American Culture compared to European Culture

    I realized that I had primarily focused on American Culture compared to Chinese Culture.  For anyone interested in Cultural differences between America and Europe, I also wanted to include a post on that topic.  It is important to be aware of cultural differences in the event of traveling to another country or in case you encounter someone from another culture.

Below I am posting a video that I found that discusses the differences of American and European Cultures:

Benefits of knowing and understanding Chinese Culture

   I wanted to also cover the topic of how understanding Chinese culture can help in doing business with China or attempting to expand your business in China.  It is important to understand Chinese culture so that business can go smoothly without offending or insulting someone of another culture.

     I  found and posted a video below with 20 tips on Chinese Culture for successful business.

Understanding Cultural Differences

    I found a website that is very helpful for learning about different cultures worldwide.
Whether visiting or just out of curiosity,  it is very informative about different cultures.

I am posting a link specifically to the page discussing Chinese culture, customs, and etiquette.

The page also discusses the basics such as greetings, communication style, personal space and touching, etc.  It covers the subject of cultural differences in business and Chinese students culture.
