Chapter 6 - Is the World Made Up of Nouns or Verbs?

From my own experience, I was thinking that there's a difference between Japanese and Americans
that while Japanese prefer complicated, difficult and complex stuff, Americans prefer more simple easy-to-understand stuff.

Nisbett mentions in 6th chapter that westerners prefer to see things in categories that are represented by nouns which is easy to understand,
whereas easterners prefer to think relationships are important that involve verbs which are more difficult to learn.

for instance,
i think americans love actions and SF movies, which have quite easy story and even childish, compared to Japanese who prefer to watch movies that are more emotional, complicated and hard-to-understand story. i totally reject them but i don't know why people in Japan love Miyazaki Hayao's Jiburi Film. there're just boring!

well, what I've just said might be completely off the nisbett's point...
but i think his theory about westerners and easterners are some how all connected
and that makes his argument strong and persuasive.


ok , I'll go back to Fisher now..
