re: #199 Obdicut

That’s one.

In fact, looking at the Stanford paper again, it is clear while the authors refer to a ‘blending’ of cultures or a lesser divide of cultures- they acknowledge differences, between western based guilt societies versus shame societies.

Context is also important. The authors refer to collectivist societies versus more individualistic societies. As these lines blend, nuances become more important.

There is also an interesting point made between between self esteem and self views.

I shall work on the assumption (for now) that in your haste you misunderstood the Stanford paper and probably the others as well.
