Campus cultural differences between China and America
Differences in campus architecture. The campus of China is usually a relatively independent space, the high fence isolated the school from the outside world, and almost all the activities of the school were carried out within the enclosed enclosure. American universities generally have no walls, so-called "no marginal universities", "no walled universities", and open schools. There seems to be no boundary between the school and other territories, but in fact there is an invisible dividing line in the heart of the American people.
This difference has a great relationship with Chinese and western traditional culture. Chinese wall culture since ancient times and is famous in the world, people used to use the wall to protect the territory and interest groups or families. The wall is China ethnic culture tends to closed, concentric, r
estrained and subtle cultural and psychological performance, and the psychological status quo, and Chinese aloof from the Worldly Philosophy and self-sufficient economy inseparable. The walls in addition, culture is actually of a collective privacy, Chinese generally follow the internal open closed principle, close to a defensive attitude to the outside world. American houses, including schools, government agencies and so on, are built around the house, surrounded by open, although some built fences, but also some low fence, giving people the feeling of opening to the outside world. Americans are outgoing, outspoken, advocate freedom and competition, love adventure. This open architecture layout and China wall culture reflects the cultural psychology of living instead, closure of the internal opening, the americans.
The difference between "teaching" and "learning". The teaching mode of University in China is old and the teaching method is single.
In class, the teacher only instills the content prepared in advance to the students, and the students can only accept it passively and comprehensively. The teaching method is mainly based on questioning, recitation and homework. Students become mechanical memory tools, and their practical ability and cognitive ability are very poor. In addition, the academic ability of college students is also poor. It can be said that China's university education has trained a group of experts i

Many American college students is active, the school encourages funded students set up a variety of extracurricular activities, extracurricular groups, contents and methods of these group activities entirely by the students to discuss the decision. Their activities are various, and they act completely according to their own preferences or design programs.

The difference between independence and dependence. Most of the expenses of Chinese college students during the university are borne by their parents. Many people believe that the parents spend their money for granted, and only a few students can earn their own living. And parents also think that providing money to provide children with university is their bounden duty, which directly leads to college students too dependent on their parents.
