Culture Similarities and Differences
Introduction
This is the summary findings of an interview I conducted with a male friend aged 25

towards various issues in society.

desire to make an accurate decision, and reduce the effort used in the making of the decision.
This was quite different from our perspective of a methodological decision-making process,
whereby the decision is seen as a goal or an endpoint. To make a decision, an evaluation of
