The Subtle Ethics of Cell Phone Culture
Submitted by jrieders on Thu, 10/29/2009 - 5:59pmCell phones have become totally integrated into our daily lives.

Now that the internet is available on our phones some seem to literally have their phones glued to their hands.
The impact of cell phones is seen in our legislation, and even serves as key evidence in political corruption.

Continuation on the Cultural Cognition Theory
In my last paper analyzing Richard E. Nisbett’s theories about Cultural Cognition, I asked if stereotypes of the East and West affect research on this topicwithout elaborating on what these stereotypes are. Furthermore I failed todiscuss why China, Korea, and Japan could be considered a cohesive group, whichI called East Asia, in which members share similar ways of thinking.
