Why are most Chinese college students more interested in these things? Why are we more interested in passing the exam than studying itself? Why are we more interested in how to make a living than how to make a life? Why are we more interested in defining success than happiness? Why do we care more about "Was it a victory" than "Was it fun?" Why do we only focus on the general phsychology, ignoring the very psyche part? Why do we think a lot more about "how am I" than "how are we"? Any response will be appreciated.

Why are most Chinese college students more interested in these things?

Why are we more interested in passing the exam than studying itself?

Why are we more interested in how to make a living than how to make a life?

Why are we more interested in defining success than determining happiness? (I added a verb here, to have a consistent style throughout the piece)

Why do we care more about "Was it a victory?" than, "Was it fun?"?

Why do we only focus on the general psychology, ignoring the very psyche aspects?

Why do we think a lot more about "How am I?" than "How are we?"?

Any response will be appreciated.

Teaching in Minnesota, U.S.A., I have noticed that students here do the same. Perhaps they are that way because the government, or society, has forced them to focus on such things. The expression one hears throughout the U.S.A. is, "Teach to the test." The focus becomes excelling academically to a mandatory test. Even funding educational programs supports that aspect of life.

There are so many valid answers to all of these questions. What are the pressures we accept when we are growing and maturing? Which pressures do we successfully defend against? Are we born leaders or followers? The list goes on.
