Speaking of that, do you know any good youtube videos that do an overview of cultural differences, or maybe a playlist from a course that looks into this kind of stuff? The differences between customs of different cultures, especially things that are “taboo” in one culture but completely ok in another really interest me.
I can’t think of anything off hand. I know there was a tv show called “Taboo” years ago that was supposedly about cultural taboos, but I think it was probably pretty exploitative. As far as I know the word “Taboo” is based on a Polynesian word pronounced more like “tapu” that represents various restrictions that people have to observe to protect their spiritual or esoteric power.
