The "Western" and the "Eastern" types.

 As a typical perception, when someone is called “Western,” the mind conjures an image of a person who is scientific, intellectual, rational, questioning, and innovative. “Eastern,” on the other hand, is portrayed as reactionary, religious, bigoted, closed-minded, and traditional. In my mind, however, what emerges is this: the Westerner, constrained by the narrowness of their perspective, is an arrogant lover of money and pleasure, while the Easterner is an ascetic priest possessing inner depth and bearing spiritual resilience.
