Culturally, the term is usually associated with a tradition that traces its origins to ancient India n and East Asian thought and religions like Buddhism , Confucianism , Hinduism , Jainism and Taoism . Cornerstones in this tradition are beliefs in spiritual, Karmic , or ancestral forces. Eastern culture is said to be Dao ist in its integration of apparent opposites, as signified by the Yin and Yang . Eastern culture is sometimes contrasted with Western Culture which is accused of being likely to engage in False Dichotomies . (Interestingly, a critique of Western thinking styles using this line of argument is itself subject to accusations of Western-style false dichotomy, since it divides the world into two parts and poses them against one another.)
