Differences Between America And China

A country’s economic system decides its education system. Since China and Canada have different economic systems, China is developing on a diversified ownership economy, while Canada is running its economy by pure capitalism. It is obvious two different education systems run in those two countries respectively. And from my personal experience and some hearing from my friends, I found five main disadvantages of China’s education comparing with Canada’s education.

In his article, “Struggle For Smarts? How Eastern And Western Cultures Tackle Learning,” Alix Spiegel presents many interesting points. He links the difference in educational style and success to a much larger cultural difference that separates the two groups. While I may agree with him on some fronts, there are many flaws in his argument. From his presentation of information and evidence to his use of an outdated study, Alix Spiegel leaves many holes in what could be an extraordinarily insightful piece.

with their friends. Both Americans and the Chinese value education and feel that education is

Having a limited to knowledge of their culture, I do know that various aspects of their culture may in fact influence their needs as learners. To be more specific, the goal of the students in Chinese culture is to pass tests. Usually these tests are multiple choice and students must pass these tests in order to move on to university. They are limited in the amount of social activities and independent, creative thinking. They often do not get the opportunity to express themselves or think critically. Because of these various cultural differences, many foreign students often struggle academically

Our major difference between school in Canada and in China is the learning style. In Canada, people more prefer socialization. For example, you have a lot of group works, collaboration block and presentation. However, school of Chinese more prefers competition, such as list grade of exams or gives you different level in a race. In Canada, when

Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.

China and the United States are the two leading global super powers of the 21st century and it is important to know their differences as well as their similarities concerning location, culture, and languages because they are a main part in trade and their cooperation is essential in order to solve world problems. United States is located in North America, China is located in the Asian continent with more Chinese population. These two countries are on opposite sides, the United States also has about half size of Russia, which has area approximately 1.8 times the size of the U.S. while China is nearly to the West with that fact it's obvious that these countries have different temperature. According to Americans people in the funeral, it is

I believe that this individualistic ideal is indeed a consideration in why such a great emphasis is placed on study and academic success both in ancient and modern China. But whilst looking into the topic, I discovered that there was an underlying model of communitarianism with their ethos on study. Chinese people believe that a sound education does not only ensure the future of the individual, but also the future and the development of the family and country on the whole. What this means is the Chinese people believe that that only through study, will China be able to ensure the longevity of its people and nation. The maxim from the Three-Character Scripture (an ancient Chinese writing) states, “if no proper education is given to children, their nature will go bad.” I believe the word “nature” can easily be substituted for the overall health of the future of the nation.

The United States of America and China have a rough relationship, but it is clear to anyone that they are the two biggest superpowers in the world. These two countries have the highest GDP (gross domestic product) out of any other country, and they are both very influential over other countries, making them the two largest powers in the world. Being two major powerhouses, the two countries have many similarities, and after taking a closer look at the geography, people, and history of the two countries, it becomes evident that there are many differences as well. The geography of the United States varies in many ways.

The differences that exist between the Chinese and American education systems are great and obvious. However, some of these differences don’t play to the strengths of the representative country. American schools allow for greater freedom of movement and choice, while Chinese schools decide the “what”, “where”, and “how” of educational circumstance for the students (Bush, tony, and Qiang Haiyan). These differences in structure should lead to a greater educational standard being held by China, but that isn’t always the case. This paper will examine the differences in education system in the two countries and show that the Chinese system, while

With the focus on academics, “More than 90% of all students also graduate from high school and 40% form university or junior college” (“Education In Japan”). The success rate is influenced also by the teachers. The student have one teacher and some might argue that the teacher doesn’t master everything she teaches because “70% of teachers teach all subjects as specialist” (“Education In Japan”), she create student teacher relationship with is the key to the success of many students. The student behave differently because of the cultural influence.

The United States and China aspire to command the world economy, but their lifestyle and standpoints look like east and west. When comparing the U.S. and China in Hofstede 6 dimensions model, there were four main dimensions that are strikingly distinctive. These dimensions include individualism, power distance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Recognizing cultural differences is the first step towards understanding each other. The difference between the United States and China are pronounced, and they merit rigorous examination.

The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable

“As a international students, I care a lot about the difference of education system between the U.S. and China.”(culture shock) I realized that the educational ideas

A few days ago, when we were talking about education in English class, our professor asked me a question: “what do you think the difference is between education in the US and in China?” As the only fortunate person who has experienced education systems in both the US and China, I became the most appropriate one to answer this question; however, I had lost myself in thought. In my memory, my father has always been talking to me about his worries of the conservative and feudal of Chinese education would kill students’ creativity and originality. On the other hand, he was also concerned that students who are experiencing liberal education system would have an unstable fundamental education. From my experience, my father wanted to give me the best education by taking the advantages from both Western and Eastern education. Yet, what is the best? Or what is better? For a while my mind was blank; I sat there numbly with no response until class was over. Nevertheless, the lately news of Chinese international students expelled by the US colleges by playing plagiarism associating with professor’s question, Chinese government should pay more attention to Chinese education and what is causing the problems.
