Chapter 2: the ideals of speaking in an understated and exact way, of distinguishing fact from opinion and avoiding strong displays of emotion, and of personal autonomy and the importance of not trying to compel anyone to do or believe anything they don't want to - all these are quintessentially Western and even Anglo - not some universally shared value system.

Chapter 1: We shouldn't assume that just because English is used globally, it is "culturally neutral." I.e. English as a banyan tree.
