Thinking

What two things should be grouped together? A panda, a monkey, and a banana.

I was reading my sociology textbook and this was one of the side reads in it. American students grouped the panda and monkey together, while Japanese students grouped the monkey and banana together. The reasoning is the Americans tend to think in categories (ie animals, fruits, plants...), and the Japanese students think in more along relationships amongst things (the monkey eats the banana).
I grouped monkey and banana together. Apparently, I think Asian.
I knew I was Asian somewhere!
