Chinese vs. German culture

This is a set of design created by Ms. Yang Liu where it describes the difference in culture between China and Germany (and also I would think also the American and European culture). I think this is a truly awesome piece of idea and art. I think as TCKs we come across a lot of differences that they have come to a point in which cultural differences become such a big blur.

Chinese vs. German Culture

To find out more about Yang Liu. Yang Liu was born in China but moved to Germany for her university education.

    Wow, that’s very interesting, Cynthia. I love the irony in the picture of “what’s trendy”. lol

    This reminds me of the book “The Geography of Thought”.

    Being aware of both cultures, yeah, it’s accurate. :D

    I am not sure if any of you have watched Bruno Bozetto’s Italy vs. European Union flash but I was strongly reminded of it. It’s pretty funny! hehe

    “The first statement by Americans usually referred to a large fish in the foreground,” says Nisbett. “They would say something like, ‘There was what looked like a trout swimming to the right.’ The first statement by Japanese usually referred to background elements: ‘There was a lake or a pond.’ The Japanese made about 70 percent more statements than Americans about background aspects of the environment”

    -> From what I understand, I think the Japanese tend to answer “what did you see?” with the big picture/background first not necessarily because it ’s what has caught their eyes first. Like Americans, it could be the movement of the big fish that they saw first. I think culturally, the Japanese is trained to answer that sort of question with what composes the big picture and then moving onto entailing the objects (fish in this case) regardless of what they had seen.

    Maybe in every culture, there is a code of order one is trained to follow when presenting their mind.

    I saw the three pictures on the blog, and I’d really like to see more. Does anyone have a link to all the artwork? To be honest, I know close to nothing about the German culture, but if they are like all Europeans, then I can definitely see the accuracy of the shots I have seen so far. :P
