I never thought about WHY I (Easterner) think in my way and Westerners think in their ways. However, this chapter stated that ecologies of ancient Greece and China were very different which led to differences in their surroundings and habits of mind.
It was interesting to read that Greeks were in habits of arguing with each other through trade and Chinese cooperated with one another to live in harmony because of rice farming. It made sense to me that these necessary social actions changed people's way of thinking which corresponded with regional characteristics.
oh, by the way, my room key is back!
