You've got me wondering now Alan. Do you believe that all Javanese share the same world view? What about Westerners, or even to be more specific, how about Americans? Do you believe that my own personal world view is more likely to be closer to your own or what you might perceive as a Javanese world view? Or perhaps that my own world view is closer to whatever you believe to be the generic American world view? If you could answer these questions what evidence would you base these assumption on?
