#49 Know Your World: What East and West think about each other

โ–ถ๏ธ Much can be said about the differences between East and West, and you may well argue that there no such places called โ€œthe Westโ€ or โ€œthe Eastโ€. Nonetheless there seem to be some differences between Western and non-Western cultures. Check out this infographic about different values and perceptions (=ways to see and understand) of each other. Iโ€™m sure you can relate some points to your experience!
