Similarities Between China And America
I was most surprised by the fact that Panni and I had the same favorite childhood memory, celebrating Christmas with our families. I was overly accommodating in my thinking and believed Panni would have some other favorite memory which involved a tradition unique to China. China and America are similar to each other in a sense that they are both developed, first-world countries; Children typically experience a happy childhood and are well provided for. However, China is a far more historically and culturally rich country than the U.S. Socially, people from China are more reserved than those in America. If I were to visit China, I would most like to see Beijing City. From what Panni told us, it seems to be the cultural and social hub of China

    The first source is a political cartoon drawn by Henri Meyer in 1898. The cartoon depicts European countries fighting over trade agreements with China (represented by a pie) with a resisting China behind. China is being ignored by the Europeans. The European countries wanted to find a way to have some control within the Chinese government, so as to economically advance their governments, so they tried to establish trade within China. China, however, had no interest in anything the European countries had to offer. Britain was the one to succeed after finding that opium was of high demand within China’s borders. This image shows the negative view on imperialism from China, while also showing that the European’s paid no attention to the complaints.…

    Any political structure we have today was derived from one of the two most prominent structures in the beginning of the first empires. Both the Roman and the Chinese empire had a centralized control over a large mass of regions and populations. Although they had generally the same amount to control, they ran them differently. The Chinese empire was a dictated government where as the Romans had more independence with the law. The Chinese also used a bureaucracy system to hold them together rather than using an applicable body of law like the Romans. Both these empires had similarities, but at the same time had major differences that have shaped them into what they are today.…

    The early civilizations of China and India are similar but also quite different to the civilizations of Sumer and Egypt. A common similarity is the use of rivers. Most early civilizations built cities near rivers to gain food, water, and other necessities, this is one common theme between civilizations of China, India, Sumer, and Egypt (Stearns, 50). A common difference is the way the emperor/king ruled. In civilizations such as Babylon, the ruler created rules to fix family issues and property problems (Stearns, 36).…

    In many of the readings we have explored in class about Chinese culture have many similarities and differences with my experience of American culture. For example, the way businesses are ran, are different. There is no such thing as suing in China. Also people's jobs are set in stone so China doesn’t have as hard working citizens. In both cultures I think the mixing of age groups is similar. Something I think is really different, is how people in China seem to receive an equal pay as their associates. In America some people (who might be doing less work) receive much more pay. In this essay I will be explaining these ideas.…

    Both China and the U.S. share high levels of interdependence with each other. They have made a very complex economic arrangement. America accepts Chinese imports and pays in dollars, and China holds American dollars and bonds (Nye 56). While everyone might believe war between the U.S. and China is inevitable, it is far from the reality. It is the liberal perspective that good trade can foster peace between two states (Copeland 6). Both states realized that conflict between them will be detrimental to both sides. What makes both of these sides from engaging in violence together is rationality. Richard Cobden argued that today that it is impossible to “enrich oneself through force”, because by destroying bonds is terrible for the economy (Copeland…

    My initial thought of China was that it was going to be over crowed and everything would be uncomfortable do. I imagined every city to be like pictures people show the pictures of crowded streets and packed cars. It was quite the opposite. Yes it was crowed in some places, but there were a lot of beautiful, peaceful and magnificent places we visited. We visited 6 cities Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhou, Hangzhou Wuxi, and Shanghai. All of the cities were unique in their own ways and I learned things traveling to each of them. We traveled by plane, boat, subway, car, bus, and even a bullet train.…
