Nothing in this world can be absolute.We know everything is relative,culture difference being no exception.Now let me have a detail instruction for it. The contrast between western culture and chinese culture has got a big difference such as worldview,customs,and mode of thinking.
The first,let's have a deep analysis of worldview between western people and chinese.As we all know that people get a difference from the other place and they will share a different feeling inside.As the Western culture has its characteristic respectively.Western civilization because establishes in respectively from becomes the system far in each different cultural context, two kind of solitary different difference disparate cultural context, creates China and the West both sides the idea of is different in the value pursue and ethics orientation, thus causes the Western realistic personality characteristic greatly different its interest. Forms the thing cultural difference the reason is various, the difference also is colorful. West's each kind of diversity has presented the China and the West culture beautiful landscape for us, guides us to move towards China and the West cultural difference the source, inspires us to think deeply about China and the West culture the special characteristic and the essence, urges us to profit from, each other mutually “develops the good and discard the bad”.Causes “quiet and refined” the China traditional culture with “leaps” the western culture serves as contrast, to cause East's responsibility consciousness with West's right thought auxiliary, thus produces the gorgeous human culture drawing.
that's what western people think in a different way when they comes to a custom question.For example,we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-is-business way.
Firstly, line up matter. If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in China do line up, but they prefer to line up at a horizontal way. In contrast, in western countries, say, in England or America, people always line up, no matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lining up has long since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or grow impatient while doing it.
Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle here in China, it’s mostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usually happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming that his or her request takes only one second.And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in whil
e the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request costs, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one customer at a time is his principle.
Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wallet, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-yuan coins. What will I do? To give the cashier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-yuan coins so that he could
return me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.
I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the latter one. But , in England or America, they won’t do so. And if someone did try it once, and then he would thought it was self-evident to do so. But the cashier did not understand. So I say that western people are prone to lack of flexibility while doing their work. Then how about us in their eyes? They think we Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What an interesting contrast!
I know someone have deeply studied the contrast between western and eastern culture.The most famous one is that lines and circles which has got absolutly be agreed in western countries and eastern countries.They has put a result as the linearity and circularity can be used to indicate the major difference between Western and Chinese cultures. “Western culture” here is a general term, putting aside its interior regional diversities in order to contrast it with Chinese culture. A circle is a round enclosure. A line is a narrow continuous mark. The contrast between the linearity of Western culture and the circularity of Chinese culture embodies itself in such aspects as worldview, core value, outlook on time, and mode of thinking.
Although the difference between the two that has taken on a general tendency to be one,the world ,with the deep meety in each other,will fortunately become a 'nondifference' one.
