Answer to Question 1

Answer: Cultural products such as advertisements illustrate cross-cultural differences in views of the self and others. For example, online ads in Korea are more likely to show groups of people than U.S. online ads. Korean print advertisements emphasize fitting in and tradition.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: American college students in the 2000s scored lower on a measure of perspective taking than students in the 1980s. This suggests that American culture has shifted toward a more individualistic and self-focused mindset and away from a more collectivistic mindset.
