As Nisbett had explained, the Pacific is indeed a wide ocean when it comes to how people on each side tend to look at the same image. Take a photograph of a tiger in the jungle. Americans are more likely to focus on the tiger and what it can do. The Chinese are more likely to focus instead on the jungle and the way it influences every aspect of the tiger’s life. Neither approach is wrong, and arguably a combination of the two could be most valuable. But the differences are clear.
