The differences in gifts culture between Chinese and the western

Chinese and western have the custom of gifts, gift of east and west have paid great attention, and that it should be reciprocity, back and forth.

However, the western culture and eastern culture gifts behavior or have very big difference. If we do not pay attention to these gifts cultural differences, and maybe one day when we and the western friends, we would be in trouble.

Living in California town of Chinese children's king Michael reading grade five, he particularly clever, study is also very hard, because this result also is very good. In the school year ended and the result was not announced before, mike parents will give teachers a small gift

certificates and a thank you card thanks teacher in a year to mike's help. After a few days, year-end results announced, mike without a surprisingly high class, the result is far far higher than other students. A few of the students with lower scores of parents in heard that mike parents have to the teacher very angry after gifts, they think mike's result was the parents to the teacher bribes paid it.

Because China's gift in it is quite common, in order to pay homage to express gratitude, for friendship, want to people, and so on, can choose to give gifts, even civilians and officials, junior and superior, parents and teachers gifts between is normal things. But in the United States to have the public interest relationship between each other between the imagination of gifts to each other is more sensitive. Although mike parents just out of gratitude teacher

kindness and give gifts, but the teacher and mike announced results directly related, this time can't really give gifts is the American potential consciousness, if choose announced results in gifts before, then, yeah, it would involve the suspicion of bribery. So, some parents misunderstanding to doubt the result of the hard to avoid is mike. Another example:An American woman living in Wisconsin volunteered to tutor English to a Chinese woman who had moved into the same community. “Before each lesson, and on each and every visit,” the American reported, “the Chinese lady brought me a gift — a book, some paper sculpture, flowers, or candy. It was embarrassing。” Unknowingly, this American was experiencing a vestige of protocol rooted centuries deep in the Chinese culture。

In America, lavish, extravagant gifts are definitely out. An appropriate alternate to a gift is to take the deserving person to dinner, or to an entertainment or sporting event. On the contrary, gift giving is an institution and a revered custom in China. “gift giving is a necessity, not merely a nicety as in the West。” In China the proper gift is thought to express the giver's true friendship, gratitude, and respect far better than words can.

Of course, the western culture and eastern culture gifts or have many other behavior very big difference. First is gift ideas for the difference. The Chinese tend to pay attention to the present the essential meaning, namely its practical value, but don't like useless things. For new couples give gifts, the past is often feel, bed sheet, antependium, ZhuSheng for newborns, often sent packing elegant small clothes, are very inexpensive. Chinese New Year holiday even directly red

envelopes, and the more money on behalf of the more you have the sincerity.

While the westerners often pay attention to the gift of value. Exactly speaking, the Chinese to is gifts, and send the westerners is a souvenir. I was invited to western home.purchasing them, can give the hostess send a bouquet of flowers, male master to send in a bottle of wine. Still can take its own characteristics of small handicraft, an or each other like books, or a CD, or a wrote the book myself. I often buy some folk music in China folk songs or CD send westerners, the price is not expensive, general a CD in 20 yuan or so, but very popular.

In addition, in accepting gifts, Chinese and western reactions are completely different. In China, people accept gifts are often not jubilant, and do not open gifts face to face, that this would be very rude, but also to make "money", "greedy" impression, or let a person feel to accept gifts too seriously. Often in customer left, or back home quietly open gifts.

And in the west, people accept a gift, think of first is to thank. Therefore, in order to show my appreciation, they often can present carefully opened the gift, to praise at some kind of, excited when still hug you, and you also share happy. Sometimes in the wedding celebration, master will also send gift show a guest, to increase the effect of the festival.

Although China and the west on the gift be so cultural differences, but not that western culture must be superior in Chinese culture, also cannot say that Chinese culture show is a note of hypocrisy, western culture show frank side.

Since the world has various culture, the distinction between different culture is obivious, too. Such cross- cultural communication sometimes can be difficult. They are originated from misunderstanding, discrimination, or merely unfamiliar with other culture. The influences of such misunderstanding are usually negative. For instance, negotiation with foreign partners may be prevented due to lacking of relevant knowledge of their culture.Then what can we do to decrease, if can not eliminate such misunderstanding? First and foremost, it is fundermental to get in touch with different culture so as to know more. We can take advantage of network, as well as magzines and other materials to master more knowledge of other cultures.In this age, cross- cultural communication is inevitable. Thus, it is important and necessary to take part in such trend and communicate effectively.

Report of Culture Interview

We have done the interview on April 24, 2014 with Sophie from America. Culture is everywhere. It is a topic that we will never avoid. Maybe the concept of culture is abroad. But when divided into parts, it is simple for us to understand. Following I will explain my topic “Non-verbal Com(转载于:www.Zw2.cN 爱 作 文 网)munication” and “Global Marketing”

First, “Non-verbal Communication” While referred to non-verbal communication, we may strike to gestures, another word, body language. It means that we speak with our vocal organs we converse with our whole bodies. You may have seen some gestures, such as “victory” “happy” “sad”… Here I want to explain some gestures that I have learned from my foreign teacher who is from America. For example, put your middle finger on your index finger, which means “good luck”. Clapping with someone when you win a game or others, which means “well done”. Tapping your fist with others, which means “good friends”. Using your middle finger and index finger like a scissor before your eyes, which means “I see you”. Isn?t it interesting?

Sometimes the same gestures means different in different countries. If we can?t know othercountries ?culture. We may cause confusion in business. More seriously, we might lose important clients. I would suggest some strategies of dealing with non-verbal communication in business. First, do good homework on non-verbal before making business with people from different cultures. Better preparation would be reward with more agreeable interaction. Second, don?t take everything neither for granted nor too seriously. Third, focus on the partner?s behaviors and response so as to adjust one?s own behavior. Forth, ask for explanation or get a chance to explain. Second, “Global Marketing” Globalization has been an unavoided tendency. Through this we can touch something we haven?t ever seen in our country. Such as McDonald, KFC, Pepsi Cola, which have rolled up like a mat in China. Just McDonald, it is set up in 1950s, in 1987 entered China. It is obvious that it has been thriving over the past years. Before entering China, it has done full homework about Chinese lifestyle, eating habits, custom… in a word, culture. You can see the appearance of its special shops; they are respectively different in different countries. In China its main colors

are red and yellow, which fit Chinese tradition. And the slogan is also different. In China, “I?m lovein it”, which reveals that Chinese love family. Moreover, their special foods are almost different. Also in America, they mainly target low-salary people, but in China they aim to young people. All of these differences depend on culture shock. What is more important is localization. Localization means attach the local features to its own specialties. Just like McDonald, as it combines the local features with its own specialties, it has succeeded in world. Only brand features fit the native custom, the industry can operate well. Otherwise, it will exit the predicted market even lose it. As you know globalization strategies has transferred from 4Ps to 4Cs. A good brand strategy must concentrate on customer even potential market.
