- A documentary with interesting studies about Eastern and Western thought, not their opinions of a specific topic, but mental schemes, reasoning and learning. Part 2 of 2
Attention.
I'm not the owner of this material, i upload only to reference and auto-learning about yotube tools
I found this utterly fascinating. THANK YOU very much for uploading parts 1 & 2.
fantastic documentary,
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.
Both cultures have their pros and cons.
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.
Thank you! The documentaries are Excellent!!! MUST watch both parts!
Loved the documentary.. Me being an Indian figured I tend to think mostly in the eastern way..
The First-Person view is Egotistical = Western selfishness, but Third-Person is Group-Oriented = community.
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
In the West, Intellectuals claim a priority in "finding truth"; when ours are Just Talkers.
For hundreds of years, the Young learned best as Apprentices from an experienced Master [this is the Greek school model.]
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
The USA mainly attracted individual migration, whereas in history [Europe/Asia] it was usually tribal (community) migrations.
Wow, now I get why I've never felt like I fit in in America
I need to live in Japan!
lol yesssss
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.
Very nice!
Thank you. This VDO is amazing!
We call it fractals in western math but Natural Law in the East.
Independent Choosers make Better Consumers that are directly manipulated by Advertisers.
Watch the failure of Rationality as automated Close-Captioning cc tries to state what is being said [e.g. 4 Korean Mountain names].
Part 1 is available in US, why not part 2?
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.
"Suspicion of outsiders" is true of every culture, just not apparent to you because you are an insider in your own culture.
Don’t rely on this program to judge people, esp mainland Chinese. You’ll be regretting.
In this video, it is depended what the question was being asked.
I don't understand the metaphor with the marbles....
This video isnt playable where else could I watch it?????
The Indra-Web is still a static perspective; relationships are more symmetrical; hence [dynamic] action-at-a-distance (like gravity).
This documentary is a bit too black & white.
It's all based on generalizations.
What do you mean by black and white?
Isn’t the term “black and white”means documentaries?
where do the speakers come from? if they speak in english exactly like bristain english or american english?
We need to use "WE" more & less "I".
I am from China and living in Finland. I feel this a lot from my experience. When Chinese people talk, people normally use WE a lot in the chatting and seem to avoid using I, I feel they would feel too self-centered when talk much "I". Whereas when study and work in Finland, I feel I have been encouraged to say "I" a lot, personal opinions are more appreciated and very few chance to say "WE". When I chat with Chinese friends, and tried to use lots of "I", or asked them do you personally think, it was easy to get rejecting reaction.
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.
In the West, we see Economics as 'Laws of Nature' [bogus].
Economics is a created system and once you understand the money creation process, you see what a scam/sham the entire system is. Its created by people who have zero productivity off the backs of the productivity of others, and holding the productive people to ransom. The common misunderstanding is that you borrow money from banks who got their money from depositors. But that's such A HUGE LIE that once you actually understand "fractional reserve banking" you see it for the scam it is.
I loved it, but it didn't apply to me :( I generally answered the same as Easterners :)
I think the "Western" perspective presented is somewhat skewed towards Anlo-American culture. Also, with more education and exposure to new ideas, the western perspective becomes less rigid.
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
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!
This video is about to say how different perspective between East and West. you can live as you want, and nobody cares.
No one cares, Steven!
This is a very negative way to view it. Easterner care about the collective/others more. They don’t try to just bulldoze their way through life disregarding others.
I think a middle ground is a best way to be here. Western thoughts seem way too selfish which also causes issues.
I come from a background that is both east and west so I typically understand the world very differently. No side is superior
your superego (and ego, probably, i pity your id tbh): 👁️👄👁️
context: you’re a slave to no one ofc, _except_ yourself
@@alchemygal3285yup. if we think about it, synergy is important in our global society; we acknowledge the needs of the many by enhancing the needs of the individual _and_ vice versa
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.
We take care of immediate families and relationships, so of course our government tends to be "corrupt" because those in power will look after their families and friends. It's all about the connections and the people you know, not how well you can play the system. We don't try to be systematic with our "charity" and give to people who have nothing to do with us.
But of course the white man way of doing things is superior. Just look at your technology and weapons. You'll blow us to smithereens any day.
Phi009 I do not want. We should find a way to work together and not against each other. People caring for people
Thommy Strömdahl it's true that nowadays westerners had good quality of life than eastern. but you must look back in the past while western is surrounded of war the eastern is much peaceful, nowadays didn't it was westerners logic make easterner fully of selfish corruption etc. ?
hmmmm i wonder why if this is why easterners have smaller eyes and westerners have larger ones...
hmmmm Troll wonders if this comment is why most people think westerners have smaller brains. ∑=)
