RE: Five Minute Freewrite Daily Prompt # 2776 "such a stereotype"

I can relate. I think it happens everywhere.
Here in Venezuela it's kind of the opposite. City people complain that country people are noisy and have a hard time adapting to city norms and urban rules. It is true for the most part. I think it comes down to upbringing.
I grew up in a small town with parents who hated noise and were very strict about respecting other people's spaces.
When I moved to cities, I never had a complaint from any neighbor, but I witnessed (and still do) plenty of incidentes caused by people's inability or unwillingness to adapt to other cultures.

A few days ago, I read a news about a Venezuelan woman in Chile who was killed by one of her neighbor because they got angry about her noisy Father's Day celebration.

Oh my! That does seem rather extreme! I, too, was raised to respect other people's spaces. We always lived in the country, where that should be easier to do.
