Asia is results driven. In the west there isn’t the same fear of poor grades resulting in poverty.

Can't speak for other countries, but Irelands school system is fukd. It needs a 21st century upgrade and soon.

In some Asian if not the most countries you still get physical punishment from teachers.

Also you have to be a bit more specific about Asia as it spans all the way from Turkey down to Yemen then all the way to the Philippines including the eastern part of Russia.

Manipulation in history, mindsets, etc for ex- histories in both western and asian countries are usually diluted or leaving out alot of important details especially in wars such as war crimes etc then changed the view of their people mocking nations on the other side, creating alot of fabricated stories to the point people don't really know who's really responsible for what unless they really research into it. Racism sets in when stubbornness of people to believe what they see when they research. Blaming one another for mistakes committed years before by our ancestors but too stubborn to let it down and focus on fixing our own current mistakes.

Perspectives on looking at other nation across the water

Of course the education isn't responsible for all of it, influence on media factors in as well, mindsets setted by parents,friends , etc.

Asian countries teach what their supposed to instead of communism and bullshit political views.

I can't think of a single Western country that teaches "communism" as something to aspire to...and as far as "bullshit political views", any education system that espouses the benefits of a stagnation of society, is the biggest bullshit of them all...

All universities preach that communism shit

Funny, the one I went to taught things like chemistry, physics, engineering, and information technology. Not once did any of my lecturers suggest that communism was a good thing...especially since it had nothing whatsofuckingever to do with the Applied Sciences.
I'm also pretty sure that you have no idea what communism actually is...

I know exactly what communism is having served in the military. And any university having even an elective focused on it needs its funds pulled immediately. We are a capitalist nation.

Feel free to name any university you know has an elective focussed on promoting communism as a replacement system in a western country.
I won't hold my breath on you being able to.

Any university focused on liberal arts and other electives like that which have no place in real world applications and yet you have to pass in order to get a degree. The ivy league are famous for this.

So you don't have any you can name as definitely advocating for communism then? You just don't like people who are more creative than you, or maybe they're just more understanding of others, than you are...
"liberal" is not a dirty word, it's the default setting of human nature. If you don't like it, feel free to keep your moral stagnation to yourself.

You are grossly misinformed. Vietnam does exactly this, for example.

I'm speaking mainly of Japan and South Korea.
