My observation is that the West is acculturated with the Christian values so you geniunely care for the poor. Then, you have the Gates Foundation with Buffet's full support to help the poor around the world. In the East, people usually leave their wealth to the heirs, not the charity. However, some charity groups such as Tzu Chi, a buddism in nature charity organiation, did a great job in helping the poor and needed. It really turns me off when the local church christians despised Tzu Chi and said that it is not a work of Christ.

4. Order over freedom. Very similar to number 3, except this is in behavior. In the Lord's Recovery, you have complete freedom, as long as everything that you do is for the building up of the Group. And the Maximum Brother has told us what is for the building up of the Group.
Gradually, I tell myself that if I work for a company I have to obey the rules and follow orders. When I can't handle it anymore, I quit. Is it a common practice both in the West and the East?
