This seventh chapter was mainly about being logical. According to Nisbett, Easterners are more likely to set logic aside, being often influenced by plausibility of conclusions, and Westerners tend to apply logical rules to ordinary events, being more capable of ignoring the plausibility of the conclusions.
Asians also prefer seeking compromise and accept propositions which contain contradiction, but Americans tend to avoid contradictions.
I don't have many things to comment about this chapter because there were only a few parts which I had a sympathy with.
I predict thatwhy Asians have the habit of compromise and could accept contradiction is because they were needed in order to maintain harmonious relationships in the belonging society.
At the end of this chapter, there was a short summary of what Nisebett has mentioned in the previous chapters. I finally have a few more to go=3=3
