Asian Values
There has been much talk of Asian Values etc, my question is, what do they mean by the term "Asian".
Asia as a geographic term sretches from the Bosphorus to the Bering Strait, from far northern Siberia to Indonesia. Is that what is meant? Are values in the Phillipines the same as in Turkey or Uzbekistan?
Do we break it down further, do we divide Asia into the Near East (Near to whom, certainly not us), Central Asia, South Asia, South East Asia etc.
Do the various cultures in South East Asia share a common set of values?
If Indonesia is in Asia, why isn't Papua New Guinea after all the island of New Guinea s shared between the to?
