I think what you pointed out in detail, has to do with Racial
Identity.
I mean, what would come to mind when you think of Indians?
Personally, I think of IT because many Indians are good in IT. I
also think of their wonderfully spicy and delicious food that they
serve. Equally, when I think of Americans, I remember Hollywood and
their many fantastic movies since time began, along with their many
ground-breaking discoveries and inventions in the name of science
and technologies. But when I think of China, I can only recall the
dreaded SARS that brought our SIA almost to its knees! China may be
huge and ancient, but they're entirely NEW to PROSPERITY. Which
means, many lessons ahead of them. First lesson to learn -
HUMILITY!
Now you tell me, what reputes a RACE? Can I now ask you what comes
to your mind when I ask you to think of an Iraqi or any middle
eastern individual?
In my opinion, a Race is known for what they're good in producing
in commercial and industrial terms as well as what they have all
these while been related to and in what international news that's
read about them.
Comparatively, our western counterparts are far more advanced in
social skills and manners, and this is very much in part to the
education system they were brought up in, the society they are
living in, and the kind of GOVERNMENT that governed them.
Creativity is allowed to flourish thus.
One word sums it all up - IMAGE.
No, actually TWO words sums things up - IMAGE &
ENVIRONMENT.
