Chap:2 The Social origin of Mind

Chapter 2 is like the continuation of chapter 1. Maybe every chapter is the extension of chapter 1.
Well, I couldn't keep my concentration for more than 5 minutes on this book so it took me such a long time to finish it.
In chapter 2, it seems more obvious to me that Nisbett thinks HE is superior to Eastern.
He talks about the ecology's effect on different ideas of Chinese and Greeks. His main idea of difference between Chinese and Greeks is the curiosity. Greeks have and Chinese doesn't, ike it says on page 40, last paragraph. What I did not like was the last paragraph on page 41.

Anyway, I do not have much to say on this chapter. Its mostly biased I think.
Let's hope to see some opinions that are not biased.
