China and the United States are a lot more alike than many people think. However, there are more differences than similarities. To understand these differences can mean better communication. One difference is the schools. In Chinese culture, school is very formal. Students remain quiet, usually wait for the teacher to ask a question, and things are very serious. The teacher is the authority figure. Students must stand up before they speak, and remain quiet in class. In the United States, it is the complete difference. The students in the United States speak when they want. They don't need to wear the uniform and sometimes sit in circles with the teacher like one of the students. There are some similarities too. For example, in China students enjoy all the different subjects including art, history, and economics. In the United States, the students have the same types of subjects but with a different focus.

Thus, Africa's colonial past has simultaneously meant
China and India Trends towards Western-Style Consumption Products that interest these youth markets In these markets, the youths are intrigued by technological applications.

In each of these cases, the impact of the countries' relative geographic proximity should not be underestimated. Countries like Britain and France, or Holland and England, had significant land to gain from the other and this was a main reason for their conflicts. The only instance in which a rising power usurped the existing power without war resulting was when the United States overthrew Britain; this example is more analogous
China Sample The China Fallacy provides an interesting perspective between American perception and that of economic reality. The book illustrates, how in many instances, a disconnect between truth and reality has the potential to create unnecessary conflicts between parties. The China Fallacy is no different in this regard. Within the book, the author Donald Gross illustrates how the notions of security, economic turmoil, and political instability are skewed within the general
China and Globalization THREE RESEARCH QUESTIONS ON FACTORS INFLUENCING CHINA'S RISE TO SUPERPOWER STATUS In evaluating China's prospects for achieving superpower status, especially during this economic crisis, the first research question would take into consideration whether and to what degree the United States is in decline as a superpower, and if it is, then whether China is simply going to achieve superpower status by default. This is what happened to the British
