Western culture is based on individualism rather than on mass (collectivism). For instance, in the US, you always talk about individual rights, instead of placing the whole society above your own self. This is clearly different in China where a country, society or families are placed above your own self.2. Western culture is adventurous and exploration based. Westerners like to discover new things, invention and expand outwards. For instance, bungee jumping is considered adventurous and common in western culture, but you will probably find no-one doing such a thing in China.3. Western culture is based on science, which attempts to resolve people and natures relationship.4. West uses law to resolve people and peoples relationship. You can never find law well-established in China. For 2000 years, China is a land thats based on human relationship rather than law. 5. West uses god and religion to resolve human and spiritualism relationship. In case of problems with your own self, you just pray to god.6.
