Chinese New Year Vs America

They wouldn’t get to eat as much food. They wouldn’t be enjoying their precious time with their family. Instead they would be working hard in the fields to earn a sufficient living wage. But Chinese New Year was a time when they felt they were on top. They thought that they were living the high life. They “all looked forward to, the one time when we would be guaranteed wonderful food, was the Chinese New Year.” It was one joyous occasion that helped them to endure their destitute lives.

When it is comes down to dealing with any varieties of crime it’s a challenging issue in every country. No matter where one may be there will always be certain rules and regulations everyone must follow. Different nations deal with crime in many different ways based on their beliefs, policies, principals, and culture perspectives. Cross-cultural studies allow a common view of the variations, elements, and aspects of the justice systems. This paper examines the comparison of the justice system in China and the United States. Exploring the ideas and views, which include the confidence in police, informal and formal crime control, and views on capital punishment.

Since 1899, America has maintained an open door policy with China. Throughout the years, relations between the United States and China have changed with several effects on both countries caused by the open door policy.

First, Chinese Americans preserve their ethnic identities through holidays. One of the biggest holidays is the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is different from the regular New Years in that it relies on the moon cycles instead of the western calendar, so it falls on different days each year. There is a lot of preparation that goes into the Chinese New Year. People start cleaning their houses and decorating them with spring couplets on the twentieth day of the twelfth moon. Spring couplets are short poems written on red scrolls of paper in black. A popular New Years tradition in the United States is the exchanging of red envelopes containing money, which are called hong-bao. Most families spend this holiday celebrating together because this holiday, above others, emphasizes family and family ties.

The Chinese Six Companies were six companies across the United States which played a major role in the Chinese prostitution and was a key organization for Chinese Americans in 1800s. They original main goal was to help the Chinese come from and return to China, help many corpses shipped them to China for burial and take care of the starving and elder. The Chinese Six Companies also attempted to discourage prostitution in the Chinese community and attempted to limit prostitution in America. Even though their main goal was to help out the Chinese, during the 1880s their outlook complete changed. These Chinese Six Companies saw the benefits of prostitution which they force encouraging and overseeing all the vices associated with the Chinese-American

There are many important traditions that were kept until this day. From generations to generations, the Lunar New Year was kept the same and we did not change anything about it or how we celebrate it. But the Lunar New Year, it is not only celebrated in the Vietnamese culture. It is also celebrated in many other Asian cultures, such as Korea and China. Korea celebrates their New Year on the same day as the American New Year is celebrated. I can tell that the most well known and popular holidays in the Viet culture is the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese culture called Lunar New Year as Têt. “In the Vietnamese old cultural beliefs, families believe that their activities during Têt must involve happiness, joy, and good luck.” Many families would have to prepare themselves ahead of time. Others would tell their children to behave on the day or week to avoid bad luck for the whole entire year. Vietnamese family take this old beliefs very seriously because it helped and motivated us that we have good lucks by our side throughout the year. That is why even before the beginning of Têt, families must prepare by cleaning and even painting their home in anticipation of spring, settle old debts and disputes, and pledge to behave nicely and work hard in the New Year. People also traditionally buy new clothes to usher in the New Year. Family goes visit our ancestors, like going to temple to pray or grave. The night before the New Year, families perform a ritual where incense sticks are burned, inviting the spirits of their ancestors to join them in celebration. “This is also a time to bid farewell to the family's Kitchen God (Ong Tao), who then returns to heaven to report on the family's behavior in the past year to the Jade Emperor.” This old belief will continues to spread throughout the country to new generations and will never be forgotten. During a Korean New Year, family comes together to celebrate. Family does

Asia is such a large continent that being Asian already means you are part of a culturally diverse community. As an Asian American, you are mix of two cultures. We celebrate the lunar new year with huge family gatherings, gift exchanging, and food. Lots of food. Whether it be dumplings, kimchi, mattar paneer, mee goreng, or pho, our native cuisine will always make it to the dinner table. During the lunar new year, my family always prepares a huge hot pot, stuffed with shiitake and enokitake mushrooms, vegan fish balls, tofu, carrots, cabbage, ramen, bean sprouts, beancurd, and many other delicious foods. My grandparents hand us red envelopes and we bow to them to show our respect.

Festivals in China have a long history, consequently, it has a significant effect on Chinese people, most stories is created during 300AD-900AD. Festival helps Chinese become together and make Chinese trust on a religion. There are many festivals in China, for example, the Spring Festival, Lantern festival, Valentine's Day. They all have a strong background story that influence Chinese, moreover, theirs holidays in those Festivals, and the characters and the stories behind the festival is very significant in the about the whole China knows about it. “Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival in China, is China's remarkably important traditional festival. It is also the most necessary celebration for families, and a week of official public holiday.”(Tang, Cindy)I agree to this statement, first of all, Spring Festival have the longest official public holiday in 2017, it shows how important to Chinese. To make clear, Chinese New Year is not in January 1st, Chinese New Year in 2017 is on January 28th. Chinese New Year is important to Chinese shows in many ways, one of it is the stories behind the Spring Festival, there are many kinds of stories, the one I know is about a monster called ‘Nian’ they attack Chinese every in the Spring Festival, accordingly, Chinese people find out a way to expel ‘Nian’, ‘Nian’ is scared of

The third measurement was interesting masculinity, this one was almost even. China ranked somewhat higher at 66 points in comparison to the United States at 62 points. Having two of the largest countries trying to be the best can be challenging. Both countries want to be successful, I have never witnessed such little diversity in my life as China, during our visit most people found us to be clearly out of towners to the point that they wanted to take pictures with us all of the time. China has an upper hand when it comes to manufacturing since China’s labor is much cheaper than that of United States, this explains why Chinese’s people will typically have a much longer work day.

One major difference is the time that both holidays are celebrated at. The American New Year is always celebrated on December 31st and January 1st. whereas the Jewish New Year always falls on the same day if going by the Jewish lunar calendar but it will fall on different days in the Gregorian calendar that the whole world uses. In terms of the actual celebrations of each New Year, these holidays could not be any more different from one another. The American New Year is a time of partying, drinking, hanging out with friends, eating food, and just having a good time.

Culture is the specifications and information about a specific group of people, distinct by everything from religion, language, cuisine, life lifestyle and more. Today, we are living in the world that have thousands of cultures, that we have less information about that. China and the United States are the two large countries in the world that they both have cultures which are good recognized through away the world. There are many differences between China and the United States, however, there are many causal factors that form the culture of these two countries.

New Years is an exciting holiday in many countries. It marks a new period of time with the pure and pristine beginning for individuals. Every country has a unique cultural celebration and specific traditions depending on where you live. However, there is a big difference between how Asian people and Western people celebrate New Year. The three most noticeable differences are in the preparation, travel and length of the holiday will be last.

Looking back at ancient civilization, fireworks, elaborate performances, or decorations had not been invented or developed.
