Religious/Spiritual

Western Philosophy deals with Individualism while Eastern Philosophy is related to Collectivism. Both philosophies center on virtues. 

Eastern philosophy takes more of a spiritual approach while Western philosophy is more hands-on. Eastern cultures emphasize relationship interdependence, hierarchy and status, whereas Western cultures emphasize individual uniqueness and equality. 


Western societies tend to promote equality, egalitarianism, and a flatter social structure. In contrast, Eastern cultures often have a stronger emphasis on hierarchy, respect for authority, and a more pronounced power distance between different social classes or generations. 


The Westerners are more open and blunt. For example, topics like sex or birth of a child are openly discussed in Western culture, whereas in the East, these topics are still taboo. People from the West are more open to expressing their feelings. If they are angry, they vent it out.
