Over the years, there have been great differences between Chinese and American cultures. New immigrants will feel a little uncomfortable with this cultural difference when they first arrive in the United States. There is a word in English called culture shock, which describes this kind of "inadaptability". Therefore, even if new immigrants have American identity, they can't integrate into American society as soon as possible if they don't understand American culture.

American culture can be compared to a peach with thin skin, juicy skin and hard core. CBMC Commercial Road, s \ p8j-i

-US$X4H:kD#L0 is independent, which is the special character of the American nation. They believe in themselves, believe in their own destiny, and take self-reliance as their philosophical creed. American children sleep alone in a room since childhood. In the process of growing up, parents emphasize the cultivation of their children's independent living ability. Old people in America don't live with their children. Their children visit them regularly, but they are certainly not like China people. So most people in China will think this is unfilial, but it is not. Americans have their own independent living space and don't want others to disturb their lives, so don't tell Americans that it is unfilial not to live with the elderly, or they will think you are ridiculous.

Equality is a striking feature of American society. There is no distinction between high and low jobs. Waiters in restaurants are equal to teachers in university classes. They all use money to serve others. Don't despise people who are engaged in service work, such as waiters, because you are equal. In China, parents are above their children, and children always obey their parents. As the saying goes, "a stick kills a dutiful son." In China, beatings and corporal punishment are also ways to educate children. However, in America, parents and children have equal status. Parents should knock on the door before entering their children's room. When educating children, you can only persuade them. It is illegal to hit a child, and you will be prosecuted as child abuse charges. Therefore, new immigrants in the United States should never take the form of beating and cursing to educate their children, and be careful to pay the legal price. CBMC Shangye Road 9Y A2Q`8NO)jf

0J3Z/c-W8wcS0uY j0 Privacy is very important in American life, and sometimes even extreme in China. In China, it is normal for people to ask each other where they are going when they meet, but in the United States, this has invaded others' privacy. When you visit an American family, you must make an appointment by phone first. If you go in a hurry, you will also invade other people's privacy. In addition, income, weight, age, health status, grades, marriage, love, political views and so on are all American privacy, so new immigrants must be careful not to ask rashly.

N_)tm8T0 frankness is another characteristic of American character. Americans speak straight, don't like beating around the bush, and their answers are generally clear and direct. We in China speak tactfully and indirectly, and the answers we give are often ambiguous. Most information is conveyed through environmental language, body language, expression language or other nonverbal signals, and is rarely expressed in direct and clear language. This will easily lead to difficulties or misunderstandings in communicating with Americans, so new immigrants should try to avoid confusing, vague and wordy sentences when communicating with Americans.

More than +D mMR(F%H/C0) is the core feature of American culture. New immigrants should know more about American culture and do as the Romans do, so that they will not be out of tune with American society because of the cultural shock after landing, and then they can start a new and better life in a new country.
