I found it especially important that you put emphasis on the overlapping between cultures and the importance of balance between ideologies, which seems to be the essence of this article. Both individualism and communitarianism can be damaging in their pure form.

Yes. I find that finding the similarities is more important than finding the differences, especially with such a sensitive subject. Some Eastern practices have huge benefits when taken, even in Western contexts, Mindfulness meditation is a good example of this. It's a powerful marker of what can happen when we bring ideologies together to discuss harmony instead of competition.
We should all learn from each other...
I totally agree! At the risk of getting too political, I fear that my country is becoming too isolationist. I don't see this as a sustainable practice. I hope there is more coming together in the future.
