The main goal of the science of psychology is to discover and
             generate knowledge about people and their behavior. Studying the
             cultural aspect of the science adds yet another piece to the puzzle of
             psychology. By definition, cultural psychology includes cultural similarities
             and differences in behavior with its main theories. The research pertaining
             to the study of crossing cultures in a psychological aspect is done by
             examining the behaviors, beliefs and reactions of people from different
             cultural backgrounds. To simplify the study of cultural psychology, cultures
             have been initially divided into two types. The types included are
             collectivistic cultures and individualistic cultures and the two are
             seemingly at opposite ends of the spectrum of psychology. However,
             there are also etics, that is aspects that are universal across cultures,
             present in the comparison of the two types of cultures. Aspects that
             differ from one culture to another are known as emics, and a major goal
             of scientists engaged in the study of cultures is to determine which aspects
             of human behavior should be classified as etics and which as emics.
             Here, I'd like to explore an overview of some of both.
             People who belong to individualistic cultures, such as the Unites
             States, see themselves as individuals, separate from the societal group.
             Highly individualistic cultures encourage people to take care of
             themselves and make life decisions based on their individual needs.
             Individualists tend to give priority to one's own goals and define their
             identities in terms of personal attributes. Because of this, they generally
             possess what is known as an independent construal of self, which simply
             defines what I have already stated; the individuals focus on internal and
             personal attributions. This explains the fact that individualists are more
             likely to prejudge people based on the obvious personal a...
