Blago Srbiji sa ovolikim brojem ljudi koji ovu finansijsku krizu vide kao krah neoliberalizma i potvrdu njihovih ideoloskih stavova, koji su im utuvljeni u glavu tokom lekcija na casovima Marksizma.

„Developmental psychologists Anne Fernald and Hiromi Morikawa went into the homes of Japanese and Americans having infants either six, twelve, or nineteen months old. They asked the mothers to clear away the toys from a play area and then they introduced several that they had brought with them—a stuffed dog and pig and a car and a truck. They asked the mothers to play with the toys with their babies as they normally would…American mothers used twice as many object labels as Japanese mothers ("piggie,„ "doggie„) and Japanese mothers engaged in twice as many social routines of teaching politeness norms (empathy and greetings, for example). An American mother's patter might go like this: 'That's a car. See the car? You like it? It's got nice wheels.' A Japanese mother might say: 'Here! It's a vroom vroom. I give it to you. Now give this to me. Yes! Thank you.' American children are learning that the world is mostly a place with objects, Japanese children that the world is mostly about relationships."

But in China, the reading primers are different. The first page shows a little boy on the shoulders of a bigger boy. „Big brother takes care of little brother. Big brother loves little brother.

„...not individual action but relationships between people that seem important to convey in a child's first encounter with the printed word."

While we tend to say „I am who I am," our Asian friends may more likely make reference to social roles —„I am Lori's friend." We say „See Dick run;" they say „Dick loves Jane" (the Truth about Dick and Jane, at long last).
