Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space aperson needs around him is a cultural difference,not an economic one. Knowing your ownpsychological 心理的 space needs is important because they strongly affect yourchoices,including,for example,the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in atwo-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms,the chancesare,if you have two children or more,that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. InAmerica,for example,they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them theirown rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world.
