2、生活方式
• 点评:中国人非常非常非常喜欢热闹,生活方式 在老外眼中看来,就是如图所示,永远喜欢有人 陪,永远不喜欢独处。而且,认为一个人总是独 处,那这个人可可怜了。老外却正好相反,他们 总喜欢独来独往。假如有人总是没有任何目的地, 只为陪而陪地过去陪他们的话,那会让他们感到 自己的个人空间受到了侵害。此外关键是,他们 在独来独往的过程中,得到了中国人人山人海地 相处时得到的同样的快乐,甚至更多。
Individual Culture (liberalism): individuals tend to define themselves by the extent to which they are different from, rather than similar to other. People are encouraged to display self-confidence and assertiveness, disclosure of personal thoughts and feelings.
