They have to work harder at school because they're competing with a higher density of kids. Students in Asia are under intense pressure to perform at school because lack of success often means a life of misery.
By comparison other races / cultures don't really have the same pressure.
- johncoltrane 1y agoWe actually have the same pressure, but we have built ourselves a world where dealing with it has become somewhat optional. Why bust your ass when you know that you will be given a second/third/fourth/tenth/etc. chance anyway? No wonder so many things are starting to fall apart around here.
- hcnova10 1y agoYes, Western societies have created economic and cultural systems that absorb the consequences of failure so well that individual pressure to succeed are no longer matters of survival.
