The Western world in comparison to the eastern world

Primarily Asian countries

Why do we as western society act so impatient and impulsively in comparison to these societies that have advanced technology yet they still are more disciplined and patient than people who live on the western world

Why do you think that is?

Social media and smart phones conditioned Americans for instant responses. Getting a notification gives you dopamine z

@MrBrownstone this is true, but you have to take into accountability the Asian cultures having access to technology as well

They’re very tech savvy, and they really like gadgets

So if they are also being exposed to gadgets technology devices and social media, why are they not as impulsive / impatient as us?

@DeluxedEdition Great question. I can only speculate. Respect is more prevalent in Asian countries as well as patience.
