So I'm on my summer vacation, and during which I have to write my EE as well as do my Math investigation :P ;;
anyways, my topic will look into the cultural aspects of western and eastern cultures
So my essay topic will be around something like, the "the different mindsets that exist in Eastern and Western cultures"?
seems vague... doesn't it...?

VERY.
First, what subject is this?
What ASPECT of culture? (food, clothes, sex? :P )
What exactly is 'Eastern' and what exactly is 'Western'? East of what and West of what?
Mindsets of who? Men? Women? Sheep?

Et cetera.

So I'm still lost with writing this essay topic, but i tried to rework?
So my subject is psychology and the topic is...
"To what extent do individualistic and collectivistic mindsets(way of thinking) in Eastern and Western cultures come into conflict in societies(urban VS. rural, not technically cities VS. countryside) within the cultural perspective?"
please continue to advice me, im so lost with this essay as I have lost contact with my supervisor( such as his email is no longer functional :) ; :)

I think it's still too broad. I think you need specific countries/cultures instead of just the vague 'Western' and 'Eastern' and then you'll need a specific aspect of society as well.

But for Psych don't you have to do an experiment or something?
