Cultural Differences between the East and the West
Culture, according to the definition given by Hofstede, is the
collective mental programming of the people in an environment,
conditioned by the same education and life experience. Therefore, there
are differences between various nations or regions, because people are
affected by education, society and work experience. Take the cultural
difference between the East and the West as the example, China is a country
that endures high power distance while America endures lower power
distance. Therefore, status symbol is very important for Chinese and a
superior having the privilege is a matter of course. But people in America
think that they are all equal. Besides, the westerns are individualistic
while the easterners are more collectivistic. In individualistic
societies, people focus on their own values and needs, relying on
individual efforts to serve their interests. In the collectivistic
nations, people combine themselves into one or several communities,
finding their own place in the group and they mentally rely on the
community, so harmony seems important in those nations. There are three
main differences between the East and the West, namely uncertainty
avoidance index, masculine versus femininity and long vs. short term
orientation.

东西方文化差异
根据霍夫斯泰德对文化所下的定义，文化是在同一个环境中的人们所具有的
“共同的心理程序”，是由相同的教育背景和生活经历所决定的。因
此，各 个不同的民族或地域之前会存在文化差异，因为其中的人会受到教育、社
会和工作经验

的影响。以东西方的文化差异为例，中国是一个崇尚大权力距离的国家，而
美国是权力距离 相对较小的国家。因此，地位象征对中国人来说尤为重要，认为
上级所拥有的特权是理所当然的;而美国 人则认为人与人之间是平等的。此外，
西方人相对比较个人主义而东方人则更看重集体主义。在个人主义 的社会中，人
们重视自身的价值和需要，依靠个人的努力来为自己谋取利益，而在集体主义国
家 ，人们把自己融入到一个或几个集体中，在这些集体中找到属于自己的位置，
人们在精神上依赖于集体， 因此，和谐在这些国家中显得尤为重要。在东西方文
化中，还存在以下三个主要的文化差异，即不确定性 规避、男性度与女性度以及
长期取向与短期取向。
