## Original
I recently read an article regarding two types of national mentalities in which countries can be classified: universalism and particularism. Although this kind of simple dualism might mislead you into having inappropriate stereotypes, I don’t think it is bad idea to keep this in mind as far as you regard it as one perspective. The article said people from universalist cultures are prone to stick to the rules, which obviously reminded me of Japanese people. You seldom see people in Japan jaywalk even when there is no traffic. Although they say this is one of the beauties of Japan, I sometimes feel kind of choked because of its sameness, to be honest. In contrast, countries like United States and Russia are classified in particularism. It said those who have this mindset tend to consider rules to be only guidelines. I think people from this trait put emphasis on living their own way.

==質問==
1. consider - to beとconsider - asはニュアンスもしてどのような使い分けでしょうか？

==回答==
1. considerの件ですがニュアンスの違いはありません。文章の構図から今回は、asの方が短く、自然に聞こえるためこちらを選択しています。おそらく前のthey say those who〜が長いため、バランス的にasの方が良くなるのですが、consider to beでも大丈夫です
