Summary/Abstract It is well known that US culture is a dominant force and its exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a world-wide phenomenon. But it is possible that its most troubling export has yet to be accounted for? In Crazy Like Us, Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of US culture has been the bulldozing of the human psyche itself: it is in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad.

Geography of thought: How Asians and Westerners think differently...and why / Nisbett, Richard E. 2003  Book
Nisbett, Richard E. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Free Press, 2003.
Description xxiii, 263pGrey spine
Summary/Abstract People actually think - and even see - the world differently, because of differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies, and educational systems that date back to ancient Greece and China, and that have survived into the modern world. As a result, East Asians think 'holistically' - that the world is a circle - while Westeners think 'analytically' - that it is ia line. From feng shui to metaphysics, from comparative linguistics to economic history, a gulf separates the children of Aristotle from the descendents of Confucius. At a momen in history when the need for cross-cultural understading and collaboration have never been more important, 'the geograpahy of thought' offers both a map to that gulf, and a blueprint for a bridge that might be able to span it
