What I have learned from the course--

The Comparison of Cultures between China and the USA

This term I chose the course -- the Comparison of Cultures between China and the United

States. In the class we learned about a lot of things about China and the USA, and I knew more

common sense from the class, I understood more about the differences between the two great

countries. Besides, I learned how to make PPT nicely. And the most important thing is that the

teacher taught us more about how to succeed and how to express ourselves.

We learned about a lot of things about China and the USA

At first, we talked about some serious topics, such as social values, marriage and family,

social problems and religions in China and the USA. I’d like to talk about the two topics - social

problems and religions. From social problems, I began to realize that the USA, the only

superpower, also had many social problems. For example, racism has an important influence on

Americans and some society morality conflicts - abortion, drugs, suicide are also bad to the

development of America. Compared with the USA, China has different problems. I want to say

something about the below problems. First, food safety, such as poison milk powder, brown meat

essence, and dyeing steamed bread and so on. These things are harmful to our health and even

can kill us, which should cause the attention of the national government. What’s more,

corruption is the most exciting of the voters, which is common in our country. Besides, there are

the high house price and the rising price of all things, which make us feel hard to live a happy life.

The last is medical problems, the high medical price makes people afraid of being sick and the

doctors are lack of the basic professional ethics. I hold the idea that the government should make

their decisions and take actions to solve these problems because they are related to our lives and

our safety.

What’s more, we can learn a lot about cultures from the religions in the country. There are

many religions in America, such as Christian, Catholic, Orthodox Judaism, Islam, Buddhism. But

the most American residents believe in Christian and Catholic. There are about 156 million

Christians, 200 thousand priests and monks and 76 million catholics in the USA, which has a very

important influence on American politics, economics and culture. About Chinese religions, the

group introduced there are mainly five religions: Taoism, Buddhism, Islam Christianity,

Catholicism. And in China only Buddhism is supported by the government, so there is no doubt

that Buddhism is the biggest religion in China which has more believer than other religions.

Buddhism is a kind of philosophy, and by studying Buddhism, people can learn self-control and

how to apply it to their daily lives. In a word, I hold my opinion that religion is a way of finding

peace, and helps to solve problems that emerge from modernization.

What’s more, we talked about some social practice, for example festivals, sports and leisure

activities, traveling and campus life. Because there are so many details, I just prefer to talk about

the festivals that can reflect more cultural differences between China and the United States. The

group introduced in America, there are many festivals such as New Years Day, Easter Day,

National Flag Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and so on. And there is no doubt that Christmas is

the most important festival in the heart of the American people, as the Spring Festival in the

heart of Chinese. On Christmas, People send out Christmas cards with best wishes to friends, teachers and relatives. "Merry Christmas" can be heard everywhere. In China, there are also

many festivals, the Spring Festival, the Tomb-sweeping day, the Mid-Autumn festival, the

National Day and so on. Chinese like to get together with families and friends on the holiday to

have a happy time.

At last, we talked about movies and music in China and the USA. And the music part gave me

a deep impression on me, which makes me decide to say something about the music. The group

which talked about American music left a deep impression on me, because of their questions and

candies. We all thought this was a wonderful way to understand the cultures that we can use for

reference in other speeches and communications. In China music, the group introduced

Traditional music Instruments, famous traditional songs, Chinese opera and Chinese modern

music. And the famous traditional songs attract me and I almost lost myself, because they are so

wonderful.

From all the topics we have talked about, we can experience the differences between

Chinese culture and American culture. American prefer to individualismwhile our Chinese pay

more attention to collectivism. And American be independent earlier than Chinese. What’s more,

compared with Chinese, American are more open and democracy. There are more differences

between the two powerful country. But we should attach inportance to the differences and

respect each other and their cultrue. In the future, we should pay more attention to win-win

cooperation.

I learned how to make PPT beautifully

In the class, I learned a lot from my classmates about how to make and show PPT. Now, I

know how to match the words with the background, how to choose the background picture to fit

the theme and how to seek the material for our PPT theme. When I make the PPT myself, I

discover all things are difficult not like it looks so simple on the surface, so I realized the

importance of practice.

When I make PPT, at first I looked for the materials that were useful for me, and I found that

there were so many materials on the internet that were useless but the useful were so scarce.

And I had to seek for the materials tardily. When I began to make PPT, it was so cockamamie that

I almost lost my patient in it but I persuade myself to keep on to the end. During this time, I try

my best to make my PPT beautiful and clear and I add the music and the video in the PPT to make

it more attractive.

The most important thing for me is that I understood it was not easy to organize my team

member to work together because they all seemed so busy. But finally we finished our work

though it was not so nice.

I learned how to succeed and how to make speeches

I think in the class I should give my thanks to my well-beloved teacher, who has taught us a

lot we can’t learn from the books. The most important thing is that she taught us to be confident

and brave. Only in this way can you tell others what you have mastered in and what you want to

others to learn about. If one doesn’t have confidence, maybe he can’t fail because he has no

courage to try but he can never be successful. What’s more, our teacher taught us something

about how to express ourselves clearly in front of many people and how to make speeches with

the PPT, which will surely give us great help. Last but not least, I learned to how to grow up
