Content: The individual is given more worth in the western society, while it is the community and the family that tops the list in the eastern society. Both has its sets of pros and cons as the importance given to family forms a support system always available in times of need; the same might not be present to those in the west. However, the vital decisions of one’s life are often forced on an individual by the family or community in the east while this is hardly ever the case in the west. 6. Spirituality: Religion in the eastern society is given more importance than perhaps in the west. The importance of religion in the east can be gauged by the events related to religion that still stir societies in this part of the world. To this day there are riots and killings in the name of faith. Although religion is a very much existent concept in the west, it has not been stretched to the extent of intolerance like in the east.
