Elizabeth Tise, English teacher, grew up in a Romanian household, and notices there is a difference between American and immigrant parents. “Because American society is so diverse and we are made up of a modge podge of different cultures, the lines get really blurry between what is politically correct and what is not politically correct,” Tise said. “Romania is a very small country, it's a very particular culture and it's a very, very old culture. We've been around since before the Roman Empire - before we were conquered by the Roman Empire, it was called Dachia; Romanian culture is older than Rome itself. It's been around forever, so because that culture is very much established and very deeply rooted, and it's had a much longer time to develop, I think that's why it's a little bit more stringent than American culture.”
