American Liberalism vs Asian Values

Just watched all three episodes of American Pie, an American teen flick which depicts of teenage lives of 5 dudes during their transition from high school to college and finally one of them getting married...

Its pretty amazing how liberal they are concerning certain issues of sex... they actually have house parties organised with the aim of getting everybody drunk and having sex with anyone whom they can chance upon... American Liberalism at its best i guess... Somehow, I remembered that such parties are available during my jc days, organised by my friends in school and such... but I am not really sure about the sex part thou... Think Asians are still constraint by the Asian values, which is a good thing still...

Sex is not the main issue which i wanna pen down here, but it seems that most people associate liberalism with sex anyway, but personally, I felt that their care-free way of life and their take things as they come attitude is somewhat Singaporeans could take a few pointers from... Not follow blindly but I think Singaporeans need to relax a little, too much emphasis on studies, its not about results anymore, not entirely anyway... Times have changed, people need to realise, but sadly they don't, still indulging in their get good results and get a good job with a good pay attitude...
Sadly... but truly...
