Non-Veg a shift in world view

What do I mean? I recently was at dinner party where the people eating were all from India(except me) and there was a heated discussion with religous undertones regarding if being vegitarian or non-vegitarian was best. Usually "we" speak of vegitarians as the alternative, to these people non-veg was the alternative life choice and even more, an edgy choice. Everything is relative...I am trying to look at life these days with a veg / non-veg perpective. Carring that threat further through this dense fabric that is my brain...I have been considering something else....I heard a paper be presented that was looking at scholarly writing and asking the question...why is the linear, direct, consice way of writing the most correct? Culture, Educational practice impact scholarlly writing of those outside North America, why not change our concepts and embrace the other??? Saying that scholarly writing in English should be influnced by it's writer whose culture frames their writing is revolutionary....very non-veg. I now want to look at some of these issues while doing some reading courses for my Masters...here is hoping my steam dosen't run out and that I hold on to my new non-veg world!
