What’s more, people should bear in mind that……SummaryTo be frank, it is essential for us to acknowledge cultural difference as it does exist in our lives. For instance, when we Chinese first meet each other, it’s a common practice to shake hands, while the westerners may hug or kiss each other. Unlike Chinese, westerners will open the gift you give them the moment he or she receives it, for he/she thinks it polite to do so.
Living in such a closely-connected world, how can we avoid the conflicts? Here are my suggestions. First of all, it is of great significance for people to accumulate some knowledge about foreign cultures through books or the Internet to avoid unnecessary conflicts while in contact with foreigners. What’s more, people should bear in mind that every culture deserves to be understood and respected.

Our China owns a long history of 5000 years, where there are lots of outstanding treasures. At the same time, some aspects of western culture are not suited to us.
As we know, every coin has two sides. Some of western culture is good but some of them are not suited. Thus, on one hand, it’s every Chinese’s responsibility to promote the essence of our culture, such as our traditional virtues, the spirit of Confucius and so on. On the other hand, we can learn the positive side in western culture, such as being confident and independent, and remove the negative side. Just as the saying goes “Remove gross while keeping the essence”.
