West and East, Cultural Differences 2/2 

I found this utterly fascinating. THANK YOU very much for uploading parts 1 & 2.

fantastic documentary,

Thank you! The documentaries are Excellent!!! MUST watch both parts!

Both cultures have their pros and cons.

Loved the documentary.. Me being an Indian figured I tend to think mostly in the eastern way..

I've just created another word which is subindividualistic because I believe an indiviual can be broken down further. For example each human being has a right side and a left side of the brain with each defining only a fraction of the particular individual person. This goes with objects and ideas as well with the necessary explanations required to explain this phenomenon.

Keiji Nishitani summed it up "A is A, because A is not A". If you see the world in terms of change and relationality, it leads to very different understandings of the self, objects, and the world.

watching this and figuring it out I am half and half of this xD and also my own parts of Mexican culture but I am so glad this was made, it soothes and clears up a lot of my own thinking

Part 1 is available in US, why not part 2?

This video isnt playable where else could I watch it?????

Very nice!

The First-Person view is Egotistical = Western selfishness, but Third-Person is Group-Oriented = community.

For hundreds of years, the Young learned best as Apprentices from an experienced Master [this is the Greek school model.]

In the West, Intellectuals claim a priority in "finding truth"; when ours are Just Talkers.

I liked the documentary but i feel it's a bit biased. Those tests never get clear cut results like it is shown here. I made my thesis on the history of perspective and depth perception in art. Perespective was understood in only some cultures. It's normal that somewhere else you get concepts as retroperspective as they call it. Also not fair to compare an old art piece from korea and the works of DaVinci that was born right on time when perspective was understood almost perfectly. Again nice documentary, but someone's got to be careful before falling into stereotyping for no reason

Watch the failure of Rationality as automated Close-Captioning cc tries to state what is being said [e.g. 4 Korean Mountain names].

Thank you. This VDO is amazing!

The USA mainly attracted individual migration, whereas in history [Europe/Asia] it was usually tribal (community) migrations.

I did not have a choice of breakfast but I had four brothers and a sister. I think there are advantages and disadvantages both cultures. I was s born and raised in NYC. I have aspects of both eastern and western cultures. It may be because I was raised in a large family and also because NYC has a diverse population. I like the framing of the topic. AND not VERSUS.

I don't understand the metaphor with the marbles....

Wow, now I get why I've never felt like I fit in in America I need to live in Japan!

In this video, it is depended what the question was being asked.

We call it fractals in western math but Natural Law in the East.

where do the speakers come from? if they speak in english exactly like bristain english or american english?

The Indra-Web is still a static perspective; relationships are more symmetrical; hence [dynamic] action-at-a-distance (like gravity).

We need to use "WE" more & less "I".

I loved it, but it didn't apply to me :( I generally answered the same as Easterners :)

Independent Choosers make Better Consumers that are directly manipulated by Advertisers.

In the West, we see Economics as 'Laws of Nature' [bogus].

I'm asian when I first try to answer it or not I got i t all collect I fee I'm reading the eastern mind

Don’t rely on this program to judge people, esp mainland Chinese. You’ll be regretting.

I think you are generalizing here and not taking into account individuals. While I agree with you that many Westerners think this way, I also see exactly the same thing in Easterners too. It is called tribalism and is something that all cultures share. I certainly do not experience an openess to new ideas in much of Eastern culture, if anything it seems more keen on holding onto traditions and suspicious of outsiders.

This documentary is a bit too black & white.

It shows some interesting studies but no clear total numbers and backgrounds. Overall, without considering a lot of historical and current political factors, it’s an overly simplistic program about both sides. Nice try, however.

It is Electrons, NOT atoms that are uncuttable & electrons only interact, they can never be seen: only their effects.

The Easterners and the Westerners should had answered the same if they were both had the same questions on the same objects.

People in East Asian are treated like robots, as individualism seems to be totally disregarded there; while people in the Western world are free to follow their own path. I strongly prefer to live the latter, less tyrannical way of life - thank you very much - because I want to be free than be treated like a mindlessly obedient robot!

Just look at how we live. West social welfare, Unemployment Benefits, take care of our old and sick. East... Corruption, Poverty, Why do i even bother.... Just look at cold war West and East Europe. Berlin Wall!... Its not that simple as this video makes it out to be.

hmmmm i wonder why if this is why easterners have smaller eyes and westerners have larger ones...
