1. I'm surprised by Americans' reliance on credit cards. They are accustomed to overdrafts and advanced spending, and credit card culture is simply a modern version of "spending". Paying off debts as soon as your monthly salary arrives is not life, this is paying for the greed of capitalism! This lifestyle is in stark contrast to the consumption habits at home and abroad.
2. Once American parents beat and scold their children, they may face severe legal sanctions, or even their children will be taken away. This education model is fundamentally different from traditional Chinese family education.
3. When eating out in the United States, the tipping system is a major feature of the American catering industry. Not only do you need to tip 10% to 20% for takeaways, but the service staff mostly rely on tips for their income.
4. Americans use air conditioners almost all year round and pursue a constant temperature lifestyle. Whether it's when they're out or sleeping, they tend not to turn off the air conditioner or turn off the lights to sleep. It's just too "extravagant".
5. Americans like to add ice to any drink, even in the cold winter, even pregnant women.
Let's go! This extreme waste of energy not only causes a huge burden on the environment, but also wastes a lot of money. In contrast, the Chinese pay attention to conservation, pay attention to environmental protection, and will not waste energy at will.
5. Americans are generally overly reliant on cars, especially when it comes to urban transportation. They drive almost everywhere, even if it's just a few hundred meters, and choose to drive instead of walking or biking. This habit not only leads to severe traffic congestion, but also increases tailpipe emissions and energy consumption.
6. I was shocked by the flood of social networking in the United States. Whether it's Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, people are immersed in these virtual social worlds almost every day, ignoring real human relationships in real life. This over-reliance on online communication has led to a growing distance between people and social relationships.
7. The U.S. legal system is relatively lax, especially when it comes to gun control. People can easily buy and carry guns, which has led to frequent incidents and violent crimes. In contrast, China has a very strict control of firearms, which has made a great contribution to the security of the country and the stability of society.
8. The U.S. healthcare system is deeply controversial. The high cost of health care makes it impossible for many Americans to afford proper health care, which should not exist in a developed country. In contrast, China's healthcare system, while not perfect, has done a relatively good job in terms of inclusiveness and basic medical coverage.
9. Americans have a weak sense of protecting personal privacy. They are used to uploading their personal information and privacy to social media and various apps, and they have a low sense of control over their personal information. In contrast, Chinese pay more attention to the protection of personal privacy and are very vigilant about the leakage of personal information.
10. Americans are passionate about a variety of sports, especially football, basketball, and baseball. They treat sport almost as a religious belief, hailing athletes as heroes, spending a lot of time and energy following the dynamics of the game and the team. In contrast, although Chinese's love for sports is not as good as that of Americans, with the development of sports, people's attention to sports is gradually increasing.
11. Americans have a high sense of political participation. Whether it's the ** or the midterm elections, they will actively participate, and the right to vote is an important way for them to exercise their civil rights. In contrast, Chinese have a relatively low sense of political participation, and most people pay more attention to their own lives and work.
12. Americans have a strong sense of the legal system, and they will consciously solve problems through legal means to protect their own rights and legitimate interests. Compared with this, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the legal system awareness of the Chinese, and paying more attention to the cultivation and development of the legal system awareness is an important task facing our country.
13. Americans generally pay attention to individual rights and freedoms, emphasizing the independence and decision-making power of individuals. They believe that everyone is capable of taking responsibility for their own lives and has the freedom to pursue happiness. This individualistic thinking is deeply rooted in American society and culture, and it has also become a major difference between them and the Chinese.
14. Americans have a strong passion for technology and innovation. They are passionate about exploring and applying new technologies, and constantly pursue technological progress and innovation. This sense of innovation and technological prowess has made the United States one of the world's leading countries in science and technology. In contrast, China has also made tremendous progress in the field of science and technology, constantly striving to catch up.
15. Americans pay more attention to personal time and leisure, and they enjoy a free and easy life. They do their best to organize their time and pursue a work-life balance. Correspondingly, Chinese generally work long hours and often neglect their leisure and entertainment.
16. Americans' legal system and judicial independence are respected and protected. They believe in the justice and fairness of the law and maintain a high level of trust in the institutions that enforce the law. In contrast, there are still some problems in the reform and construction of China's judicial system, which need to be further strengthened.
17. Americans have a high level of awareness and action on environmental protection and sustainable development. They pay attention to garbage classification and rational use of resources, and actively participate in various environmental protection activities. Correspondingly, China has made some achievements in environmental protection, but it still needs to be more determined to promote sustainable development.
18. Americans pay attention to individual artistic creation and expression. Whether it's a painting, a painting or a literary work, they encourage individual expression and advocate a unique artistic style. This individual spirit of creativity and encouragement has made the United States an important place for artistic and cultural creation. In contrast, China's art environment is also improving, and more and more artists are receiving more attention and support.
19. Americans generally have a sense of citizenship and social responsibility. They are actively involved in public welfare and volunteer activities, and are committed to improving the development of society and the country. Correspondingly, China is also advocating the cultivation of civic consciousness and social responsibility, and encouraging people to actively participate in social construction.
20. The American lifestyle is open and inclusive, and the degree of acceptance of multiculturalism is relatively high. They are open to different cultures and ideas, and they are open to ideas of exchange and cooperation.
Read. Whether in the workplace or in life, they believe that through continuous learning and self-improvement, they can better adapt to the rapidly changing social environment. This positive and enterprising attitude has also become another important difference between them and the Chinese.
22. Americans pursue stricter and more rigorous protection of personal privacy. They pay more attention to the protection of personal information when using the Internet and social networking**, and actively participate in relevant privacy protection organizations and activities. This awareness and action to protect personal privacy has earned Americans a lot of praise and respect. In contrast, China also needs to strengthen the formulation and enforcement of laws and regulations in terms of personal privacy protection, and increase people's attention to personal information security.
23. Americans generally pay attention to the inheritance of family and family values. They attach great importance to family affection and communication and mutual assistance between family members, and actively create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere. In contrast, China also attaches great importance to the status of the family and the inheritance and shaping of family values.
24. Americans have a strong awareness and demand for social equality. They oppose any form of discrimination and unequal treatment and are committed to creating a just and equal social environment. This strong sense of social equality has made the United States one of the world's leading models for equality and justice. Correspondingly, China is also making continuous efforts to promote social equality and address inequalities in poverty, education and employment.
25. Americans are extremely determined in their pursuit of free expression and expression. They believe that everyone has the right to express their opinions and opinions, while also respecting the freedom of speech of others. This spirit of respecting and pursuing freedom of speech is an important embodiment of American social democracy. In contrast, China is also further improving the system and environment for freedom of expression, and promoting diversification and liberalization.
26. Americans are passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation, and encourage the development of individual entrepreneurship. They believe that everyone has the ability to create and realize their dreams, and pursue the realization of self-worth in the process of entrepreneurship. This entrepreneurial spirit not only drives the U.S. economy, but also influences innovation and progress in the world. Correspondingly, China is also actively promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, providing a better entrepreneurial environment and support for entrepreneurs.
27. Americans generally have a wide range of awareness and actions for public affairs. They actively participate in community building, environmental protection activities, philanthropy, etc., and contribute to society. This sense of participation not only enhances the cohesion and vitality of the community, but also provides an important force for solving social problems. In contrast, China is also advocating participation in public affairs and the promotion of social welfare, so that more people can participate in social construction.
28. Americans attach great importance to freedom of movement and respect for personal space. They are happy to embrace freedom and pursue an autonomous and independent lifestyle. This freedom of movement and respect for personal space makes the United States a society with a high degree of individual freedom. In contrast, China has some limitations in this regard, such as social surveillance and restrictive regulations, but it is also making continuous efforts to improve the protection of individual freedoms.
29. Americans have a high level of respect and tolerance for diversity. They welcome people of different races, cultures, religions, genders, and sexual orientations, recognizing and respecting their differences. This diverse and inclusive culture brings a wealth of character and creativity to American society. Correspondingly, China is also strengthening respect and tolerance for diverse cultures and groups, and promoting social diversity and inclusion.
30. Americans pay attention to personal health and quality of life. They value a balance of healthy eating habits, physical activity, and mental health. They pursue a healthy, active, and fun lifestyle in their daily lives. In contrast, Chinese people are also paying more and more attention to personal health and quality of life, paying attention to healthy eating and exercise habits.
In general, Americans differ from Chinese in many ways. These differences are reflected in the awareness of individual rights, scientific and technological innovation, personal time and leisure, the legal system, environmental protection, artistic creation, citizenship, social equality, free expression, entrepreneurship and innovation, public participation, personal freedom, respect for diversity and personal health. Each country and culture has its own uniqueness and something to learn from, and through comparison and reference, we can more fully recognize and understand the differences and complementarities between different countries and cultures.
