What is the difference between a Chinese and Western hero? There is a big difference; knowing the difference tells you much about how Chinese think about life and about work (and more).

Chinese culture is a rules-obeying, process oriented culture, Western culture is a law-obeying, results oriented culture. What do you do when your Chinese partner thinks how you do things (process) is more important than what gets done (results)?

    nowadays is global culture. So a country's culture do not influenced a person's a lot. Personal's value and character influenced a person more than his/her own culture.

  • Plato was just ...

    Plato was just another slave in the system. he claimed he didn't know, cause the truth was being hid from him and the world, if he knew he wouldn't told everyone. your perception of everything is clearly western ideology. most philosophers unfortunetly were slaves to the system and thats all they speak of. the truth is not artificial and the truth does cost money! reality cannot be washed in any natural disaster.
