You've been told what to think, not how to think.
Don't make sweeping generalizations. I could name quite a few stereotypes about Eastern nations, but they would be inaccurate for a large percentage of the populations in said countries, just like the stereotype you just used on Western nations doesn't apply to certain populations over here.
Now the phenomenon you are talking about may be very real in a social sense. People listen to what the media feed them, and I personally agree with that belief, as unfortunate as it is.
However, when it comes to learning about science, technology, and ultimately the nature of existence as we are aware of it, we are taught to make judgements based on careful observation and repeatable experimentation using the scientific method, not based on superstitious conjectures, religious scriptures, or what the media shoves in our faces.
So effectively, your statement is partly true for a
percentage of certain Western citizens in certain
social situations, but it is completely
irrelevant when I am citing proven and as of yet unbreakable laws of science to defend my own
scientific argument, which I have come to believe only through unbiased
scientific observation.
I can't argue on that level because that's the highest level I know about.
Then why in hell did you try to cite
multiple scientific fields in order to win an argument, if you have no idea how they even work or relate to the subject?
Plus, you have access to the *
ENTIRE* internet to research literally every scientific concept in the world (including the ones I have invoked) if you want to. Not knowing isn't an excuse to pretend my arguments simply don't exist just because you cannot cite convincing evidence that is consistent and repeatable to support the validity of your own.
