| ...which is probably why sociologists can write entire books about the subject. :) For example, societies that prefer physical activity and adventure (hiking, backpacking) over luxury and comfort (resorts, cruises) value self-reliance over personal wealth. And that's just one comparison combination.
As far as a month's vacation, try Europe. Many european countries have 4 weeks vacaction as a minimum via labour statutes, unlike the paltry 2 weeks we get in North America. I met a couple on the cruise that each had 7 weeks of vacation a year, and they had only been in their jobs for three years. |
