From "nursing etiquette and moral standard":

5. Control your emotions. Don't laugh at patients in their presence. Get out of the room then laugh at them.

Just because it's culturally accepted doesn't mean it's right.I've heard it a few times when someone told me "20th century na, ang old school mo." Or "it's acceptable na to do this this and this".

People's moral standards are often dictated based on what is acceptable in our times. If you think about it,  it keeps changing as if morality was subjective and not absolute.

Let's take a look at examples in the Bible. Polygamy was culturally accepted in those times, yet in the stories where there was Polygamy, there was always strife.

Abraham took Hagar to try and fulfil God's promise for Him, only to cause enmity in the future between the Ishmaelites and the Israelites.

Gideon was a judge who did many great exploits for God but he had 72 sons and many wives and this ended up in a great slaughter of 1 son of his concubine killing all 72 but 1.

David married a lot and took in many concubines and he had a very dysfunctional family where there was rape, there was murder and conspiracies.

Solomon didn't finish well because his wives from other nations led him astray to worship other gods.

Bottom-line: Just because something is culturally accepted in our days doesn't make it right. 

Go back to God's word. It is unchanging in every era and season. God's word is absolute and is ever reliable and true. So when in doubt of what to do, go to God's word.
