1、Culture is a complex concept which is hard to define. But, simply put, i think “Culture” refers to an inner spirit and the inherent charm of a nation, more specifically, which means people of a region often share the common values and worldview. Culture is a bond that ties people together, but it al
2、so may causes conflicts between different cultures sometimes. With the gradually close contact of nations and globalization, cross-cultural communication is becoming increasingly important today. Cross-cultural communication is not strange to us, its a kind of information exchange between two hetero
3、geneous culture and as a dynamic social phenomenon, it has its specific motivation,trend and pattern. When it comes to cross-cultural communication,what matters is how can we avoid culture shock as possible as we can and understand and respect others of different culture.So,the first basic thing of
4、making a well cross-cultural communication is to learn about the similarities and differences between different cultures.Becoming aware of cultural differences, as well as exploring the similarities, can help us communicate with others more effectively indeed. And, learning about the similarities an
5、d differences between different cultures not only can help immerse in another culture, but enrich our own traditional culture by absorbing the advantages of foreign cultures and make it various and globalized. Not only that, learning about culture similarities and differences is the fastest way to b
6、roaden your knowledge of the world and help non-native speakers put the linguistic knowledge into practice in some way.Next,i will take two topics as examples to show the importance of learning about the similarities and differences in different cultures :1、Differences between Chinese food and Ameri
7、can foodOnce there goes a saying,”Food is eating well-deserved for human life”, so food is the first need for human, and it does make sense to compare Chinese food culture with Americans. Then, i would like to share my opinions about food cultural differences between china and America: (1Differences
8、 in concepts. There is a saying goes in china:”to the people foodstuff is all important.” its clear that Chinese put a fair high value on food.,so most of them eat to satisfy their desire for delicacy.Chinese food is much concentrate on the color, shape,taste of food. However,”an apple a day keeps a
9、 doctor away”goes a popular American saying. We can see that American diet is more rational and what must be assured is nutrition. They just eating for living and heathy life.(2Differences in content. China had been a large agricultural country, so Chinese people are used to eating rice and vegetabl
10、es but little meat everyday. But, there exist heavy fertile grasslands in America which is the reliable foundation on which animal husbandry depends to develop.Thus,American prefer to eat meat. Even though Chinese living standard improves nowadays, Americans still eat more meat than Chinese. Besides
11、, American love cold food like salad and ice-cream, but hot food are much accepted in china.(3Differences in cooking. Chinese dishes tend to be art and sentimental just because Chinese people believes that cooking is something full of art. There are a lot of cooking methods in china, such as fried,b
12、urning,boil,crispy,candied and so on. However, American focus more on the value and nutrition of dishes than on the way of cooking. In America, the whole process of cookingbases on scientific standards strictly. So, cooking is more like a career with monotonous mechanical work.(4Differences in natur
13、e. Differences in the nature of the Chinese and American dishes are related to the respective lifestyle and the pace of the life. In America,people do the duplication of pipeline operations,and implement piece-wage system,so the paces of their lives are so fast. Accordingly,fast food restaurant can
14、offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice instantly and easily.Therefore, fast food emerges as required and becomes one of the dishes Americans like best quickly. They live at such an extremely fast pace that they often just “grab a quick bite”. However, Chinese much more e
15、njoy lives and enjoy delicious dishes.With the development of economy and the strengthening of cultural communication between china and America,China has imported various kinds of American food, known as “KFC”,”McDonald”. This marks a new American food culture exchanges and infiltration.In the face
16、of food cultural exchange problem between china and America, we should find each others advantages and draw the mutual advantages,as china can learn from the point that American dishes stress nutrition much,and make Chinese dishes more outstanding.2、Differences between Chinese banquet and American b
17、anquetAfter the discussion about cultural differences between Chinese and American dishes, i will talk about the cultural differences between Chinese and American banquet briefly.In China,a banquet, no matter what, there will be one form,that is sitting together and sharing one feast. Chinese often
18、use round table and a glass revolving plate sometimes if necessary to create an united and comity atmosphere. In addition,a person who is on the highest position or oldest sits in the center of all.The Chinese-style banquets is not only an occasion for people to taste and appreciate,but an intermedi
19、ate of communication. These all show a strict rating system which is the embodiment of the spirit of Confucianism.The American-style banquets,although food and wine are very important,but in fact they are just foil. And, food in the banquet often are placed on the long thin tables for everyone who w
20、ants to eat to take. Otherwise, the core of banquets is friendship, by the conversation with guests who sitting next to achieve the purpose of recreation.The differences between Chinese banquet and American banquet show the different characteristics and culture.Out of interest, i chose the course th
21、is semester. I think i have learned a lot in this course. Every class,the teacher and classmates introduced the cultural differences between china and America on a certain topic,which can further my understanding of different cultures. In this class, we have a group work,so we divided into an of thr
22、ee people,and our team chose two topics about “FOOD”and Banquet ,and what we should do was to find cultural differences on these topics. In class, we did a detailed presentation on this topic, discussed with others,and socialized. I can explore and solve the problem in the learning process by myself in this way,which
