First, our values and moral ethics are different from those of western countries. Westerners always are proud for themselves when they do something successfully and they tend to accept others’ compliments. However, it is polite for Chinese to be modest. For example, when a foreigner teacher tell you that your English is very good, you probably say: “No, no, my English is very poor.” And it turns out that foreigners do not like our modest way to ‘accept’ their compliments. What’s more, western people prefer being special to being average while Chinese always try to be normal. Freedom, personality and independence are being treasured in western countries. In China, we emphasize collectivism which means we should act unanimously to make sure the behalf of the whole group or organization. In another word, they highlight individualism and we insist collectivism.

　　Second, westerners have different views on social relationships. On the case of social classes, westerners have a stronger faith on egalitarianism. In the west, no matter he is poor or rich, he gets the same rights as others; he believes in himself; and he respects himself as others respect him. As the proverb says: “If working hard, even a cowboy can be a president”, they do their best to be successful. On the other hand, family construction is simpler in America than in China. American family is composed of parents and their kids, while Chinese family comprises all the generations from the oldest great grandparents to the youngest grandchildren. This may explain that children in western are maturer and more independent than children in China.
