I have been living in the west including USA for 40 years . Most western general public do not understand logical reasoning, fallacies, causation etc just like elsewhere. Their success is a result of hundreds of years of cultural evolution. It did not happen overnight. Only few of the western countries have been truly successful. Most of them are mediocre. Do not believe the notion that most westerners are capable of writing a well structured thesis with logical reasoning. Collective culture makes some places look better than elsewhere.I think the biggest problem is our unwillingness to adapt and use reason. Western values (not all) are superior to ours because they tend to be based on reasoning. Our greatest asset as a living organism is our unique brain which allows us greater intelligence than any other living thing, but us Pakistanis just refuse to use it.
We also lack a clear vision, discipline and ability to commit.
