Chinese behavior vs. American behavior

   -----Xuanwei

   The people of different countries have different behavior. Do you want to know some differences in behavior between Chinese and Americans? China is an ancient country. It has a long history,so there are the traditional and complicated behavior . America is a younger country.It is easy to accept the new things. The different behavior are the way that people speak, life behavior and consumption behavior between Chinese and Americans.
  The first difference is the way that people speaking. Most of Chinese do not like speaking directly. If a boy likes a girl and he wants to tell her, he will think about a way and let her know. However, he does not tell her directly. Maybe he will asked her to have dinner or see a film but he cannot say “I like you” . In contrast, Americans like speaking directly and they will give the advise directly mostly. If the thing has some problems, they will speak out. And if a boy likes girl,he will say:“I like you” bravely.
   The second difference is life behavior. What time do you take shower? In China people like taking a shower before they go to sleep, because Chinese think that after working or studying the whole day, you should clean the body. In addition, taking a shower helps relax the body and it benefits your sleeping. However, Americans like taking a shower in the morning. Some Americans think the morning is the beginning of the whole day, so it is very significant. Taking a shower in the morning can bring a good mood.
   The last difference is the way of spending money. Most of Chinese people do not like using credit card,they like saving money to the bank. When Chinese are checkout,they like to pay the cash. while American like use credit card to consume. Almost  every American have a credit card,some even have two or more.
   All in all, the differences between Chinese and Americans are  the way that people speak, life behavior and consumption behavior . In my opinion, there seems to be no connection in speaking way, shower time and eating habits. However, the three points both can reflect the fact that different countries have different behaviors. The different behaviors are affected by different culture and history.I support that more and more the culture exchange between countries, they know the behavior and affect each other.

    1. Yea, it's so interesting to know about that behavioral difference. Such different behavior between Eastern and Western men. Westerners are so much more open about their thoughts at the very beginning of a relationship. So interesting....
