摘要

This thesis compares the differences between Chinese and Americans in terms of their world view and value systems,and analyzes how these differences affect the behavioral patterns of people with different cultural backgrounds. It also proposes some suggestions to overcome the difference. As globalization is quickening its pace, world views and value systems, as the core of culture, profoundly affect people’s pattern of behavior. A deeper understanding and consciousness of the differences may promote a more effective communication between different cultural backgrounds. This thesis compares the differences between Chinese and US cultures from three perspectives: the different world view between Chinese and Americans, the different value systems between Chinese and Americans and how the two affect their behaviors. And some suggestions are also given.
