i often add the disclaimer "in Western society" to my political or philosophical opinions because i grew up in austria. but i was born in Bosnia. i spent the first seven years of my life there, and then many more summers.
we have a word in Bosnian, "divaniti". it has the same root as the "long, cushioned seat," in the west. but we use it to say "chatting with your neighbour over coffee, for about four hours"
