62. Introspection

From, “Two Peas in a Pod” by Thomas L. Friedman, 11/8/11, The New York Times:

The world’s two biggest democracies, India and the United States, are going through remarkably similar bouts of introspection. Both countries are witnessing grass-roots movements against corruption and excess.

Based on these two sentences, what do you infer the succeeding paragraphs will tell us?

Introspection: an examination of one’s own thoughts and feelings
