    I was most surprised by the fact that Panni and I had the same favorite childhood memory, celebrating Christmas with our families. I was overly accommodating in my thinking and believed Panni would have some other favorite memory which involved a tradition unique to China. China and America are similar to each other in a sense that they are both developed, first-world countries; Children typically experience a happy childhood and are well provided for. However, China is a far more historically and culturally rich country than the U.S. Socially, people from China are more reserved than those in America. If I were to visit China, I would most like to see Beijing City. From what Panni told us, it seems to be the cultural and social hub of China…

The philosophy’s core value is humanistic. It laid out people’s practical principles of life. It taught people that they were able to find the way independently in amenity of oneself, family, society, and the whole universe. Cultural conformity and “harmony” was what held the civilization together. “Community of mutual respect, concern, and trust” (Taylor and Arbuckle, 347) is the heart of this doctrine. This way of thinking helped Chinese people have good communications and relationships with each other. They shared many ideas and thoughts and learned different things from one another. Being able to communicate and respect each other was what helped them discover and invent new technologies.
