What’s difference between Chinese and the United States Culture?

China has a long history, so that it has a self culture system, both on the value, tradition and also religions. However, the United State has a short history, and a mixture of so many cultures.
Since the first settlers’ boat, the “Mayflower” arrived North America four hundreds year before. More and more settlers came to this “New Found Land” from European, Africa and Asia for better life. The society tries to make all cultures work well. Different cultures start to have conflict and mixture because of different value or tradition. Finally, it produces a special culture: pluralistic culture. People from different regions, different cultures give the pluralistic culture power to develop, Americans tried to solve the conflict and find the common ideas.

However, China has its own culture system, and the long history make children have lots of literature and history to learn. Children learn lots of experience and get to know what they can’t do. On the other hand, it also make people don’t like changing. Thus, it slowed the developing of the society. That is one of the main problems make all of the countries which have a long history (Roman=Italy, Spain, Egypt, India, China…) becomes the “developing countries”.

In summary, the long history make China has its own value, tradition; and make Chinese people proud of our country. But it also affects the developing and the changing of the society. America has a mixture culture, so that it allows different values or traditions get together and absorb the good ways. The laws in the United states says “Property is a sacred and inviolable right” to make sure everyone from different cultures will work hard for themselves. In china, people think public property is the most important, everyone need to work for it. However, working for public property will be useful during the conflicts (just like war), people can get together because of it. However, when the conflicts end, people won’t work hard if they could not get themselves property. In China, we think a good friend is people who can pass hardship with you and enjoy riches with you. However, there were so many people can pass hardship with you but could not enjoy riches with others in the history of China. (Example: Lots of kings in China who begins a Dynasty)
