Should I write my nationality in the documents?

In Kazakhstan’s social networks, there was a discussion about whether to indicate people’s nationality in their documents.

Personally, I hold the view that official relations within and between States are important for official information about a person that entails some legal consequences. For example, if the passport says that this is a citizen of Kazakhstan, then he can come to …

Others’ mistakes.

     Why are people so happy about other people’s mistakes and defeats? Especially about those of famous people.

     I think this is a subconscious excuse for their own weaknesses.

     It’s nice to think “I’m not perfect, but who is ideal? Look, even the great ones make slips! Why would I be held accountable?”

Test of candidates for the vacancy on decency.

     Recently I conducted an interview with candidates for work.

     Again I faced with a phenomenon that has firmly rooted in our business environment.

     Many candidates are not very flattering about their former employers.

     “I worked best, but they promoted other person.”

Well-treated children and offended children.

     Abroad, the most striking difference is the relationship between parents and children.

     Our former fellow citizens (I do not know which republics they are from, but they speak Russian) beat their children, shout at them, humiliate them in front of people. I have never seen such scenes from anyone else. Even among representatives of poor African …
