people highly value individualism—the differences among people—and independent thinking Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special The educational systems in these countries show these values Students not often memorize information Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves, and they express their ideas in class discussion At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions B In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects society's belief in group goals and traditions rather than individualism Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal The teacher lectures, and the students listen There is not much discussion Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized C The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves They learn to take the initiative—to make a decision and take action without someone telling them what to The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas There is, however, a drawback, a disadvantage When students graduate from high school, they haven't studied as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have 31 According to the passage, the educational system in a Western society such as the United States or Canada
