   @Yoshi Yep, even here in the #Philippines / #Pilipinas, you should follow your clan/familial traditions and whatever the eldest generation still living decides.

   Although, I think it's safe to say that sometime mid to late 90s, things started to change. For our own clans/families, those of us born from mid-70s onwards broke free from it. We did still obey the decisions of our grandparents on certain areas, but not for personal matters. And when their generations passed away (RIP), no one of us kept that tradition of group thinking alive. Especially now that our generation are in mid-life. Our parents who still think that way no longer say anything about it. :p

     @NPR Hate to say it but among older #Asians, #groupthink is the norm. No one is allowed or encouraged to think "outside the box" so #voting is futile. Among Japanese (and I suspect other Asian cultures) the party line is "shigata-ga nai" (can't be helped) or, colloquially, "shit happens." #Asians invented, "go along to get along." That's why I've never fit in with other Asians.
