Differing world views of Asian and European Americans

" The way we see ourselves in the world can affect how we answer ambiguous questions like: “Next Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. What day is the meeting now on?” "

How would you answer this question?

See the different answers Asian Americans and European Americans give and read more about the difference between the way these two subcultures view the world at http://www.bps-research-digest.blogspot.co.uk/2007/10/asian-americans-and-european-americans.html .

Vocabulary

ambiguous (adj.) - unclear, with more than one meaning




In what ways do you think your own culture affects your view of the world?

Do you think people from different cultures are more different than they are similar?
