Our culture Sometimes when we speak to older people we just saying by his/her name. In my culture, it is not polite because we must respect to older person, we usually call them such as Sir, Miss, Mom, old brother, or old sister, in my language they are"Bapak, Ibu, abang or kakak. our cultures have to respect to other people, especially older people. please correcting that sentence. not to racism.. thanks
