Differences between the cultures of the two

Dividing the worlds'cultures into two is rather simplistic.
We normally say this to mean asian v/s european.This negates the views of the africans and the latin americans.


Western culture is very individual centered.It is also based on material conquest and is much moreopen to new ideas.Conflicting ideologies are not unusual within one community.Competition is more important than cooperation.

Eastern culture is very community oriented.It emphasizes tradition and is more patient when it comes to adapting new ideas.This is not to say that it won't adapt new ideas.It will just be more skepitcal of them at first. Homogenius ideologies are not unusual because of the emphasis on community. Cooperation is more important than competition.d
