Chaldeans are generally friendly, hospitable, helpful, and hardworkers. They enjoy conversation, visiting one another and discussing business and news from the old country. Chaldeans often mind their own business when they are in large social events and very seldom do they participate with their families in local, state, and national festivities. Chaldeans are not individualistics and they draw from each other's strength, support, and resources. They are very proud of their ancient history, culture, and religion, and about the fact that they can trace their ancestory from the village of Telkaif and other nearby Christian villages.
Chaldean people feel it is very important to project an impression of affluence and social position.
Appearance is extremely important and individual and family success through cooperation and sacrifices is what is being passed to future generations.
