China and US Cultural Differences
Introduction
With more than six billion people in the world is not difficult to realize that there are many different cultures and belief systems around the world that differ from the one we live in here in the US. There are countries that are governed by kings; there are others that are governed by religion, and others that are governed by republics. There are many different ways in which to prove that the world is not the same, we all do things different, we think different. Part of these differences is what drives competition and misunderstandings between nations. 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. When it comes to the cultural differences of people there is no right or wrong. People should be aware of other cultures and respect the differences that exist between them. Just like two of the most successful countries on earth the United States and China. These are two very large countries that have cultures that are well known throughout the world but that are also very different from each other. But, how different is the Chinese culture from the American Culture? If some of the Ideas from the Chinese culture were to be applied here in the US, what impact would it have? I have learned through my research that the US and China share nothing but their economical success in the world, and even there they have differences. Looking at the cultural differences between these two countries I must say that China and the US are very different from each other and some of their social ideas would not work here in the US and would only create problems. The differences that these two countries share are more evident in their dating and marriage ideas, non-verbal/body language communication, and religion.
