A recent article in the Global Times, a Chinese newspaper, looks at the differences between Western and Eastern values. The article focuses on Charlie Sheen and the public nature of his recent antics. It goes on to explain that Eastern society would never allow such a spectacle to occur because family, coworkers, or the authorities would step in before things escalated. It then talks about Charlie and his relationship with his father, Martin Sheen.
“He ignored his own father’s advice to keep quiet, who was once the president of the US. Sheen is a disgrace, unfilial to his father and his fatherland.”
Say what?
