6. Cultural expriences
Generally speaking, people from Western
countries (English speaking countries and
European countries) are better at arts while
people from eastern countries such as China,
Korea or Japan are better at logical thinking.
Thousands of logical puzzles that passed on
from generation to generation in China are
being known to Western countries yet. We

the year as part of our cultural experiences.
