Cultural Differences Between China And US

Cultural differences are apparent from one group of people to another. Culture is based on many things that are passed on from one generation to the next. Most of the time people take for granted their language, beliefs, and values. When it comes the cultural differences of people there is no right or wrong. People should be aware of others culture and respect the differences that are between them. The United States and China are two very large countries that have cultures that are well known through out the world. There are many differences between the United States and China, but there are many contributing factors that shape the cultures of these two countries.

In my view, I contributed a lot to the process and the outcome of the project. I searched for tons of information about cultural differences between Canada and China on the Internet and conducted surveys of differences of clothing and foods in the Masonville Mall and some local restaurants. Also, I divided cultural differences into five categories, which are clothing, food, housing, transportation and daily Canadian customs. In the whole process, I made great efforts to collect information as much as possible so that various information can be included in our app designing. What I did in the process laid the groundwork for the outcome. Meanwhile, I came up with designing an app in the end of our project and devoted myself to design the layout of our app as well as the content, which is conducive to show our project more clearly.

Economy is the main element of every country.It is like a heart for country.It holds the status of a nation.It is mainly the consumption and production of goods and services available in country.It keeps on changing with time.Many country goes under debt with economic change whereas some become the most powerful nation in world.Mostly, China , America and Europe suffers a lot in economic change. My main concern is about the economic development in China and United States of America. These countries have lots of similarities and difference in many aspects.They are at the top of the list in power and wealth as compared to other countries.

In the world today there’s a wide variety of styles of government. Some forms are obtained through brute force and the ill will of dictators. Some are formed from the election of the citizens of a particular nation, for example the United States. The main form of Government that the U.S. takes is representative democracy. This allows the citizens to be represented by a smaller group, which in turn greatly reduces complications when deciding things like voting processes. The other afore mentioned government would be authoritarian government. This would include dictatorships, communism, fascism, and many more. This form allows the government to be in almost or total control of all national process and procedures. Although the two government selections seem very contradictory, they do have some similarities.

When people walk around the land of American, it is easy find a group people who look like Asian, however, they can not speak another language expect English and also they do not understand another culture. With the developing of globalization, lots of people move from the motherland to other countries to seek their new life. With this increasing trend, there is a new population, they have different characteristics with the original country's. According to “pair of tickets”, the author Amy Tan uses the personal experience to reveal difference of two culture, which shows on language expression, Ethnic identity and development of relationship.

Cities, towns, and, more generally, places, are living organisms. Similar to those living within and outside it, a city interacts with other living beings, creating change and taking change. The symbiosis between the places and those within the place can be mutualistic or parasitic, beneficial to both or harmful to one.

wards time vary a great deal person to person, and cultural differences with regards to time serve only as a touch point of consideration when dealing with patients/families (Li, 2008).

Comparison of American and Chinese educational systems is important because the education students receive plays a big role in the way they act in society as adults. In some ways, the educational systems reflect the society’s direction as a whole. The United States, operating under a democratic government that values free speech, follows an educational system that encourages students to express their opinions freely. China, operating under an autocratic government, places more emphasis on obedience and respect. As China’s rapid development and prominence in today’s economy shows, the Chinese educational system has produced many high-achieving, industrious individuals. However, some worry that China will be at a disadvantage if Chinese students

Societies in general, whether it is in traditional china or modern america, all have an order. Other countries, such as america, do not have prominent “ways of life” or “rights and wrongs”. Instead, there is a vague hint at what beauty and other “good” things are. America is a melting pot; there are so many cultures and religions that dictate certain “ways of life.” We subconsciously mix them together to form personal values. But, nonetheless, there is still an order. In every single country, there is a certain type of person that society wants everyone to be. China has a culture (along with other attributes) that is prominent and followed throughout the country, while America’s isn’t as finite and nationally practiced. You cannot generalize

One of the most important actions that President Obama had done before he left office was the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement signified the new era of the world, one in which we had to address the problems before we can actually do something. Reducing carbon emissions have been at the focal point of pollution efforts/discussions. For the agreement to go into effect, 55 countries representing 55 % of the global emissions had to formally join. In September, the U.S. and China, countries that represent 40 percent of emissions, officially joined(citation). When you realize that China and the U.S. alone account for 40% of the emissions, that has to mean something more to people. Think about this, China has a population of about 1.35 billion people and the U.S. has a population of about 316.5 million; we are approx. 23% of China’s population, yet we account for approx. the same amount of emissions. If we take a look at the differences between pollution in China and the U.S. and take into account the number of people affected as a percentage of the total population, we can see that there are some major differences. This chart shows the top 10 polluted cities in the U.S versus the top 10 cities in China:

Another difference between the United States and China are the traditions and customs. On the contrary, to the United States where most Americans rarely know where the majority of their ancestors are laid to rest, The Chinese are very attached to their ancestors. Families go once a year to visit the gravesites of each ancestor and pay their respects. In addition, greetings of Chinese hardly differ from Americans’. Unlike Americans for whom a hello or how are you are the greeting of choice, Chinese bow, folding their hands on the chest to show respect. Another common tradition is giving presents. In general, Americans offer presents for birthdays or a major event like Christmas, but Chinese usually give presents such as wine or candy when they

I stand between two worlds: the American and the Chinese culture, one which I was born into, the other I was raised into. The two doctrines drag at me constantly with a noose around my neck constantly warning me of accepting the other doctrine. Throughout my life, my family functioned on a basic norm: to not trust others and to value only the worth of my family, yet within the American institution, I learned to function upon the doctrines of cooperation and individualism. My life was thus a constant balance and strife as my parents saw in me undesirable traits that would, in the Chinese culture, rendered me empty-minded, without a thought of my own, or blatantly, an easily deceived idiot. Through the lens of my family, I viewed the world through

Greed, power, superiority, global leader, bully, these are a few terms that may come to mind when other countries think of the United States. Many countries of the world tend to dislike the U.S and our way of life and the way we think. We stand for freedoms many other countries do not offer their citizens. The U.S is a country for the people, by the people, we support freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Our democracy is looked down upon by other Countries such as, North Korea, Japan, China, etc. countries that have a dictator. Even though China has a people democracy, it also has a dictatorship style backing the democracy up. We put the power in the hands of the people, not in the hands of a single man. The people of China have the freedom to think for themselves as long as their decisions fall within certain guidelines.

In a world as overwhelming with differences, individuals are molded by many factors, and culture is one that follows up on each person. Diverse societies instruct different values, and what may be well mannered in the U.S. could exceptionally offend in China. As people from different cultural groups, individuals can misjudge each other; therefore, the U.S. and China can learn to collaborate across cultural lines as individuals and as a society. Becoming aware of cultural differences can enable both countries to deal with each other more

This year is my forth year that I has been studying in the United State. I’m already used to the U.S. culture and the U.S. living style. So in general, I didn’t experience any culture shock after I got here. If I had any culture shock, it’s probably three years ago. I couldn’t remember any of them. However I do have some thoughts about the differences between the U.S. and China after four years of studying in the United States.
