DISCLAIMER (for scientific studies and references SCROLL BELOW)

Of course not all Eastereners are alike nor Westerners are; there may be Westerners that relate more to the Easterners’ way of thinking and vice-versa. But still meaningful generalizations from many scientific studies (see below) can be found regarding general differences in cognition.

I’m sure you can notice how “Western" I am by how I am clearly separating the two categories (East vs. West) and oversimplifying these features ;).



INFORMATION

This video is inspired by Richard Nisbett’s “The Georgaphy of Thought” which is an enlightening read.

Of course these are just a few examples that show the differences in cognition between the two areas. There is much more to discuss and talk about!
