These different icons provide us an idea for the differences between east and west countries. The icons show the behavior of eastern and western people . despite this fact some of these pictures does not show the reality . actually I’m part of eastern culture and I know their features that why I’m saying that some of these pictures doesn’t fit to the eastern people altitude. I plan to comment three of these pictures and to show what Is true and what not.
Firstly the pictures shows that east and west people differ in the way they say their opinions. Western people if they have to sow an opinion or something else they go straight to that, saying it without any problem or thinking a lot about what they are going to say . contrary eastern people if they are going to express an opinion they are going to think a lot before they are going to say it. Also in their mind they will have like a circle for that opinion and they are going to say it in the way that the other person in front of them is not affected directly by their words. In my opinion these picture is real because eastern people always are afraid to say their opinion because they are more humanity and for them to brake the heart of the people is hard .this is the reason why they don’t say straight their opinion. But western people don’t care they are more selfish because they way of live is individual without o lot of friends.
Another picture shows that western people are more punctual then eastern people . for eastern people it says that they might be early or late . this is not true from my point of view because I know a lot of western people who are punctual and they are not late. I think that punctuality it depends from the person and from his character . because some people are used to take life as easy and some not, they work hard to achieve good results.
Thirdly another picture shows the way how they handle their problems. From the picture we can understand that if Eastern people encounter something that goes wrong they are not going straight to solve it . but they are going around it . Contrary western people choose to go straight to solve their problems . in my opinion this fact also depend from the person because I’m from east and I choose to go straight to solve the problems . the reason why I think that this picture is not true is because this differences might have exist in the past but if we talk today it is different. Today the world is more difficult and you have to be more direful and you have to go straight to everything if you want to be successful and to earn money. If you do not do this you will be every time the second and not the first.
The reason why I choose to comment these three pictures is that I have found them to express the three important features of o person. also from these picture I have had the chance to say which of them is correctly feature of east or west people. From my point of view differences exist in the past from a lot of reasons such as political, geographical , cultural .But today life is different because people have the chance to travel outside their country and to expend their knowledge and to adapt with new things.

Don't forget to put a title to your post. Otherwise, we cannot see your title in the list.

You are right to point out that the pictures didn't show the reality or truth of eastern people. That's exactly what I want you to do to Begley's article. Write all your agreement or disagreement to her opinions and her experiments. We don't need to care too much who is the author, and on which the article is published, always hold an attitude of critical thinking and tell what is more objective, logical, scientific, than the others and why.

Good job, but a lot of language problems.
