I'm not American, but I am a Westerner. I'll give you some of my opinions.

 

The Different Culture Between China And American

There are many differences between China and the West, especially America. Culture is an important one. The culture includes many things, such as eating habit , greetings, education, and so on. I will introduce it.
Many Chinese people like traditional food, especially dumplings. At the Spring Festival, everyone eats them.
Americans prefer to eat bread and drink milk, and most of them like dessert.

One thing you might want to mention is that while the Chinese are superstitious about eating cold food, Westerners are not and usually prefer all their drinks to be chilled.


In China if we have a supper, we would invite many people and we usually think the more the better because we think it will be more lively. The host will prepare all the things. Americans would like to keep quiet and make the banquet sweet. The host will let the guests to choose what to eat or drink. If the host puts somethings into the guest’s bowl, they will think that the host force them to finish it. When chinese meet other people first time.

If the host puts something into the guest's bowel, they'd likely recieve a punch to the face haha


They will shake hands. However, in America, when friends meet together, they would hug with other one. Sometimes, they even kiss.

I know that kissing is common in many European countries, but it definitely isn't in Australia and I think in America and England as well. Here, we only hug family members who are the opposite sex, and shake hands with family members the same sex. Shaking hands is also common in business. I definitely would never hug one of my friends and am unlikely to be in a situation where I would have to shake their hands (although I often shake hands with their fathers).


In China, parents usually prepare everything for us. What we should do is to We should accept this without any doubts. In America, children are more independent. They know what they want to be at an early age and plan carefully to achieve the goals.

I find it's the other way around. Most Westerners have no idea what they want to do even while they're at university.


In our China, the bride and bridegroom would be in wear red, because we believe the color red reprsents luck. The wedding is hosted in the bridegroom’s house. In America the bride is always in her white wedding gown and their wedding will be hosted in a church.

This is the traditional way. Nowawadays a lot of weddings occur in places like parks or function rooms.


Chinese schools have many requirements. For example, many schools ask students to wear the uniforms. When we are in class, we should sit straightly, listen quietly and take notes. Compared with China, American students have more freedom. In class, they can talk freely, think lively and discuss with classmates. Students in America apply for the university. And Western teachers pay more attention to the ability rather than scores.

"In class, they can talk freely, think lively and discuss with classmates." No, we just do it anyway.

 

I hope that helped. I'm interested in the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, so feel free to ask for clarification, or bring something else up.
