With the world being globalization. It’s necessary to know about the cultural differences between china and america , which are self ,repntation and time sensitive .

First, america is individuabism. Andre and velasquez pointed out that “faced with mg homelessness , rising unemploument , hihways, and impending ecological disaster, american response is one of apathy , frustuaction , cynicisn and retreat into the private worlds” Besides, in america ,the good society is the one in which ereyone pursues their own satisfactions and emphasizes selfsnterest arately from others .Hwever, chinese is collective .According to Rgraf, he noticed that a person from china is more prone to look at how their acts affect the whole instead of how it affects them person ally, they are more willing to give up and sacrifice for the greater good. And , he also pointed out that in china ,gooog society is one in which they aie alliance with a group, such as their family, school, workgroup or country. It’s honorned to give up selfsnterest for the good of group.

Second, america and china treat the reputation different. In america , repntation is less important . anmeican people que more focus on the end of result. If there is a anflict between a job and reputation, they most likely to choose the job instead of reputation .For example , Candace, my management teacher pointed out that “Microsoft has many ethical dilimmos, as a result, the company has involved in a large number of lawsuits .For instance, in 2004,the European linion found Microsoft guilty in a highly pubvicized anti-trustcase (Cadace.2012).Therefore,they concerned the profit which is important that reputation. Nevertheless,In China, reputation is the same as face. It’s vital to Chinese people. If someone lose face because of doing something wrong clearly,some folks will try their best to awid the apperrance of losing face,.If shame occurs, people would rather to lose job or whatever than“lose face”(Melendez, 2007)..For example ,If a reputable person in the finance industry to invest a new trade, the trade will run well. In comtrast, It’s hade to go futher for the company without the reputable person. (Melendez, 2007). Reputation in China just like a credict card. .It helps people more .

At last, American people and Chinese have differert sence of time . In America , time is senstive .American view the time as accurate . For example , If there was a meeting at 2 :00 , all mermbers would show up at that time (Rargf , n. . d .) . As for deadline ,If a result is due on Friday , the report will be received before end of business day .
