communication ways of chinese and americans

human communication is the foundation of building a
harmonious society, and the emotions that people expressed
are the most important part of communication. emotions,
include friendship, family affections and love, are reflected in
how you treat others and what the others think of you. chinese
and americans both have a wealth of emotions, but there are
different ways to express the same emotion, which isthe
difference between the two nations.

first of all, emotions of chinese and americans are similar,
they are both full of passion for the world. for friends, chinese
are very hospitable, and americans are the same. chinese
always show the best things to visitors whenthe visitorsare
present. similarly, there is also more food on the table when
gusts are present in america. and for family members, parents
love their children and the kids respect their parents naturally
both in the united states and in china. for lover, people from
china and america both think love is specific and sacred, and
they both treat love seriously.

despite these similarities, the ways to express emotion are
quite different between chinese and americans.

there are different ways to make friends and maintain
friendship in china and in the united states. the intimacies
among friends are quite high in china, which reflected in the
personal relationship and the is common to use
someone’s own personal resources to help a friend to find a
job in china. it is also common that the richest man pays the
bill when friends gather at a meal. but it is very rare between
friends in the united states. americans insist that friends
should have their own personal space and personal
friendship needs not only the personality of
independence, but also the economic independence. that
difference mainly depends on the different national values.
chinese people follow the confucianist culture, which makes
ren as the core, and americans emphasizethe individualism.

chinese and americans also have different ways to express
emotions with family members at home. parents use an
implicit and intrapersonal way to express their emotions in
china, but american parents usually directly say “i love you” to

en will always be children in the eyes of
parents in china, they need to be taken care of and protected.
children rely on their parents andthey are also the hope of their
parents in the future. however, in western countries, both
parents and children are independent individualsand they are
not dependent on each other. it is also the influence of the
traditional culture of the east and the west.

for love expressing, chinese and americans also have
complete different ways. it is a tradition to use poetry to
express love no matter in the east and the west. throughout
the works of poetry at all times, we find that chinese poetry are
usually described some natural scenes to express the author’s
love, just like “butterfly s loved flower”. however a direct
expression is usually used in the western poetry. different
expressing ways also reflect in different traditional culture.

with the globalization of economy and information technology,
the communication of people from all over the world becomes
more and more frequent. maybe the difference between the
east and the west will be cut down and the similarity between
them will increase. however, in the present and visible future,
we must recognize that the difference of value still exists. only
realizing the difference can we better communicate with others.
and only respecting the different national culture can we
promote the development of cultural diversity, promote the
communication of all the countries.

【篇二：英语作文-东西方文化差异 -cultural differences】


cultural differences

there are plenty of. people in the world. they come from
different countried, have their

own race, belief and way of life. what is more, their culture is
different from others. so,

there is no doubt that cultural difference exist among lots of
countries, especially between

eastern and western countries.

compared with the way of life, eastern people always have a
bath in the evening or at

night in order to relax themselves after one-days hard work
while western people take a

bath in the morning. so as to keep freshly for the whole day. in
general, it is true,

especially for chinese people. we, chinese people would like
to take baths at night rather

than in the morning. it is a kind of habits we behave all the
time.

compared with the relationships, differences are as follow:
firstly, eastern people like to

make friends, sometimes through their friends, parents,
relatives. while western people

behave a little shyly. they do not want to make friends all the
time. secondly, eastern

people would like to hang out with the person they do not
know about quite a lot. while

western people just like going out with the person whom they
get along well with.

finally, eastern people have much more friends than western
people for their quite

different way of getting along with. their friends. there is no
doubt that eastern people

are more outgoing than western people, so i agree with these
a lot.

as for way of solving problems, eastern people always deal
with things indirectly. they

pay much attention to many things around them, and always
work for a long time to solve

the problem. however, western people just go straight the
heart of the problem and solve

it directly and efficiently. as far as i am concerned, this
difference between eastern and

western people is quite normal and correct. eastern people,
especially chinese people

care about things around them a lot, they always want to
satisfy everyones need, so that

they spend much more time to solve a problem than western
people.

as for way of thinking, people in eastern areas usually think
indirectly. they used to

think about the things around them a lot and try to deal with
things in a reasonable even

perfect way. however, in comparison with the eastern people,
people in the western areas

often think directly. they pay less attention to the things
around them and care much

more about themselves. honestly speaking, i disagree to
my opinion, everyone is

special and has their right and obligations to do things. there
is no need for us to critise

others and what we should do is to respect their own.
decision.

there are a lot of differences between eastern and western
culture. these are the symbols

of their own characteristics and we need time to dig out more
differences so as to learn

more about them. most importantly, we must respect their
culture firstly!

【篇三：中西文化差异比较(英文)】


the difference between chinese and western culture

with the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world
have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of
misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts
with another. in the oast most human beings were born, lived,
and died within a limited geoographical area, never
encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. it might be
said that technological advances have been most effective in
creating the borderless word, the global community. as our
world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent,
people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on
a daily basis. it is no longer hard to find situations in which
membes of ince isolared groups of people. now these people
may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each
other. so all the people are faced with the challenge of
understand this world. so when the east meet west, there are
many problems. some problems are listed as follows.

first of all, the way of eating. all huaman beings have certain
basic needs. our fundamental needs for things that keep us
alive. this is the physioligical need. all individuals must eat in
order to survive. but what people eat, when they eat, and the
manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. no
society views everything in its environment that is edible and
might provide nurishment as food. americans eat oysters but
not snail. the french eat snails but not locusts. the jews eat fish
but not pork. the hindus eat pork but not beef. the russiand eat
beef but not snake. we all have ideas about what kinds of food
are good to eat. we also have ideas about what kinds of food
are bad to eat. as a result, people from one culture often think
the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or
nauseating. dislike is not the only reason why some culture
will not eat a certain food. in some clture, certain foods are
taboo. sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just
the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual
to feel ill. we can also find culture difference in way of bring up
children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and
spending money before other people do in everyday, but in
some english- speaking countries, people do not agree with us.
we chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider
as edible by the english- speaking people. generally we perfer
to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. we eat from
one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat
one by one, and in the shape of a round. on the opposite, some
english-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in
two rows, two people face to face. they have their own plate.
on the aspect of table manners, there are many differences
between chinese and english- speaking people. for example, in
some englishi-speaking countries, bread plates are to the left
of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. salad fork,
knife and soup spoon are further from the

main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. when
eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. use the
knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. they should not
start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. at
larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others
have been served. when finished, place the knife and fork
together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. it is considered
