Americans are more equal, straightforward, grateful and praise others; China people, on the other hand, pay attention to seniority, are orderly and reserved, lack awe and gratitude, and seldom praise others.

For example, Americans can say "I love you" between any family member or between relatives and good friends, every day and as soon as they meet! People in China seldom say such disgusting things. Americans have something to say, and they often hear people say, "You are so energetic!" Or "What a beautiful skirt you have!" People in China seldom praise others like this. Maybe they think it's "ulterior motives".

China people also have a greeting: "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "Long time no see, what have you been doing?" "You ate!" "You are getting fat again!" The polite way to say it is "you have gained weight again!" " "Where did you get rich?" "I heard that you got a promotion again, congratulations! Congratulations! " There are always awkward things that are unclear, or "there is something in the words", or it is difficult to answer.

For another example, Americans have a clear distinction between public places and private places. In public places, generally keep quiet, don't talk loudly, let alone talk loudly, so as not to affect others. If someone coughs in public, he will say, "Excuse me!" If someone sneezes, he will say, "I'm sorry!" "The people next to you will say," Bless you! "

There are also different ways to express intimacy. In the past, the younger generation in China had to kowtow and bow to the elderly, indicating that they should keep a "distance" when they were close; Americans shake hands, kiss and hug. There are many religious people in America. For example, Christians should pray before eating and thank the Lord for giving them food and work, and thank the Lord for giving them a smooth day at dinner.

1, China is a meal, and everyone can eat whatever they want at a table; America is divided into meals. Everyone orders their own food and generally doesn't share it with others.

2. When eating, China people like to help others, or make big concessions for fear that others will not eat well; Americans, on the other hand, eat their own food and generally don't give it to others. At most, I recommend the food on my plate to my friends.

3. China likes to drink hard liquor when eating, no matter whether he eats or drinks, he has all kinds of food and wine; Americans don't drink alcohol with meals, but only before or after meals.

4. China people like to take noodles and rice as their staple food; Americans are mostly meat-based.

Nationalism of China Culture and Diversification of American Culture

The Han nationality in China accounts for more than 90% of the total population, and the other 56 ethnic minorities are basically similar to the Han nationality in color and race, so China can be said to be a country with a single race and a single culture. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism constitute the main body of China culture, especially Confucianism has a leading influence on China people's thoughts and behaviors. China culture has a strong national character.

The United States is an immigrant country with an extremely complex population. Talents from all over the world gather here, and various cultures complement each other, forming a melting pot of national cultures. Therefore, American culture has the characteristics of diversification and strong flavor of the times, which changes with the times.

China's Cultural Politics and American Cultural Economy

As a unified country, China has a history of more than two thousand years. For more than two thousand years, it is not an easy task to rule such a large country with a vast territory and a large population. If the rule is unbalanced, it means that the country is divided, the vassal disputes and wars are endless. Therefore, since ancient times, stability and unity have been two major events in the history of China. Politics is the commander-in-chief, and centralization and unity are the soul. As a system in China's ancient superstructure, Confucian culture is the source of cultural differences between China and the United States, and forms a complementary trend with the political power in the superstructure. Confucian culture contains a lot of humanistic thoughts about educating rulers to be benevolent and educating people to abide by ethical education. In ancient China, agriculture was always regarded as more important than commerce, and the cultural differences between China and the United States were also regarded as more important than commerce. The imperial examination system closely links culture and politics, and culture is highly political. Looking at social relations, the relationship between people also has a strong political color.

The United States is a country with a highly developed commodity economy and a strong cultural economy. Science, technology, economic management and other cultures suitable for economic construction occupy a high position. Developed commercial culture such as Hollywood movies, Disneyland and McDonald's fast food. It has attracted the attention of the whole world. The relationship between people in the United States also has a strong economic color, and the accounts of brothers are clear.

What are the differences between Chinese and American education?

Some people say that education in China attaches importance to the consolidation of basic knowledge, while education in the United States attaches importance to the cultivation of creativity; China's education pays attention to the instillation and mastery of knowledge, and attaches importance to "essence" and "depth", while American education pays attention to the flexible use of knowledge, and attaches importance to "breadth" and "width".

Taking mathematics as an example, China education adopts the tactics of asking questions about the sea, and teachers let students practice repeatedly until they are "perfect"; Mathematics education in American schools is basically "peer-to-peer". Teachers generally don't ask students to finish the exercises in textbooks, and often only ask students to do odd or even questions. The basic education in China is to train students to master skills skillfully, while the education in the United States only makes people understand what is going on. As for whether students want to take mathematical engineering as a career in the future, it is up to them to choose. There is no need for school education to force students to practice those skills.

Therefore, education in China is an "elite" education, eliminating those who can't learn advanced knowledge. American education is a combination of popular and elite education, allowing students to choose whether to be civilians or "elites". Those who choose to take the "elite" road need to work hard; Those who choose to take the road of civilians receive universal education and receive the education of basic knowledge necessary for social survival in a cold and uncontroversial way. This is why it is only a matter of time before a lot of knowledge is imparted. This kind of education is popular and civilian education. Although every American must receive compulsory education before the age of 16, this kind of universal education is relatively universal, that is, the standard is relatively low, which is suitable for the acceptance level of most students. Due to the lack of educational resources, the restriction of job market and the influence of humanistic environment, domestic education can only be implemented "fairly". China students have no choice in this social form, but American students are different. A few people who choose the "elite" road can realize their "elite" education as long as they study hard. Because this is my choice, there is no pressure from society and family, so I have a pleasant heartfelt motivation.

In addition to self-orientation, there are also great differences in the choice of academic courses between China and the United States. Education in China requires all subjects of mathematics and physics, and a poor science subject may have a fatal impact on the future of life. Basic education in the United States gives students greater freedom of choice on the basis of meeting the most basic requirements. For example, if a student is not interested in physics, chemistry and biology and finds it very difficult, he can only take relatively basic courses, take more courses of interest that he is good at, and choose only one of restoration, chemistry and biology, so that he can graduate from high school and enter a top university, and also have the opportunity to become an "elite".

(vi) The history of urban development is different. Among the six famous ancient capitals in the world, Beijing, Xi, Luoyang and Kaifeng all have a history of more than 3,000 years. Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other big cities also have a history of more than 2,000 years. Millennium ancient cities are all over the country. The history of American cities is very short. The first city, Boston, was built in the 1930s17th century and has a history of more than 300 years.

I wish you a happy choice!
