Like it or not, we all live on a planet teeming with variety. East and West for example have developed very differently, even though many of the problems faced by these divergent cultures are similar. True, Europe's colonising yoke in the past four hundred years introduced western infrastructure to many eastern countries, particularly in the fields of administration, communication, health, and education. However, traditional habits run deep, particularly in countries with large rural populations, and the apparent degree of westernisation can be deceptive.
