Differences in Thinking
JeffinKorea has posted some of the most insightful analysis of the differences in how Koreans and Americans think that I’ve seen anywhere. His thesis is that Koreans reason inductively–moving from the conclusion to the facts–rather than deductively, as most westerners tend to do.
My comment below his post extends his insight to the growing chasm between Americans and Koreans to the SOFA and North Korea. I think Jeff is onto something here.
