Does the language one speaks affect the way they think?

It can. But it is more the culture of the language that shapes the thought process. It is an intriguing thought, but a Spanish man, a Japanese man, and an American man could all be watching the same thing and thinking the same thoughts, but may be thinking these individual thoughts in their own language. Same thoughts, different words. Confusing? It is a mind teaser.
