Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: In the following I would like to attempt an answer as to whether and how the cultural distance between East and West can be bridged. Rudyard Kipling in his days said'Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meetTill Earth and Sky stand presently at God's Great Judgement Seat;'These are the lines which are usually quoted.
