What makes different between western factors and eastern factors is tradition. Tradition is one of the elements of culture. It talks about the way of life and the principles stays here.
Tradition can not be changed or transfered like culture. It is because it is a characteristic of a nation's. For instance, In madura - indonesia, we will find the tradition which is called "Karavan Sapi". Karapan sapi is a kind of Cow race which is driven by a man. We will not find the same tradition to other countries. Ok now, let's take a sample; say, German tries to adopt the madura's tradition with its karapan sapi. Although german does the same but the essential things in madura will be different of german's. It's not a matter of taste but farther than that.
Tradition has a close relation to nation's daily activity. This colors the way they interact, they respond and the way they decide something. Tradition exists from old to young generation. Young generation can not create the tradition but they are given and only continue what their ancient people did.
For hundreds years ago, tradition was not a culture. It tends a way of life. Karapan sapi was not a game at that time but it represented the holy god that drove a holy animals. It means that in karapan sapi contains a magical or spiritual beliefs. When they did it, they also did prayer to the god to win this life and be the best creatures.
Eastern tradition can not be forced. Although it can be scraped by the western tradition or culture. The omission totally of a tradition is impossible.
