The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
not criticizing someone else’s opinion
norm: when it is like this, it is good to do some things (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this:
When a person says to me about something “I think about it like this.”
I can’t say something like this to this person “It is bad if a person thinks like this.”
"If Chris says to Morgan: 'The world would be better if we all spoke English.' It is bad if Morgan says: 'Only an idiot would think that. Different languages make the world more interesting!'"
"If a child says to their mother: 'Mummy, I love lollies, I want to eat lollies every day.' It is bad if Mum says: 'Bad children eat lollies every day. You don't want to be a bad child do you?'"
