Re: What are we? (Describing the self) (heh, what a subject line)
(Anonymous) 2012-09-28 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)If you asked someone in an individualistic culture such as the USA to describe themselves, they would be more likely to say things like: I'm an architect, I have a dog named Spot, I drive a Lexus, I have a quirk that's unique to me-- they would tell you the things that differentiate them from everyone else.
If you asked someone in a collectivist culture such as Japan to describe themselves, they would be more likely to say things like: I'm Japanese, I'm a graduate of X university, I'm an employee of Y organization, I belong to a group who does hobby X-- they would tell you which groups they fall into and which social circles they're a part of.
Neither is better or worse, only different.
Re: What are we? (Describing the self) (heh, what a subject line)
(Anonymous) 2012-09-29 02:27 am (UTC)(link)I myself, being a part of a society deeply influenced in some parts by American values, but which at the same time is a collectivist culture, tend to use both kinds of statements. "I do this for a living" and at the same time "I work for X organization" and "I belong to Y fandom". I really hadn't thought about it in these terms before, and as you said, neither are good or bad.
