学完美国文化之感受

学完美国文化之感受

学完美国文化之感受报关与国际货运100564248 褚杨明在我们中国人眼里,美国是一个颇具争议的国家。

它曾经在我国周边地区制造过很大的麻烦。

人是万物之灵,可贵之处在于他的想象。

他能回顾过去,分析现在,预测未来。

于是思想是人的特征,是历史和文化、哲学和知识的来源,也是政治和经济活动、社会组织和生活方式的根据,思想是人的智慧的表现。

正因为如此,美国大学极其强调个性发展的教育思想,课堂上,学生可以随时举手发言,反驳教授的观点,发表自己的意见。

学生在课堂上的表现大约占这门课分数的15%。

上课时的发言,不仅能与教授及其他同学做多向交流,也能充分表现出学生的参与感,进而在教授的心中留下好印象。

美国学生最大的特点是极具个性化和想象力,这从他(她)们的衣饰、发型、谈吐可以得到印证。

不从众,不跟风,努力做自己。

我们知道,西方文化其实来自三个文化传统,即希伯莱(犹太)文化的宗教,希腊文化的哲学,罗马文化的法律,三者可称之为西方文化的内涵和精神。

希腊文化衰退后,重心转向罗马;罗马衰退后,其法律传统,转移到欧洲各国。

英国继承罗马帝国传统兴盛一时,英帝国衰落,今日政治、经济和军事重心转移到美国。

从一个中心转移到另一个中心,如果说中国文化是好静的文化,那么西方文化则是好动的文化。

好动的文化往往是好进取的文化,同时也是好强好斗好侵略的文化。

美国是民主法制的社会。

美国人活的很轻松简单,因为社会环境是自由公正的,是按章按法办事的;相比中国人活的要累,因为我们很多事情是围绕情和钱转的。

在美国像政府、公务员、选举、审判、求职还有孩子上学什么的,都是透明的也都是在舆论的监督下。

新闻是很自由的。

人们可以自由地谈论总统、谈论政府。

记得当时还看到了很多我们政府禁止的关于中国的书,不过那里的华人都习以为常了,没人在意。

当然,这种体制下也有它并不完善的一面,过度的自由,才引发了最近的世界金融危机。

总的来说,在我的印象中,美国文化就是自由的象征,随着全球化的日益加剧,美国文化也会被越来越多的人所接受,取长补短,得到更好地传播,造福于全人类。

Both systems aim to provide quality education and prepare students for their future.In terms of language, English is spoken in both England and America, but there are some differences in vocabulary and pronunciation.

Additionally, accents can vary greatly between regions in both countries, adding to the linguistic diversity.Overall, the English and American cultures are diverse and fascinating. From traditional customs and cuisine to sports and education, each culture has its own unique characteristics that contribute to the rich tapestry of global culture.。

英美文化期末论文:英美间的文化差异(英文版)

The Difference between England andAmericaAbstract: the paper is to show the difference between American and English in several aspects, such as geographical location, cultural environment and the most important part, the language.Key words: Culture Environment,Education,food,Table MannerIntroductionThe paper deals with the The Difference between England and America.Culture is a complex, including knowledge and belief, art, morals, law, custom, and members of the society who acquired as any other capabilities and habits.1. Culture EnvironmentBritain is a traditional European country with long historical tradition continuity, and there had been a hierarchy in British society for a long time. And in UK there always has been a monarchy. So, the British likes to remember past times and old acquaintances, tends to be conservative, and behaves like a gentleman. All these need culture accumulation, and these character and qualities can’t be made if the country is without a long history. However, the U.S. is precisely without a very profound historical accumulation and is a young country. So, the Americans dare to innovate and stress emphasis on personal value. On the other hand, in the United States, there are not a lot of constrains. They feel free to make bold innovations.In addition, there is a great difference in the population composition of the two countries. The United States is a nation of immigrants, people comes from all countries and regions in the world. So, the culture of the United States shows different characteristics. People in American can accept and absorb all the culture factors all over the world. U.S. attitude toward foreign cultures is an open. However, comparing to the United States, the structure of the UK population appears to be simplex.2.Geographical LocationThe geographic location of the United Kingdom and the United States are different, one in European continent, one continent of the America. The United Kingdom, after a long period of development, has been very wealthy, so they are decent and conservative. But at the beginning of the United States, the United States is in a completely unfamiliar and barren continent, the first settlers were called pioneers, so they have to have the courage to take risks. If they do not have the spirit of adventure, they will not be able to survive, not to mention development, the hard environment eventually made the American spirit. In addition, the difference of European culture and American cultural contributes to the difference of the two countries. English suffers from the influence from other European countries, like France, Germany, but American was influenced by the culture of the other countries in American continent as well as the native Indian.3. EducationFrom the educational philosophy of the education system in the United States, there are the characteristics of diversity and openness, international and flexibility, which enable the U.S. Department of Education to ensure educational equity and equality of opportunity to receive education, and take full advantage of the strengths of educational objects, so education is the dynamic, vibrant in American. It also reflects what the Americans have been in pursuit, the freedom and equality. British education has a rigorous style of study and impeccable the education system. The UK has a strict quality control system, the teaching quality evaluation and the research Assessment from all the school in England are announced to the world, higher education institutions in the UK will be checked in a regular routine. This rigorous attitude is also reflected in the assessment of the student. Many students can’t get a degree if they fail in passing the assessment. Ethics and professionalism of Englishteachers ensure the quality of its education. British education also reflects British conservative and rigorous character.4.Traditional English food and confluent American foodBritish food, as we know, is very traditional. They don’t used to change their habit of food very frequently. Like other northern European cuisines, it majors heavily on meats, dairy products, wheat and root vegetables and a diet conductive to manual labor and red-faced citizens. The nineteenth century idea of a varied diet was one with different sorts of meat in it. Milk and vegetables were regarded as not only uneatable raw, but highly dangerous until boiled thoroughly. To a certain extent this is understandable, in an era without refrigeration, when typhoid and cholera could strike even the wealthy; over-cooking everything was probably a sensible course to take. People in English have a special eating habit. Firstly, the main meal in England seems to be eaten in the evening. Secondly, a big English breakfast is not something that many English people seem eat. Most of them have a light meal of cornflakes or toast and marmalade, orange juice and coffee rather than the eggs, sausages, bacon, bread, mushrooms and tomatoes. Fish has always been an important food in Britain. There are jellied eels, kippers or bloaters or crabs and so on. But the most popular of all is fish and chips, splashed with vinegar and eaten in the street out of a paper bag . British have a habit of drinking tea. “A nice cup of tea, the stronger the better”is supposed to be the British cure for all problems. Although many different drinks can be found in Britain, tea is undoubtedly the favorite at any time of the day and is the essential basis of afternoon tea. This is a meal that can vary from tea and a biscuit to the cooked high tea with lots of cakes served in the north. In the south west of England it is usually a cream tea, with home-made scones, strawberry jam and piles of thick clotted cream. People vary seldom have the thin cucumber sandwiches described in novels.American cuisine : The United States is a land of delicious eating. The two concepts essential to understanding US food are regionalism and diversity, accent on the latter.After all, Italian food differs from province to province and city to city as well. But key themes run through Italy’s food from south to north simply because its people have such strong roots in the Italian soil. Not so with the US. A nation of newcomers, its food reflects its origins. Long before Europeans set foot on American soil, vibrant and healthy civilizations nurtured themselves off the bounty of the land. They taught the settlers to plant the holy trinity of Native American cuisine—corn, beans and squash. The settlers returned the favor by nearly exterminating their benefactors, but those three foods played a vital in defining American cuisine. They retain their importance today across the continent—grits, cornbread in the South, tortillas and pinto beans in the Southwest, baked beans and succotash in the Northeast and pumpkin pie just about everywhere for Thanksgiving. American cuisine has come a long way since the early days of corn, beans and squash and along the way it has spawned some unforgettable food. Nonetheless the US remains a great place for great eating. Delicious regional styles remain a great place for great eating. Delicious regional styles remain and the new blood of immigrants sparks the imagination of the finest chefs while making for great inexpensive food in the cities. So come and get it.5. Table MannerAt table, the British people pays special attention to table manners, such as, they should not talk at table, should not beat tableware as well. They have a strict requirement on how to use knives and forks. While Americans on the relatively few occasions will do so, they like fast and convenient food, they do not require delicate or luxury dinner but they pay more attention to popular food. American favorite food is known as KFC, McDonald's and pizza hut, the junk food. This diet keeps the American obesity rate high. But from the diet habits, it is not difficult for us to find that the American do everything vigorously and resolutely and do not stick to the trifles.ConclusionIn a word, there are lots of different conventions in the British and the American’s culture. These conventions can be easy found in their daily life. They are all the symbols of the society development. They made us know a lot about the culture in the European countries. So if you have any interests on it, try to learn something about that and I’m sure we can benefit from it more . we can see that the British are sensitive, restrained, conservative, they tend to be rational rigorous and gentlemanly. By comparison, Americans are warm and cheerful, bold and frank. They are with a spirit of adventure and innovation.Reference[1]Brown, G. and G. Yule. Discourse Analysis[M].

英美文化趣谈心得体会

英美文化趣谈心得体会

英美文化趣谈心得体会第一篇:英美文化趣谈心得体会英美文化趣談心得體會毫无疑问最初选这门课就是本着对英美文化有着新鲜感,和一些兴趣。

以为会主要讲一些什么民俗,建筑,一些当地传统文化,然后会看到一些色彩鲜艳的英美国家照片,其实不然,相反老师的课中夹杂着一些我们日常生活的琐碎,一些搞笑的,抱怨的话题,不过这些内容又巧妙的与我们所要学的英美国家文化有着联系,也就是扯得上关系。

以为老师会大讲特讲这些国家历史,文化以及一些专业术语,结果有时反倒是轻松幽默。

不过觉得上这个课还是有些心得,并不是说我现在能把英美文化说的头头是道,反而是对生活,对学习,对自己的思想,有了些新的认识。

这个课上我觉得我学到的没有太多是关于文化的内容,但是每次老师讲到一个内容,与我们学校,自己本人经历的一些事进行关联比较后,或多或少能对我目前的生活有所启迪。

我觉得英语词汇很多含义都比较直白,看的许多英语故事也是读完后能知道大概意思,但我觉得汉语在这方面比较有优势,很多英语书籍翻译成中文后,经过修饰,在保留本质的基础上,觉得文章更加丰满充实。

后来又发现,看英语故事最好是去看他的电影,他的人物心理,表情书里面并不很能体现,而中文的话,则推荐去看书而不是电影,因为用文字就能将人物刻画的让你身临其境。

这一点老师只是提到了英语词汇的简洁,后面的是我当时的一些想法。

不过从这上面似乎也可以体现出中西方文化上的差异吧。

现在我又回到原点,什么是文化。

“文化是一个群体(可以是国家、也可以是民族、企业、家庭)在一定时期内形成的思想、理念、行为、风俗、习惯、代表人物,及由这个群体整体意识所辐射出来的一切活动。

传统意义上所说的,一个人有或者没有文化,是指他所受到的教育程度。

后者是狭义的解释,前者是广义的解释。

”我忽然觉得英美代表着前者,中国目前还在后者上徘徊。

如果还说学习英美文化有什么心得,那就是要能读更多的书,我觉得一个国家文化的奠基还是人,每个人的文化都在提高,修养都在提高,整个国家的文化才能凸现出来。

英美国家社会与文化反思

英美国家社会与文化反思

英美国家社会与文化反思英美国家文化学习心得英美国家文化学习心得教育信息与技术学院吴利平这学期,我选了英美国家文化这门选修课,一开始,我就发现这门课跟我的口语课-英美国家概括很类似,老师都是讲一些关于说英语国家的东西,但是我发现两位老师有着完全不同的教学方法。

口语课老师注重给我们介绍许多内容丰富的关于英美国家的概况,主要是介绍英国和美国,涉及地理、文化、政治、饮食等等,我们还了解了这些国家的首都、主要城市、领导人、民族宗教、风景、语言等等许多有趣的东西,让我真的对这些英美国家十分神往,特别是对澳大利亚和加拿大。

他还让我们自己讲课,目的在于让我们自己主动去了解更多关于这些国家的东西,因为课堂上能学到的东西毕竟非常有限。

但是,说实在的,我真的没记住什么东西,很快就忘了,可惜啊课后也没花什么功夫。

李老师则侧重给我们讲西方思想,他希望教会我们学会用西方思想思考问题,确实,很多时候我们需要走出来,不以中国人的普遍思想,用西方的眼光来看待事情,也许我们会收获很多。

很多时候,用西方的思想来处理问题确实很不错,只可惜在中国这个大国里,能这样做的人实在太少了,很多人都抱一种无所谓的态度,于是,我们就也真的无所谓了。

李老师在课堂上,给我们介绍西方国家政体、文化等的同时,结合自己了解的许多关于英美国家的事情,也结合自己了身边的现象,对比中西方思想,以全新的视角来教我们思考问题。

这种授课方式,确实很吸引人,所以每周来上课的人都挤满教室,对比其他的选修课--门可罗雀,所以李老师的课受欢迎也是必然的。

只可惜,上课了一个月,因为上党校,恰好时间全部冲突,每周四周五选修课,也恰好是党校时间,没办法,党校是绝对不能缺的,负责人幽默的狠话,使我不得不放弃了这个选修课很长时间,真的是十分遗憾,因为党校只有一次,这课也只有一次啊!不过还好,除了期间有两次因为科技楼考试封楼外,我还是尽量坚持去上课。

每次都早早地去,因为晚了就没位子啦!不过,虽然我缺了不少课,但这堂课的目的总体还是算达到了吧,我会学着在以后的生活中去用西方思想来思考问题。

My Understanding of Western Culture西方文化论文

My Understanding of Western Culture西方文化论文

My Understanding of Western CultureWhat is culture? Maybe different person have different ideas. As I check in the Oxford English Dictionary , it says : the beliefs, way of life, art, and customs that are shared and accepted by people in a particular society. In other word,western culture means Western’ beliefs or ways of life.As far as I am concerned,culture, as a product generated by man's long-term creation, is a social phenomenon. Meanwhile, it is also a historical appearance distilled throughout social history. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand the difference between Chinese culture and western culture.Western culture is divided into three periods,including: the period of a ncient Greek and Rome, the medieval Christian culture, Modern western culture. To be exact, culture refers to the history, geography, traditional convention, lifestyle, literature and art, code of conduct, way of thinking, value of one country or one ethnic group. Chinese culture differs from western culture in so many aspects as wholeness and individuality, speech, value, moral standard, social relationship, social etiquette, social custom, etc. As we know, there are many differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used.Western world’s culture during The second half of the twentieth century was marked by Diversity. Although many trends represented Acontinuation of prewar modern development, new directions have led some observers to speak of A “postmodern” cultural world.For another, they are always anxious for knowledge. Facing anything new, modesty is always their choice. In the contrary to them, our Chinese sometimes think too much of ourselves. In the 1980s, styles emerged that have been referred to as postmodern. Postmodernism tends to move away from the futurism or “cutting edge” qualities of modernism. It favors tradition, that elevating traditional craftsmanship to the level of fine art. They gained respect as artists.It has become clear to many people that, like it or not and ready or not, the conditions of the world are such that we are all increasingly coming into contact with those who are different from ourselves.(diverse workforce, mixing nationalities, ethnicities, races)—Global Village.People find that behavior and attitudes that proved necessary for obtaining goals in their own culture are no longer useful (esp.those moving across cultures)Familiar behaviors that marked well-adjusted persons in their own culture may even be seen as indicative of ill-mannered.We can learn a lot from the western culture. On a personal level, every one should have some knowledge of it. If you study the western culture, you will find that how different the way you think and do with something is from the westerners. You can not only get anotherperspective to treat different situations, but also enrich your personal knowledge. What’s more, you might even find that how many weak points in your character. Then some supplements might be added and you will have a more sound soul which will help you succeed in the future. However, it is not only necessary for individuals to do so.The richer countries are pouring large sums of money into space research programs which are of no benefit to human beings while in underdeveloped countries thousands of people are dying of hunger. Besides, many scientists time and energy are wasted,which could have been devoted to improving our living condition. Whats more, many astronauts have died complete1y uselessly in space vehicles which have been faulty. One very significant part of culture is the set of values we hold, or those things which we are taught to want and those things we are taught are right. For example, one of the primary values held by Americans is monetary or economic success. They are brought up to believe that economic success is something worth striving for.They were young people who had not enjoyed the fruit of life yet.Different form the easterners.As the westerners like to treat their parents as friends, they often show their emotion and tell their opinions quite straight-out while the Chinese prefer not to say but just hide in heart.Apart from human wastage,there is the wastage of resources whichare finite and essential if man is to survive. I think it’s high time we stopped these meaningless programs. Westerners stress rules and principles. For example, if a manage make a mistake or break the rule of company in western country, the boss will punish him or her no matter how close their relationship is, because they believe that relationship is one thing, rule is another thing, they should make decision according to the rules.As a popular saying goes, to say is one thing and to do is another. How can we learn from the western culture? At first, we should have a clear concept that culture has a broader meaning today. It covers literature, custom, knowledge, history and so on. The Western individualism has much to do with its colonial history, which dates back to the period when colonists had to fig ht for their own, and they couldn’t survive the harsh environments without extraordinary bravery, perseverance and optimism, etc. I believe it is those pioneers’ characters that form the unique individualism today. Time has also left its imprint on the individualism, as the term keeps refreshing its meaning. Nowadays, the new individualism refers to the pursuit of freedom and personal happiness, the sacredness of human life and properties as well as a lot of personal traits. Besides, Western is famous for its multicultural society where each element exists in harmony with one another whilst keeping their own traits distinct. All these contribute to the individualism.No one can predictwhat will happen in the future. Supposing that we didn’t look squarely a t other countries’ culture and get their valuable experience, China is sure to be washed by modern age. Hope all the Chinese could have clear awareness.In the process of communication, American people are more used to expressing their affirmative and confirmed opinion or thoughts. In other words, American speak more directly. For instance, in western countries, if a man loves a woman, he always say:"I love you"directly to his lover to express his affection for her. Another example if a westerner want to borrow money from his friend, he will get to the point directly and he is lack of money recently and would like to borrow some money.Given the final analysis conducted above,western culture does has big different from Chinese culture .So,we should have a full understand of this difference.It is high time we kept a closer eye on this issue than at any other time in the past.。

英美文化选修学习心得体会(精选3篇)英美文化选修学习心得体会(精选3篇)当我们备受启迪时,可用写心得体会的方式将其记录下来,它可以帮助我们了解自己的这段时间的学习、工作生活状态。

一起来学习心得体会是如何写的吧,下面是小编为大家收集的英美文化选修学习心得体会(精选3篇),欢迎阅读,希望大家能够喜欢。

英美文化选修学习心得体会1英美文化教学是英语语言教学中必不可少的组成部分,因此将一门知识性较强的课程转变为结合语言技巧与功能的复合型课程,可以令教学课堂充满灵活性,通过交互式多维的教学策略,进行文化知识“读”的输入,“说”的输出,充分调动学生在课堂上的学习神经,将被动地吸收转化为主动的表达,以多样化的口语活动开展更多元化的教学课堂。

一、新世纪的英美文化教学(一)演进中的交互式教学理念交互式语言教学(Interactive Language Teaching)是当今越来越被广泛运用的一种有效教学方法,强调教学的核心在于“交际”,将语言视为实现人际关系和进行人与人之间社会交往的工具,H.Douglas Brown的主要原则是“自动性、内在动机、策略输入、面对风险、语言和文化的联系、交互性语言以及交际能力”,也即交互式的教学同时涉及了学生和教师两个角色的元素,师生通过语言交际和互动来完成课堂实践,传统的交互式教学理念只是要求一个教师与少数学生之间展开,然而随着科技的发展,教学手段的日新月异,交互教学的课堂已经拓展到,人人交互,人机交互等多维的模式。

作为语言学习主体的学生,即是交互活动的主要参与者,不仅应该和老师之间有互动的过程,还必须投入到学生与学生之间的交流、合作、游戏与竞赛的环境当中去。

英语教学课堂搭建了一个人与人对话,人与人沟通的平台,更借助多媒体计算机的有效利用,进行尽可能多的交流和互动。

这一模式无疑有利于调动学生的学习积极性与能动性,培养一定的创新思维与探索精神,还能够树立团队意识与合作观念,将语言学习有效性最大化。

体验中西文化英语作文Experiencing Chinese and Western Culture。

As a student majoring in English, I have always been interested in exploring different cultures. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience both Chinese and Western culture through a series of activities organized by my university.The first activity was a Chinese calligraphy class. Calligraphy is considered one of the highest forms of Chinese art and has a long history. During the class, we learned basic calligraphy strokes and practiced writing Chinese characters. It was fascinating to see how a simple brushstroke could convey so much meaning and beauty.The next activity was a Western painting class. We were introduced to different types of painting styles, such as impressionism and abstract art. We were given the opportunity to create our own painting using acrylic paintsand canvas. It was interesting to see how Western art focuses more on self-expression and individualism.We also had the chance to attend a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. The ceremony was conducted by a tea master who explained the history and significance of tea in Chinese culture. We learned about the different types of tea and the proper way to brew and serve it. It was a calming and meditative experience, and I gained a new appreciation for the art of tea-making.Lastly, we attended a Western-style dinner party. We were taught proper table manners and etiquette, such as using the correct utensils and placing them in a certain way. We also learned about the different courses in a Western meal and how to pace ourselves. It was interesting to see how much emphasis is placed on socializing and conversation during a Western dinner party.Overall, this experience was eye-opening and enriching.I gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for both Chinese and Western culture. It also allowed me to reflecton my own cultural identity and how it shapes my perspective on the world. I believe that experiencing different cultures is crucial in fostering understanding and respect for one another.。
