Eastern Mentality vs Western Mentality
I'd like to know have a good discussion on the differences of Eastern mentalities and by contrast, Western mentalities. Stuff like family values, politics, cultural preferences, justice systems, etc.

1. People with an Eastern mentality argue over who sells the best cheesesteaks

For the Western mentality, the issue is fish tacos.

4. "Eastern" and "Western" are big areas
Expecting China, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand to have a similar outlook on life is like expecting Mexico, Canada, Belgium, and Finland to have a similar outlook on life.
