Yes, “countercultural” is such a good word for it. Not going along with the flaws of modern society, but still embracing inclusivity, accepting and understanding people who are different. That’s always been built into me as a professional expat — I’ve lived in four countries, been exposed to countless cultures, religions, and traditions. My husband’s the same. And now we’re raising our son with that same awareness, and I love it.
