Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: In the following I would like to attempt an answer as to whether and how the cultural distance between East and West can be bridged. Rudyard Kipling in his days said 'Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's Great Judgement Seat;' These are the lines which are usually quoted. However, an Indian Maharajah and former Indian Ambassador to Washington D.C., correctly added the following lines, which are 'But there is neither East nor West, Border, not Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, Though they come from the end of the Earth' and he interpreted the two "strong men" as When two strong "minds" meet.

Excerpt from From Occident to Orient and Around the World, or From Grandeurs of the West to Mysteries of the East: Descriptive of United States, Honolulu, Japan, China, Philippine Islands, Cochin China, Siam, Straits Settlements, Island of Java, Burmah, India, Ceylon, Egypt, Europe It is a commendable and peculiar characteristic of human nature, as betrayed in the Western mind: the desire to gain all possible knowledge Of the present-day civilization of the world, as well as of the past of the people - _their vices, their virtues, their customs and their religions, their victories and their defeats. Though millions have crossed the Atlantic to visit the scenes of the Old World, to the average traveler (except in very recent years) the mysteries of Asia have remained untraversed and are practically unknown.
