This article's main idea is that most people do not realize it, but many Americans think and perceive things things differently compared to the rest of the world. 

Many specific examples are given in this article to prove this point. The fact that the English language has different words for green and blue, whereas people who speak Turkese have only one word and one meaning for green and blue, araw. From these examples and a case study that this article shows, the author concludes that action and getting things done is more the style of American thinking. Operational procedures are what Americans focus on rather than perceptions of the situation. 

I agree with this article. I have never really thought about this particular subject though. It makes sense, however, because the American culture is very different than some other cultures around the world so obviously our thinking will be somewhat different.
