Also, is the video accurate according to you?

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I see them being lovely in their own ways. Why should there be a better one?

[Amur8711]

Traditional western I would say is better. Modern Western is not better

The child and dog part is not accurate, east asia have a demographic problems like the west.

Western culture is better at being geographically positioned in the west and Eastern culture is better at being geographically positioned in the East.

Except Australia (and New Zealand) which is western culture geographically positioned in the East.

The video is for humour and not meant to insult. In the video, the age is mad (a kid can’t be 40) and the ‘if at first you don’t succeed, don’t come home’ saying doubtfully is a common saying in the East. My opinion is better the East. I love tea and studying is educational. Bikes are more environmentally friendly. The eastern dress is fabulous.

the video is mostly bullshit. as expected from a channel called "factcheck tv".

and "better" according to what metrics?

[Babygirl_S]

Where do people have better lives?

[genericname85]

"better lives" measured by what metric exactly? like objective markers of wellbeing or subjektive wellbeing metrics?

[genericname85]

because how people evaluate what a "good life is" is not universally agreed upon globally. there's big cultural differences.

The video has some major flaws. Parents in Asia don't disown their children if they don't succeed in school for the most part. High school is pretty tough in China, but not necesarily in other areas.

[OfMiceandMen]

There is no better culture, it is what it is. They both have their con's.

[Cubus]

Depends what do you mean by "western" and "eastern".

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Isn't that obvious? The East and The West? Cold war bro.

[Cubus]

@The_Shadow_Dweller Is Russia East or West?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Good question. I searched for the question. This article is what I got. I just read the excerpt though.

[Cubus]

@The_Shadow_Dweller Ok, why in the world Mali or Mauretania are considered "Western" in this map, but Russia or Ukraine are not?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I simply don't know in depth. You can search for that.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Neither there both great in there own way why does one have to be better than the other why can't we just appreciate both cultures

[Dargil]

Too many subgroups to make an assessment.

[Guardian45]

Neither is "better"; just different!
