Why Chinese people tend to be crazier about foreign things and more obsequious to foreigners
Cultures tend to differ widely in different parts of the world, but studies have shown that globalization has played a significant role in promoting intercultural relations. Furthermore, certain cultures are considered as being more superior to others and this has prompted most people, especially the young generation, to admire foreign cultures. China is an example of those countries where more people are becoming obsessed with foreign cultures. According to Fish (2017), most young people admire America more than it was evident in the past, especially when it comes to its ideological perspectives and social way of life. Whereas the same applies in the black people’s culture, it is evident that the Chinese people are becoming more attracted to foreign way of life.
Social Change from the Grassroots
Evidence indicates that social change that has taken place from the grassroots in the Chinese society has been responsible for the obsession with foreign cultures. These cultural aspects have been dominant from the education system that has been practiced in China which has motivated most young people to admire other systems in foreign countries. For instance, Fish (2018) gives an example of a Chinese student known as Langou Lian who said that she hated the Chinese education system due to test-centered and high-pressure schooling program in her native Sichuan province. She compares it with the Western education system where adolescents are independent, learn in a carefree atmosphere, and are free to speak their minds while choosing their school activities.
According to Haste and Bermudez (2017), culture is dynamically interwoven with diverse forms of linguistic actions as well as the frames from which cognition occurs. The dynamic concept of nature is evident in Chinese culture as well as black people’s cultures, and this impact on the way people relate to foreign cultures. For instance, leadership and school life in the U.S. heavily relies on popularity level and gaining the trust of other colleagues, and this is an indication of several attributes of populist democracy in the country. On the other hand, in most contemporary schools in China, class prefects and a small group of students act as the management body of the class for minor disciplinary and organizational functions (Haste, 2007). They tend to be similar to the local practices that take place within the political system of the Chinese government. Conversely, Western nations emphasize on ‘democratic classrooms’ which is considered as promoting civic skills and awareness. This reflects a belief that a democratic school environment as well as the power of practice is a small-scale version of a democratic society.
Demand for Foreign Goods
Studies have shown that demand for foreign brands has increased significantly in China over the past few years. The main reason why most people in China buy goods and attire from Western countries is because they are considered as more refined and elegant (moduslink.com, 20...
