In recent years, phenomenon such as globalisation, the influence of media, the growing use of internet has made the East share the many struggles that exist in the West. For Malaysian, you only have to take a look at a local video called 'Sepet' to understand this behaviour." I think it would be only half-true. People like me are more influenced by what you call modernism than others. And I'm sure there are many others like me =) I think Sepet was rather stereotypical in some areas. Or do you think it applies to EVERYONE? Nice of you to post some of your thoughts. Very interesting. “It would not be accurate to say that post modernity does not affect the east.
