points, even though I grew up in a very relaxed and high class family, but it did happen to me.
Around 15 years ago, I have got my first computer, in order to work on art and just liked it. In few years afterward, I connected to internet and it just happened once after deceiving an advice from an online friend how to find a way to look for some relevant sites in order to apply for a job in China.
Anyhow, it stretched for over years of my life working there and so much ups and downs and adventures and trips and my life totally changed, ended up meeting my husband from other side of the world, my career has changed, as well.
