Chapter8 AND IF THE NATURE OF THOUGHT IS NOT EVERYWHERE THE SAME?

I felt that this chapter was a kind of summary or conclusion of the whole book. Nisbett mentioned medicine, law, debate, science, rhetoric, contracts, international relations, human rights, and religion as the domains of life in which Easterners and Westerners think and behave differently. Each of them were explained with some examples and the religion part was especially interesting. I think it's because it seems like religion reflects their spirits, which is the basic part of thoughts.

It was hard for me to think whether educators should give other cultures' skills to its children or not, since Easterners and Westerners have different ways of understanding materials. This made me think a lot. However I agree with the part that said these diverse views should be helpful for solving problems. That's because I think that when solving a problem, it is important to have flexible thinking and to look at the problem from different perspectives. I want more information about this... I want to read more about how these different views will help with solving a problem.

Well I finished reading Nisbett except the epilogue!

Good night everyone!
