The different cultures in china and America
As is known to all, China and American have many differences in culture. So, what are the differences between Chinese and American culture? In this respect, I say about the differences in food culture and college education .
First of all, most Chinese families like to cook the meals at home. The family members sit around the table and share the dishes on the table together. Even when they are having their meals in restaurants, they eat in the same way too. But in America, just parts of the Americans have their meal at home with their family members.
In China, we will eat something with sensibility. When we choose what to eat, we will care more about the color, the smell, the taste, the shape and the device. So if a kind of culture treats eating as the most important thing, there will appear two situations. On one hand, this function of eating will be played to maximize, not only for surviving, but also for using it to maintain health, which is the cultural basis of “if you want to keep health, you’d better choose to enjoy some delicious food rather than take medicines”. On the other hand, if pay too much attention on food, it will make people often pursuit the delicious food. While Americans maybe more rationality. The things they care most are the nutritious value, such as the protein, the fat, the vitamin, the minerals and the carbohydrate. In America, they think the foods are used just to eat, so they often eat a large piece of
meat, the whole chicken .
Next,In China a student can go to famous university as long as he has good social relationship, and he will get a gradual certificate. While if you study in America, you should pay attention, getting in by the backdoor is impossible, if you do not work hard you will never graduate successfully, and no satisfied job is waiting for you. In general, Chinese education styles pay more attention to basic knowledge, especially to math physic and chemistry. When we turn to see US students, we can easily find they prefer to improve social skills, including arguing, social work and teamwork Chinese have very good knowledge standard but they are not willing to talk about their opinions in meetings, they are used to work a long with former experience and lack innovation spirit. In American, education attract great attention from the government, compulsory education is 12 years,3 years longer than ours, the students not only enjoy free books but even have free lunch, from this you can see how American care about education. What is more, most of the people will not get satisfied with 12 years education, if so, they can hardly get a job. Many of them will go for further study. They study more forwardly and more self-conscious and these two kinds of good behavior also bring a good social atmosphere. Chinese teachers are used to divide students in different level based on they marks in the exam, and students will be divided in to different classes. While American teachers prefer to use \
he students, in their eyes every student is good, so teachers will not grudge praise for the students, may be appreciative education is enlightened from this.
In my opinion, the reasons which caused the different culture in China and America are the different culture, customs, history, atmosphere, nutrition values and economic condition and so on.
