Slyness:
Romanian people have a tendency to laud slyness, slyness either personally or for the amusement of others, the character of the typical Romanian is either too rude and needlessly aggressive or aggravatingly sly. An example would be: confusing a person purposefully, in front of a crowd, so to appear entertaining and get a better rapport with the masses, therefore climbing the social ladder.
Personal slyness is when people are dishonest, this is a completely contrary to what Europeans are supposed to be, in other words, this particular virtue is from, and for the nonwhite races. The best way to combat this disgusting character is to be BRUTALLY honest, to speak your mind completely, there is no shame in talking about your ideas, and it usually leads to discourse that expands your mental capacity and comprehension of the subject.
Anti-Homeschoolers:
An underlying obsession, prevalent in everyone, a close-mindedness that reveals that their whole
school education was fruitless, concerning the act of being able to learn for yourself and come to different conclusions than the ones that were injected into your burgeoning brain from an early age.
Because apparently, unless you were sent to a free public school and pumped with useless information, you aren't up to par when it comes to intelligence, doesn't matter that you can play 12 instruments. YOU STILL NEVER LEARNED ABOUT BAUXITE!
Degree Obsession:
Let me tell you a story, it's quite extreme:
A friend of my dad is a gypsie, so naturally, he has no education, not even what they call a baccalaureate (which is a sort of SAT in Europe), he then went to apply for a job that consists of just carrying heavy bags.. seriously. They didn't accept him because he had no education, and everyone knows that having a college degree is crucial to being able to carry bags. They even asked him if he had AT LEAST a baccalaureate! I think this is pretty radical, and it exposes the deeply rooted mindset that most people have here, if you don't have a degree, it'll lead to general discrimination against you, for the most stupid reason.
Anti-Primordial-Beast:
A lot of people in the middle class and higher, look down upon activities that boys and men need to participate in for optimal growth. An example would be lifting weights, my grandma and most people in general think of lifting weights as something brutish and lowly, she even once gave me an apropos, she made the claim that a personal trainer and avid gym goer (named Elvis) is stupid, she then proceeded to generalize that claim into a logical argument, namely that, going to the gym abates your intellectual advancement and thus should be avoided.
And as I stated before, there is nothing wrong with wanting to do beast and manly things, it's actually important to do physical activities, especially as a man. Going to the gym and exercising has actually been shown to increase your mental clarity and capacity for learning.
So keep following the way of the Romans: Mens sana in corpore sano!
