Topic of Final Paper

My final paper topic is Culture difference between China and America. Why I choice this topic because China and the United States are two completely different culture models. The biggest cultural differences between the two countries are especially evident when analyzing the family unit, classroom, tradition. That is power distance; intercultural communication of individualism and collectivism; and communication style.

China and the United States are big countries in the world. I come from China, and I have been influenced by Chinese culture for 19 years. China has more than five thousand years of history. I have been studying in America for almost one year, and the United States has about two hundred years of history. I think China and the United States have a lot of differences; not only economic differences, but also ethnic and historical differences. All those big factors make their cultures different. I think the United States’ ideas are open and new, but China is more traditional and closed. The differences between China and United States can be shown in the principle of the Power distance is a concept from intercultural communications that highlights these differences. For cultural communication classes, individualism and collectivism principles will help people to understand cultural differences. And communication style is always influenced by different cultures.

China and United State are two completely different culture models. I talked with about American and Chinese culture. I discuss this topic for a long time. I really learned a lot of information about different countries’ culture of power distance and culture background. I think it is good for the families to treat children equally. However, it also depends on the cultural background and society. I think culture communication is very important in the world; and I will continue to learn a lot about communication from people of other cultures. In this way, I can have a good time when communicating with people and make a lot of friends. I think that cultural communication plays an important role in my life that can give me many ideas on how to communicate better with people from different cultural backgrounds. So, I would like to choice topic for my final paper.
