Download The Girl at the Baggage Claim: Explaining the East-West Culture Gap AudioBook Free
The Lady at the Baggage Lay claim is a provocative and important study of the several ideas easterners and westerners have about the home and population and what this means for current debates in fine art, education, geopolitics, and business. Never have East and Western world come as close as they are today, yet we are still baffled by one another. Is our mantra "To thine own home be true"? Or do we believe that we participate in something larger than ourselves - a family group, a religion, a troop - that cases our first allegiance? Gish Jen - drawing on a treasure trove of stories and personal anecdotes, as well as cutting-edge research in social psychology - uncovers how this difference styles what we understand and remember, everything we say and do and make - how it styles from our ideas about copying and chatting in class to the difference between Apple and Alibaba. As participating as it is illuminating, this is a publication that stands to profoundly enrich our knowledge of ourselves and of our world.
