As I watched the movie The Last Emporer, there's a scene that portrayed a sample of the difference between the Western culture and the Eastern culture. (All this is not to say which is better. It is just a simple observation, which I think is still applicable to today's world):
The scene involved the young emporer and the Western tutor. The tutor was invited to ride on a carriage carried by servants. One of those servant asked for a tip which the tutor gave. So the emporer ordered that servant to be punished. And another servant apologized to the tutor while giving back his money. Now here's the point: the tutor said he was not offended, but the servant said "It was the emporer who has been offended."
