Romania Cultural Differences - A Blessing Or A Curse?

Romania cultural differences are not a recent issue. As they were divided in the past in more counties - each of them wants to prove their superiority. In general they are very proud of their native region and that is why they do their best in order to prove to their peers that their region is the greatest.

For example, let us talk about Romania cultural differences in Transylvania, which seems to be the most famous Romanian region in the world. This region is inhabited by Romanians, Hungarians and Saxons of Transylvania. They do live together and in general they get on well, but there are moments when cultural differences are obvious.

For instance if a Romanian kid happens to go to a Hungarian nursery school and if he is the only Romanian there, the other kids sort of feel cultural differences and keep bullying that poor kid. Furthermore, if at high school a Romanian girl gets on well with a Saxon one, and there are two Saxon girls in their class, if they must take a group photo, the Saxon girls can be found somewhere next to each other, not beside their Romanian friend. This can be called Romania cultural differences.

To continue with, Romania cultural differences can be considered from other points of view, too. For example, people appreciate transport facilities like roads and railroads. Drivers know very well that roads in Moldavia for example are worse than roads in Transylvania. In addition, there are some regions in Romania where the access to modern commerce is still limited. They do not have hypermarkets, malls or cash & carry facilities.

Cultural differences in Romania are as well based on access to education, or to culture. There is an obvious difference between a child and an adult who live in a village or a smaller town, from this point of view and a person who lives in a big city.

In big cities' children go to puppet theatres and their parents can go during their free time to the theatre, to concerts, to the cinema, whereas in small towns their only cultural opportunity is the television. In small towns and in village, people rarely have access to high quality music; therefore the music they listen to is closer to subculture.

Furthermore, even if we do not like to admit it, there is connection between money and cultural differences. If you earn more money, you have more opportunities to go to concerts or to the theatre or to travel and visit important places in the world. In Romania, there are cultural differences from this point of view too and the ones who suffer more are children at school because their richer classmates sometimes laugh at them.

Romania cultural differences are actually reflected in a multitude of other important aspects, for example - building prices, pollution of water, air and soil, access to the mountain or to the seaside, access to sport events, the existence of a zoo, criminality rate or distance until the border with the European Union.
