There doesn't seem to be a suitable Forum for this thread, this was the closest.
We are sitting here behind western cultural viewfinders, postulating on the behaviour of these rural Chinese people. It strikes me as strange that we should do anything more than percieve their behaviour, as opposed to the judging that goes on on the board.
Unless we have experienced or have deep insight into another's subjective reality, how can we judge how they behave? Does anyone else think that the societal pressures or culture back in Nth Central China largely explains the way that the Shaolin behave on arrival in West?
