Example One
Lihua made a pen friend with an American. He usually gets annoyed because the friend always mentioned his problems at the very beginning , and put polite greetings afterwards.To keep psychological balance,he has to read those American letters from the back.On the contrary,the American usually gets confused when he firstly read Lihua's letters,because there are always small talks before he finally mentions his key points.The American also read his Chinese friend's letters from the back.

Identity means that the essence of things will not change, one thing always remains the same. Non-contradiction believes that it is impossible for a statement to be right and wrong at the same time. Anti-neutralism lays stress on the correctness of an issue,which tells people that a matter can be just true or false,and there is no version as neutrality.

Advertisements of different thinking ways
• 中国的思维具有阴柔(feminine)偏向,含有艺术家的素质, 力求图善，重伦理道德(Ethics)、安邦治国,是“大一统” 思想,热衷于对天地人作比附,以解释政治、社会、伦理、 人生的种种问题，思维带有模糊性 • 中国思维方式的广告多属于“高语境”(high register) 语言,不把每一点都明白无误地讲出来,许多意思包含在 语境之中。引人深思、发人联想。 • 如： • 饭店——食全食美,食新食异 • 海鲜城——汇四海品味,聚五洲宾友 • 四通电脑——与你携手共创未来
Logical thinking or analytical thinking is usually used to describe the Western,especially Euramericans(欧美 人）.

The Western way of thinking is also called analyzing thinking, they don't like make compromise and be harmonious when considering problems , but prefer to separate things from a whole, logically analyze the characteristics of the essence of things.

Example Two
An American psychologist has done an experiment recently. The experimenter let the Chinese and the American watch an underwater videography respectively,and when they finished, they should tell the experimenter whatst found that the American put their eyes directly to the brightest and the fastest moving objects such as the three salmons. As for the Chinese, they tend to say that they had seen a river, the blue water,rocks in the river,and finally they mentioned there was fish.Generally speaking,Chinese found twice times of information of the Americans.
东方人好曲线,西方人好直线。西方人直线思维,喜欢 开门见山;中国人曲线思维,习惯迂回。 西方重解析,东方看整体。东方文化体系的思维模式是 综合的,而西方则是分析的。 东方人偏模糊,西方人偏精确。比起西方人来,东方人 的思维方式更有整体性,东方人会本能地更注重来龙去 脉。与东方人相比,西方人似乎更善于集中注意力,也 更具有分析性。

Conclusion
Personally speaking,although there are differences between the two kinds of thinking modes,we cannot say which one is better.They both have their own unique feature.We should know the advantages of the both,and try to attain the good sides .As for each individual,one thousand readers,there are one thousand Hamlet.Everyone's mindset is unique.Yet, we should try best to avoid the weakness of our own thinking,thinking out of box, and learning from others' strong points. 2014-1-8
