I don't know how to say it but Malaysia is an unique country, it's like hanging in the middle of no where. Choices for kids weren't much to begin with before internet. Back then learning music is an expensive thing to do, kids nowadays learn it mostly because their parents couldn't afford to learn back then, or have a elitism mind set, kids get pushed into doing stuff they might or might not like. They may have liked it one day if they weren't pushed. So many kids just busy doing stuffs their parents wants them to.

I don't know about you people but when i see small kids in shopping mall, i hardly see the kid in them. If you compare in other countries kids over there are much more lively. Let kids be free then we can talk about creativity.

This is inherently due to our Asian stereotypes. We are taught different cultural values, and you will find that kids brought up in a more western setting, if I may call it that, will definitely stand out. The west promotes a different set of values, and I must say that it promotes creativity far more than our system does.

There is just 1 draw back on westernization, the sort of aggresiveness that comes with the package. If only there's a balance between east & west. You know like those karate kid that grew up in the west while learning the way of the east.

Au contraire, if one is not aggressive, new ideas are lost in the working world. As azarimy stated, it comes with creativity. I believe people want others to conform with their ideas or concepts.

But in any case, being aggressive isn't always wrong. Nobody is going to listen to a vegetable you know.
