It is an aspect that can only be achieved by the particular system or being transcending from itself to experience something from the third person perspective.

Comparing myself with my fellow friends, I can consider myself to be lucky enough to be able to travel to almost every prominent country and city such as Paris, Japan, Singapore and so forth. Most of them are for accompanying my father doing his business. Importantly, I learned that regardless how countries are well developed, they differ from each other when it comes to cultural context.
