Culture between China and Western Countries
Abstract
This paper is to explore the differences in wedding culture between China and western countries. Based on the comparison of the different cultures existing between them, I will find out the interior factors and the reasons that produce such historical background. There are many aspects such as value orientation, religious views and behavior standards. Because there are many differences, and we all know that the trend of globalization becomes shaper today, and the globalization is important to our country’s economy, development and people’s life level. But these differences prevent the globalization and people’s communication and mixture. So we must understand the different cultures first, then we can find the solutions. As marriage is an important part of social life, so we can consider the wedding culture as a breakthrough point, and then analyze the different factors and reasons that prevent globalization. We can adopt many measures to reduce the disparity, such as improving teaching methods, emphasizing on students non-verbal communication ability, changing teachers’ way of thinking, blending of Chinese and Western Culture and so on. The above all may bring great significant values to both the West and the East countries.
In chapter one, a general introduction of the Chinese and western wedding culture's research is offered, and then the reasons that cause the difference of wedding ceremony culture is discussed, and the researches of forming the condition as well as the correlation theories are offered.
