This week comes to Yoyo and Katreena to
lead the class. They did a really organized presentation on the topic of “long-term
and short-term orientation”. They showed the difference between two from the
aspects of family, marriage, workplace and economic. If we had one-million
dollars, Chinese would like to save part of it while American would like to
spend it. I found that the people here in US like to text. When my classmate
here text me, the first thing I do is try to find them in whatsapp or other
online chatting apps. In Macau, I usually spent my days in the university and
home which are all wifi-covered. If I didn’t have network connection, in most
of time I was on street or riding motorbike. Therefore, whatsapp can almost
replace texting entirely in contacting me.
I was also impressed by a sentence
concluded about marriage in US. “There is no reason to stay together if we have
no love between”. It stated the truth that the divorce rate in US is higher in
China. I saw a TV show in China which invites couples and talks about their
problem in their love. There is one man come up the show and ask for
re-marriage to his ex-wife because of their children. It also shows that in
long term orientation countries, marriage means a lot more than love. Children’s
future could be one of the reason of that.
