Chapter4 "EYES IN BACK OF YOUR HEAD" OR "KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL"?

This chapter was very interesting because it showed so many results of experiments.
I was somehow not so surprised to know that Westerners see objects separate from their environments and Easterners tend to see background events. However I was very surprised to know that Westerners tend to think that things don't change so much while Easterners believe that things change and will not remain in the same situation for a long time. I always think in the Eastern way of thinking which means that I'm a typical Easterner...

In page 82, Nisbett says that the difference between Americans and Japanese appeared even on infants. Does this mean that the difference between them attribute to nature instead of nurture? By reading page 80, I first thought that these differences depends on nuture. In this page Nisbett describes a Western father asking questions to his son about certain objects. He says that these questions are unusual to Easterners because they have cultural differences in perception and cognition. I thought these differences are caused by the differences of the way of raising a child like the example of page 80. hmmm Well I think both nature and nurture are causing these differences.
