You cant understand it when people overly exaggerate generalizations of the "west"? Try living with lots of westerners who assume "eastern" culture just from staying over there a month or so. Additionally, westerners are all alike in some way too, dont try flattering your own culture. Really Erdogan? You cant understand it when people overly exaggerate generalizations of the “west”?

Take Italy, most provinces of France, Spain, Greece, all Balkan countries, South America as a whole, most parts of USA, etc and all fit in your description of the east.

The “Little Emperor Syndrome” is more of an extreme case of the entire family raising a child.

It's saying that in the West the child is just a part of the family, but in the East, the whole family revolves around the children. This is especially noted in China where there is only one child who often ends up spoiled.
