Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience.Let's have a look at the information below.
Privacy（隱私）
Chinese people do not have the same idea of privacy as Americans do.They talk about topics such as ages，income or marriage，which Americans think is annoying and makes them uncomfortable.
Family
In China，elders are traditionally treated with a lot of respect while the young are cherished.In America，the goal of the family is to encourage independence，particularly that of the children.Unlike the Chinese，older Americans seldom live with their children.
Friends
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required.Americans always call people they meet friends.There are work friends，playing friends，school friends and drinking friends.
Money
As is well known，the Chinese like to save.They always plan how to spend money.It is different in the USA，where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education.
Education
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans，while Americans pay more attention to good character and faith （信仰）.
Collectivism（集體主義）vs.Individualism
Basically China values the community and the US values the individual.If you achieve something in the USA，it's because you are great.While in China，if you achieve something in China it's because the team，or family，or company is great.Everything you do depends on the greater whole，while in America individual value is celebrated.
