Now lets come to the point .Both American and British are western people , do they behave the same ?Obviously ,the answer is no .As far as I know ,the difference between them is not simply a little ,but turned upside down which makes them
5、 totally looks like two nations .The main characters of British are as follows: very open and informal , innovative and flexible , not to stick to trifles ,even exaggerated in greeting ,and Advocates heroism .What about British ?We all know that they are gentlemen .Whats more ? Rigid character , sti
6、ck in the mud , proud of themselves and polite .Well ,I will analyze more detailed in the following article . the personality of American Comparing with China the American character characteristics and behavior are completely different.And whether to settle down to the United States ,to study abroad
7、, to make investigation ,contact with Americans or to blend in the society . To adapt to the American culture, of course you need to understand the American character, characteristics and behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to get out of a coterie of Chinese students, and contact with Americans to
8、understand their personality and characteristics, so as to be familiar with their interests and hobbies, which can help you adapt to American culture as soon as possible. 1.Personal independence: Compared with the Chinese , Americans have strong individual independence. The average American think of
9、 themselves independent , which is important than any other value. In the United States, family and collective also important, but personal independence and individual rights are higher. The concept of Chinese people is very different .The Chinese often put family, the collective and the importance
10、of individual countries on above.,while Americans strongly stick to personal independence, which is formed and cultivated and trained when they were young. After American children born six months, they were separated from the parents by going to each other s bed,.Later ,more education and training o
11、f children independence from parents come into being. After grow up ,the vast majority of Americans depend on themselves to choose life road, choose to major in their professional, choose your own career, own choice of a marriage object. In short, they control of their own destiny, but dont depend o
12、n parents or the social life. Americans personality independence often makes them self-centered, and sometimes women seem unreasonable. Actually , Americans personal independence mainly based on trust in your struggle and individual ability foundation. And emphasizing the attitude of the individual
13、independence also make the average American can respect others, and believe that all people should be equal. 2.The competition consciousness: Americans have strong sense of competition, competition can be seen everywhere in the United States, friendly or not too friendly. Americans s sports enthusia
14、sm and their intense competition consciousness come from the strong sense of competition, the American people are very worship stadiums and business success or any other record of achievement even some insignificant achievement daily they had a crush on. Sometimes competition consciousness of the Am
15、erican people is misleading. For example, for a book or a movie, they tend not to be content with the case, but Caring about whether it to be a best-seller or how much value to measure its success in the box office. In the university, students pay much attention to the surface academic and rating, o
16、r average score up to . 3. Admitted and candid: in China of the so-called face is seen as an important than life. People always put the face in the first place . Americans are admitted and frank instead .For them, the essence of the problem and the place of interest are far more important than prese
17、rvation face .In the conversation, the United States is straight into the theme, they feel polite formula is a waste of time, because in the Americans concept , time was very precious. 4. the concept of time: competition in American society due is intense, full of motion and change, people are alway
18、s on the go , the result also formed Americans full time outlook. In the United States, time is money. Most Americans have a time registration form. The biggest advantage of Americans rushing time concept is high efficiency. In contrast, the Chinese concept of time is very long, work hour is counted
19、 by day, while Americans with hours to calculation.Americans busy time concept causes that they are very punctual. Instead, many Chinese people do not have the concept of time, and they will often be late for appointments, even late for hours. This habit in the United States is difficult to be accep
20、ted. In the defects, with busy time concept Americans surely lack of profound understanding of things and history and the utility is connected with socialism. Americans work very hard in order to succeed, money can be a important way to measure a persons ability. 5.Law-abiding and ethics: the Americ
21、an people observe the relevant code of conduct and the law and honestly perform ones official duties.In their work mostly there are contract to be signed by both sides.The Chinese people have heavy sentiment, are different. So to sign any document, he or she must be sure to make clear the legislatio
22、n, must understand every line before signing, or refuse to sign;.Once signed, you must do accordance with the act about, and violation of punished cannot inadvertent. 6.Rights and obligations: Although they do not put obligation in the mouth , but in their mind the obligations is very clear. the per
23、sonality of British Most of the British are so exclusive that they can not blend in . Exclusiveness is the most obvious character traits of the British .They do not want to talk more to others and never talk about themselves .Moreover , no one would know what they have in their mind. It is very hard
24、 for other people to understand the inner world of the British. 1. Most of the British have fit the characteristics . British people have characteristics of the character of what the public? Two reasons. First, Britain is an island country, the English channel cut off it and the external world of co
25、ntact, the English people dont even see themselves as European. Second, British people are very proud of national history .Among them, James Ersion the bible and Shakespeares plays to the west and the world culture has had a huge impact. The British parliament is the oldest European parliament, Brit
26、ain is the first completed industrial revolution of the country. The special geographical position and the out of the country for Britain civilization form personality traits now. 1.Most British people have conservativeness and are not willing to accept new things . The British conservative are know
27、n to the world, British people complain that their way of doing things is the best and the most reasonable. Some say that British people need 20 to 40 years to accept Americas present new things .Although a little exaggerated, but it also makes sense. 2. Most of the British have exquisite civilizati
28、on terminology and manners of good habit. British people are always for others.They wont ask others do not want to do. If they have to ask people what to do, very polite, such as: I know the trouble I am causing you, but would you mind.? or I don t really like to ask you, but. And so on. In daily li
29、fe, if they want to bother other people, they usually said excuse me, if unconsciously interfere with others, to say sorry. Ask people to repeat, generally dont say what, but said pardon or sorry. Please and thank you is often in noises phrase. In public places people wont cried aloud, and they dont
30、 think thats civilized behavior. 3. Fond of solitude and individual freedoms nature:Perhaps is due to lack of space ,the British people like to live alone and individual freedom. In Britain, people scrupulously abide by such a famous saying: My home is My castle. The wind can come in, but The Kings
31、and Queens and human beings can never come in without my permission. When the British moved to the new house, he will be in his house barbed-wire fence around, so that separated from neighbors. 4. Most of the British have feelings do not exposed behind the cold and silent character. English people u
32、sually will not be shown to anyone their hearts, and their happiness not exclaimed. Going to work In the morning on the subway people dont talk to each other, just looking at his or her newspaper, and the inside will be utter silence.In addition, even colleagues working with each other for a long ti
33、me dont know each others home address, family member, hobbies, etc, because they never talk about these things. 5. Most British people have humor to laugh at themselves . English is very humor, but most of them are self mock humor. They like to laugh at their own mistakes, their own faults, own emba
34、rrassing position, etc. The Britishs life attitude is formed over the years , to others it doesnt mean anything.
