There are many social ramifications of different Eastern and Western modes of though. for example, Eastern medicine focuses on cure and intervention. Legally, Western rationalism has led to a focus on justice at odds with Eastern ideas about fairness and the complexity of circumstances. Quite naturally, these different views of law result in different views of debate and rhetoric, with Westerners focusing more on linguistic and logical devices that enable pursuit of a single truth. The pursuit of a single truth, in turn, may complicate matters such as international relations, politics in general, contracts, and even human rights; Asians make decisions in all these fields with a focus on cooperative, holistic, flexible solutions.
