The distinction of culture. 11-11-2015, 07:29 PM

I don't know how to start this. I wouldn't suppose the further mentionings as literature. They are simply observations made in retrospect.
The first day I got off of the plane in Arizona, I was greeted with a blast of heat into my face. Normally, the temperature would be enough to piss me off if I wasn't indoors enjoying A/C. This wasn't the case, though. I couldn't exactly place the reason as to why I was so calm in the new atmosphere.
After living in Arizona for over a month, I slowly got to understand their culture even though I was mostly indoors. The children, the students, and the teenagers all seemed to maintain a proper form of etiquette. Perhaps this was not necessarily the case, but when I saw these individuals I didn't get the impulse to smack their faces. When I saw these people, I wanted to help them if they needed help or befriend them if they desired friends. In California, every time I spot a teenager, I want to pull down their sagging pants, smash their douche shades into their eyes, choke the fags that wear tank tops, and/or snuff their cigarettes because they think they're so fucking dank. It's not the apparel, or actions that directly affect me, but in California, these children seem to not know their place. They get whatever the hell they want, talk back to whoever, and talk shit on whoever.
It's strange. I never expected such a major difference in culture. (Mostly teenage and young adult culture).
Another interesting observation that was a bit more obscure. The people who had valuables and or pricier possessions in the A state didn't seem to center other people's attention directly to those possessions. In Cali, these devices are always the center of discussion. Everyone thinks they are so updated and if they aren't, the world burns in front of them. Maybe "everyone" is a stretch, but I dare say 70% of the population enjoy flashing their iPhones/smartphones to the less fortunate.
In Arizona, I suppose most things just is. In California, most things must be.
That might be the distinction between the two bordering states.
