This chapter is about how Easterners and Westerners perceive world differently.
Asians see the substances while Westerners see the objects: "Westerner sees a wall where the Asians sees concrete." (82)
Like the previous chapters, this chapter says that East Asians attend more closely to other people's attitudes and behaviors and I think so too thinking about Japanese. However, I don't think Chinese are like this because Chinese people who I have met are not. I think Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and other Asians are too different from each other to be grouped as Easterners. Although, I don't know how Chinese think and feel because I am Japanese so I'm reading this book considering that there are many Chinese people who think and feel like Japanese.
I thought it was interesting when I read that "Asians seem to believe outcomes will be better for them if they are simply in the same boat with others"(97), because I am like that too.
