Try not to judge a nation by its one or two representatives' misbehaviour


People who leave their countries should take responsibility for themselves, the way they behave. For example, a Lithuanian who arrived in Poland doesn’t only represent himself, but the society he derives from. If he does something wrong, Poles will think that all Lithuanians are impolite or dishonest, etc. We know that we shouldn’t evaluate bigger group based on one person's deeds, but we do it. Why? Because that’s human nature, but it works both ways. If we Poles make mistakes abroad, native people from these places will say unpleasant things about us too. That’s why every immigrant should behave worthily not to bring shame on their homeland.
