Abstract

This paper documents, from contemporary Asia, the fact that people of different backgrounds have different perspectives on the same problems. Background must include, for this purpose, some components of individual experience, but is most precisely related to the group from which the person draws his definitions and learns how to interpret what happens to him. I shall try to describe briefly how the issues of: 1) Asian history and western technical assistance, 2) work, 3) corruption, 4) population growth, 5) the family, 6) competition, and 7) nationhood are seen by Asians and how they are seen by westerners.
