Japanese behavior VS American behavior
Do you know each country has various behaviors in their lives? If you
visit a foreign country, you will probably feel strange about the different
behavior of the people. For example, Japan and America have many differences in
greeting, service behavior and taking classes.
First, American and Japanese are different behaviors when they greet
each other. almost all Japanese people are shy. So, when people greet each
other, they say just ‘OHAYOU’. They don’t say anything except it. However,
American people are very open. When they meet each other, they say ‘GOOD MORNING’.
Besides, they share a big hug and kiss each other’s cheeks and they always say ‘HOW
ARE YOU?’ after the greeting. These are good habits!
In addition to this, the behavior of the staff in the shop is also different. Japanese people have some conceptions
that the staff has to behave kindly for the guests. If the staff’s service is
not good, the staff will make the leader angry. It is most important that the
staff makes the guests happy by the good service in Japan. On the other hand, American
services are very frank. For example, if you go into a shop, you might see that
the staffs do catch ball each other. Someone may be dancing and the other are
singing. It was unbelievable for me! If workers do these behaviors in Japan,
they will be scolded by the leader. However, I like American behaviors because
it makes me smile because of their funny behaviors. Japan may sometimes be a
little too polite. Both services are very attractive!
Third, Japanese and American behave differently in class. First, Japanese
students hardly say their opinion in front of people. Even if the teacher asks
some opinions of the students, they don’t say anything. They are so quiet, so
teachers sometimes are confused. Japanese students take the classes quietly and
they aren’t active in front of people. then American people can say their
opinions in front of many people without shyness. They sometimes discuss the
class’s theme even if the teachers don’t ask some questions. They are very
active.
In conclusion, each country has various behaviors. Japanese behavior and
American behavior are very different. American people are active. Japanese
people are shy. I think they have many good points and they also have bad
points. When you visit other countries, you will be able to realize the good
and bad points in your country because you can compare the many differences.
I like Japan's Cultule, because I think it is looks like China's Cultule. If I have free time, I will go to Japan for a trip.

ReplyDeleteYes, Japanese restaurants can be so relaxing! Hokkaido restaurant in New Paltz is pretty quiet.
DeleteSarah

Japan is cool country. is that the most interesting in here is Animator! I like to watch One Piece and Death Note :)
ReplyDelete-Khanh-
ohhhhh, really??? I also like Death Note and One piece too much!! I have these comics in my house! which comics do you like? I prefer One Piece to Death Note. Death Note is usually complicated story. However, One Piece are very exiting and enchanting! I like Sanji who is a cook in One Piece character. what character do you like?

Sayo,
ReplyDeleteI think the most shocking difference that you described is the way workers behave (toward each other and toward their customers). Honestly, I much prefer the way workers behave towards their customers in Japan. They are so polite and considerate of the customer. It's rarely like that in the U.S. and I definitely think that Americans can learn a lot about customer service from the Japanese!! Thanks for sharing your ideas.

yeah, when i came into a shop in New Paltz, staffs did catch ball each other! it was unbelievable to me. If American visit Japan, they must be attracted by Japanese polite behavior. haha
DeleteIn addition to this, I like Nekosushi in the main street. I surprised when i visit the Nekosushi for the first time because the sushi is volumy and delicious. I thought Tokyo sushi is not volumy, so I like Nekosushi! haha

ReplyDelete-Lia

DeleteSayo
Your comparison essay is good. I like Japanese culture. Japanese are polite and quiet.
ReplyDelete-Dandan
Thank you, Dandan! I think Chinese are also quite. however, when chinese talk with their friends, they speak loud voice. Is it correct? which behavior do you like between America and Japan?
DeleteSayo
I think most of Japanese culture is similar to the Chinese.
ReplyDelete------Xuanwei
yeah, I think so. However, I have never been to China, so i want to compare to Chinese behavior and Japanese behavior directly. Probably, I may find a lot of different things and new discoveries between China and Japanese! It seems to be interesting, doesn't it?

ReplyDeleteI heard that Janpanese people always have a deep bow when they have a greet,right? and I think it's very polite.
-Freya
oh, we usually don't do deep bow. However, when we meet some people for the first time, we bow deeply each other. Of course, we don't bow to friends! just shake a hand. How about is your country?

As I see it, it's very important to be polite in order to communicate with other, but also, it's important to act like American to develop our skills in order to learn English as well as the culture.
