CHAPTER6

In my opinion, so far this chapter is the most interesting one.
It is amazing to actually realize my process of comprehension.

Nisbett says in the chapter that Greeks see things in the category with the same attributes and focus on the one-many organization, but on the other hand, Chinese classify things together according to their relationships and focus on the part-whole representation. I myself tried to group pictures on page141 and page 143 as I read through and ended up doing exactly the same as what Nisbett describes as a feature of Easterner. This surprised me a lot because it was obvious to me that cow goes with grass, and not with chicken (also, monkey with banana, and not with panda)! Seeing the same picture and digesting in different ways sounds very interesting fact to me.

maybe this gets off the subject, but by reading this chapter, I recalled a moving picture which a professor showed us in my biology class. It was called The Right Brain vs Left Brain. http://shinasfo.exblog.jp/6684608/ (can you see this?)

Which way did she turn around?Some people say right and some other people say left, even though they are looking at the same moving picture! It is amazing how we recognize things differently.
