园果Differences between the Chine and American cultures岔河中学
As we know ,there are many differences between Chine and American cultures. If we desire to learn about U.S or communicate with Americans in proper way ,it is necessary for us to know about cross-cultural communication. Cross-cultural communication (also referred to as intercultural communication) is a field of study that focus on how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themlves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Only if we are familiar with the similarities and differences can we avoid cultural conflicts and get along well with foreign friends. When you are concerned about what you can do and what you can’t , your foreign friends will show respect for your national culture and there is no doubt that you can enhance the level of cross-culture communication .In the essay,I’ll talk about similarities and differences in three aspects between Chine and American culture :religion ,food and festival. 只要有你陪在我身边
1.religion
America is remarkable now, as in the past,for its attachment to the principle of freedom of belief or disbelief . –The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States订电影票 indicates that "Congress shall make no law establishing religion, or prohibit the free exerci thereof."So you can choo your indivisual relision.According to the rearch, The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practiced by the majority of the population (76% in 2008)；Speaking in general terms, the contemporary American is a Christian country. A rearch indicates that most Americans believe the existence of Santa Clous, Christ Jesus and angel even after they have received education and become adults. It’s easy to e the ingrained status of Christianity in the United States of America. Christianity has the idea that people have original sin, becau human ancestors, Adam and eva had sinned, corrupt moral invaded their body, and transmitted to their descendants, the result is that all mankind have sin. Obviously, Christianity preached that man and God, the paration of man and nature. China is a multi-religious country, and Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christian are the main religions in the country.
Incomplete statistics show that there are more than 100 million religious followers in China with over 85 000 religious sites, over 3000 religious groups and some 74 religious colleges. Chine people also enjoy the freedom of religious belief according to law, and regular religious activities are protected by the Constitution. All religious believers and non-religious people in the country respect for each other in beliefs and customs and live together in harmonies. While Chine religion would emphasize that the harmony between man and nature, issues of life within a confined themlves, to solve problems with people- oriented. It’s quite different from the Christianity.

2.food
Generally speaking, we Chine think food is very important to man. People often associate food with important holidays and the chance to meet distinguished guests. The Chine food not only is very delicious and tasty but also very pleasing to your ns and many of dishes have very beautiful and fancy names. The Chine have the food culture of our own which are quite different from westerners. In the west, people pay mor
e attention to the nutrition of food rather than the looks of it. The cuisine and table manners are quite different from ours in a great extent.It is a very common practice we Chine people say "Have you had your meal?" when they meet each other around the time before or after meals. In fact, it is a kind of greeting to communicate with each other. But foreigners cannot understand that becau they think why you ask me this. They tend to think you want to invite me to dinner or I am not rich enough to feed mylf regularly but that is my business not yours. Chine think food is very important and esntial to people so it shows some care and concern about you. Very often it puzzles foreigners a lot that we ask and talk so much when we order our food in the restaurant. One reason is we ask what the food or the dish is and try to clarify it becau you sometimes never know what the food is just according the name of the food until it is put on your table in the restaurant just. While most of western food has a simple and clear name and you know what it is when you hear the name. For instance, there is a traditional food call "fish and chips" in the UK. You e it is very obvious it is fried fish and potato chips. The reason for this in China is on the one hand to try to tell you the way it c
ooks such as cook, fry, grill and broil in the name and on the other it has beautiful good names so that you have a good imagination and association to let you have a good appetite.
