Today, we\u2019re exploring the \u201cCulture of Freedom.\u201d We\u2019re asking a big question: Is there such a thing as too much freedom in some cultures? We&#8217;ll look at how freedom affects our own cultures but also how our own cultures have an influence on the freedom we are granted. We will focus on aspects of safety, creativity and even romantic relationships. This is the Absolutely Intercultural Podcast \u2013my name is Laurent Borgmann, and I&#8217;m here to guide you through this journey around different aspects of freedom<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\"><span class=\"dig-Theme dig-Theme--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\">Is true freedom about choosing whatever we want, or is it simply about creating a good life within agreed limits? What is the role of freedom during a war, an outbreak of repeated terrorism in a country or a world-wide pandemic? Will total freedom really spark our creativity, or is it the boundaries and limitations that actually fuel our most innovative ideas? Is choosing your own life partners the ultimate freedom, or do arranged marriages offer a kind of family safety net, deeply valued in many cultures?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely safe<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-Theme dig-Theme--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"> In our first story, we will listen to Xavier from Australia. He shares with us how he thought a lot about the paradox of Freedom vs. Safety during the Corona Crisis down-under where the freedom of movement was much more rigorously restricted than in most parts of Europe. When faced with extreme challenges, Xavier noticed in himself that he actually preferred lockdowns over predicted anarchy, no matter how strict and unprecedented the new Corona regulations were<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely independent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-Theme dig-Theme--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\">In our second story, we will listen to Raghavan from India. He talks about his niece in the United Kingdom who, like many young Indians abroad, is now enjoying an unexpected window of freedom to build a career and find a life partner by herself. These young expats often have the opportunity to choose someone they love, a freedom they would perhaps not have in their own country. However,if they can&#8217;t find someone quickly, their parents will jump in and help by arranging their marriage, even from a distance of 8.000 kms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely creative<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-Theme dig-Theme--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\">In our last story, we will listen to Figo from Turkey who does not feel free to express his artistic freedom. He feels that social biases and narrow-mindedness discourage him from sharing his music, particularly on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-Theme dig-Theme--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\">What are your thoughts on freedom? Do you think we have all gone too far with personal freedom? Or do you think more freedom would make your country a better place?
