Week 9 - Can I synthesize East & West?

In a way, I believe I've been synthesizing Eastern & Western beliefs since the age of 12 when my family moved from South Korea to United States. Although I didn't fully start to integrate and synthesize until my college undergrad years when I spent a lot of time and energy consciously evaluating my thoughts and values in order to both understand and harmonize them.

I do believe that synthesizing Eastern & Western beliefs is just one aspect of how all of us need to synthesize different values in all parts of our lives - be it family values with personal values, societal versus individual and any other conflicting values.
