C. ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF LEARNING

(New learning attained/old learning confirmed)

I learned that there are a lot of differences between western culture and eastern culture. For
example in western culture they are more on self improvement or individualistic while in eastern
culture they are engaged with groups and leadership.

D. SIGNIFICANCE OF OUTCOME
(Soft skills or values learned from the outcome of the activity)

I realised that there are advantages and disadvantages in each culture and I like the culture
of the eastern because they will still live with their parents and they still value their parents unlike the western
that they do not contact a lot with their parents.
