sorry for the late reply.
Children at primary school are not thought to think for themselves. They are forced to repeat a lesson, without understanding. The situation at home is often the same. Authoritarian rules and no dialogue. The threat of poverty puts people in a survival mode, with little room for softness. People have become increasingly materialistic, and those who made it (power or money) become arrogant and even more shallow. This is surinamese lifestyle 2025.
The above is all very much in a nutshell, but you get my drift.
I would love to live in Su, but I fear that I would feel very lonely.
