7. Do you think it’s necessary to be aware of the cultural differences and why?
8. Please tell us the some traditional symbolizations in Chinese culture.

Our cultural values and practices can be influenced by many factors, like other people’s influence, the society’s guidance and our own learning and thinking, Of course there are many other factors that make differences.
The people that influence us most in shaping our culture values and practices are our parents.
And our parents’ values directly affect our values. Because they accompany us from when we are
only a baby. They tell us what we can do and what we can’t, they teach us what kind of
friends we should make and what kind of friends we should keep away from. And they teach
us how to face the difficulties in life. Sometimes we may behave and think like our parents. The
parents who are well educated are more likely to raise well-educated children. And the mean
parents are difficult to have a generous child.
Society also has a great influence on our values. The society tell us that we should believe
the government and support the country, and the society’s law provide a set of rules for our
behaviors in the society, and if we break the rules we may punished by the law, so we should obey
the laws.
Besides, our values may change when we step in the society slowly. And some of our values
may be very different from what we believe before we get in touch with the society. For example, some people think everything is either right or wrong when they are only a child, but when they grow up, they will find that something is reasonable when it exists, and it is difficult to judge whether it is right or wrong.
However, it is ourselves that determines our culture values and practices. Because our values may easily change with our experience. The more we experience, the deeper we understand the world, and we also know better how to face and solve the problems that we meet in our daily life.
These are all my opinions.
That’s all, thank you!

这些思想对我们的生活，行为，沟通等都产生了深远的影响
消费观念，我们传统的消费观念时提倡节俭，量入为出，消费观念比较保守，
饮食观念，我们认为民以食为天，食以味为先，我们对吃很重视，强调食物的美味，我们吃饭是围坐一起，共享一席
婚姻观念，一般都讲百年好合，白头偕老。他们注重从一而终，所以都相当谨慎，他们往往会想得更远，考虑的更周到

交友观念，交朋友要慢慢了解，要交志同道合的朋友，交三观都比较正的朋友。
住房观念，中国人讲究认为稳定的居住环境很重要，所以很多人都会在工作生活的地方买房子，甚至有些男生因为买不起房而没办法和喜欢的女生结婚，而不是像西方国家的某些家庭一样能够接受租房子租住，
