The closing argument

[janwo]

In einem Seminar habe ich 21 Studierende. Für eine Aufgabe sollten sie sich "in Gruppen von 3-4 Studierenden" zusammenfinden. Und hier kommen die kulturellen Unterschiede zu Tage: in einer individualistischen Kultur wie in Deutschland würde man sich in sieben kleinen Gruppen á 3 Studis zusammenfinden, am Minimum. Nicht so im kollektiven Indonesien: da erreicht mich die Frage, ob es auch ok wäre, wenn eine Gruppe aus 5  Leuten bestünde. Es hatten sich ganz selbstverständlich fünf Vierergruppen gebildet und eine Studentin war übrig.

So here I sit — a German in Indonesia, eating my Korean-brand mihun (originally from China), which were made in Thailand, with Japanese chopsticks out of a French ceramic bowl. ....

The idea of good and evil has nothing to do with religion or a mystic conscience. It is a natural need of animal races. And when founders of religions, philosophers, and moralists tell us of divine or metaphysical entities, they are only recasting what each ant, each sparrow practices in its little society. Is this useful to society? Then it is good. Is this hurtful? Then it is bad.
