Answer 1

The correct answer is: "b. western cultures uphold the important quality of mindfulness while the other focuses on cooperativeness."

Individuals in western cultures tend to consider intelligence as a way to consciously design or create categories (mindfulness) and enter a debate regarding these. On the other hand, people in Asia see intelligence as a way to identify complexity and to understand that the role they occupy in society. This includes the capacity of understanding and relating to others as a form of cooperation.

Answer 2

The answer is A) Western cultures emphasize cognitive skills while asian cultures stress on humility.

The basis of asian cultures is to be willing to grow. To know that there's always room for improvement. The most outstanding example is that if one is not born with a specific skill Asian cultures encourage the individuals to practice until they acquire said skill whereas Western culture encourages indivuals to find their innate skill and exploit it instead of acquiring the one they desire.
