"There are many differences between Chinese and Westernmedicine. These gaps arise from the differences of culturalbackground: Chinese medicine is more like a watercolor paintingthat focuses on the general aspect of the patient while Westernmedicine, an oil painting, zooms in on the details of the patient.Although they are both compared to as types of art, they allexhibit their unique differences."
"Many people are curious as to whether or not there aredifferences in the lifestyle between the East and the West. Thereis no exact definition of how a person should or should not havehis lifestyle due to the objective and subjective viewpoints onthe matter. But what is dear is the healthy or unhealthy ways ofliving-for instance, everyone can agree that smoking harms thebody. Similarly, we can all say that exercising is a healthy way oflife. I hope that I can clear up some of the misconceptions andstereotypes of our lifestyle differences in the Eastern and Westernsocieties."
