This works for me to , but my iPhone is my main business communication phone . It ' s just so unprofessional . <| sep |> I ' ve never had soup . <| sep |> Embracing your culture doesn ' t mean being bound by it , being free and modern doesn ' t mean you have to eradicate your cultural habits altogether . In fact I can ' t think of a single major character , who doesn ' t embrace some part of the culture he or she came from . Sometimes it even gets pretty cringeworthy , like Commander Sisko diving into his Cajun roots in the kitchen or Chakotay contacting his spirit guide in his cabin . But it ' s been there from the very beginning , with Spock struggling to understand humans and preserve his Vulcan heritage at the same time . So I have to disagree with you , and say that in fact the opposite is true . That cultural differences adds to the narrative making it multifacetedIf all the characters were bland , politically correct new agers , there would never be any differences of opinion among the crew , which would make for a boring show if you ask me .
