Compared to the first chapter, chapter two seemed easier to read. In which I mean that I was little more interested then the last time. As Richard E. Nisbett continues to compare Greece and Chinese, he begins to discuss the difference between Western and Eastern. He, than, uses charts to explain what had caused such differences between those two and how it happened.
Though out the writing so far, I somehow do not get an impression of simple comparison being made. It is more like Eastern is being compared to Western, and not the other way around. Impression of this book gets worse when the author mentions that at one point, Westerners has caught up Easterners in every field. Before that, both plus and minus points were listed tentatively. However, from that statement, Westerners seems to have become perfect.
I understand so little about what is written in this book.
