What is the biggest difference between American and Chinese culture? This is an opinion question. I want to see what people find to be the most striking to them.

American tends to be more culturally isolated and have a sense of moral superiority. They love to teach other people what to think and what to feel. If they dont follow their value , you will be called as racist or whatever that might be

I see what you mean, Claire. I was more curious about what people who have been raised in either Western or Eastern countries thought about attitudes and customs of persons from the other.

I think this question is too general. It's dificult to answer. But I once read a book which introduce some European Culture, and I think the biggest diffrence between Chinese and European is that they have the diffrent history and mythology. Like European mythology: Zeus has great power but he is self-centred, but in china, Pan Gu who made the world, Nu-Kua and Fu Hsi who made the human beings are self-giving, they can devote thenselves livies to rescue their children. So I think the most diffrence is becouse we have diffrent background of history.

I don't think there's one single difference that stands out. But one thing that is definitely different in terms of general level of acceptance is racism. Chinese people may not always think of themselves as better than other people, but they definitely have preconceived judgements about other races that would easily be viewed as "racist" in America. Both cultures have their pride, but while American pride comes in the nationalistic sense, Chinese pride comes from family/blood. As a whole, I think we value "face" more than the average American, which I think is true in many Asian cultures.
