Reading the 5th chapter, I think i have found one of the fallacies being made. "Non sequitur"-"linking two or more ideas that in face have no logical connection."
On page120, it happends. Nisbett explains about the resault he has found by asking Koreans and Americans about personality and situation. He discribes that "Koreans thought that personalities are more subject to change the Americans did." Watch closely to what happends next. He connects the that fact to their traditional way of fiewing the world. Western regarding the world as static and Eastern regarding as constantly changing.
I do not see how their view on personality can directly connect to how they view the world. There is not enough explaining of how those two connects. That idea suddenly appears in the paragraph and left without being treated as an issue.
I think everyone is halfway back to ICU by now.
I have so many things to regret.
But it is too late now.
Im looking forward to hear what all happend over there :D
