第一篇：文化差異(英語講座)

I know much more about the differences between Americans and Chinese after listening to the lecture.What’s more, I surf on the Internet after class.As a result, I draw a conclusion, and here are the main points below.Firstly, we greet others in different ways.In America, people often employ the following expressions to greet each other: “Good morning/evening/afternoon.”“Fine day, isn’t it? ”” How is everything going?” and so on.Meanwhile in Chinese, we always say” Have you eaten yet?””What are you going to do?” or “Where have you been?”to show our greetings.Secondly, as we all know, both American and Chinese people have two kinds of personal names---a surname and a given name.But the order and the use of these names in the two languages are somewhat different.In Chinese, the surname comes first and then the given name while Americans names are written and spoken with the given name first and the family name last.Thirdly, Chinese prefer getting up and going to bed early.We usually go home early and cook meals, then we eat and watch TV, at last, we go to bed.We often work during the holidays , children often go to different spare schools to study.We like save money and when we have enough money, we then go and buy what we want.But in America, people live in a easy and happy live.They get up and go to work late , they go to pubs to have a rest after they finish their work and they enjoy their holidays.Thus, they seldom go to work during the weekend.Lastly, we eat food which is greatly different from Americans.We like cooking a lot of delicious dishes though Americans like eating hamburgers, chips, pizza, pasta as their main course.In short, we should know the differences well in that we can get along well with foreigners

With the rapidly growing popularity of science and technology, the process of globalization made great achievements.We have more chances to communicate with foreigners.Intercultural communicator has increasingly become a popular central issue of the public.To discuss this issue from cognitive perspective, western culture is based on individualism rather than on collectivism.For instance, in the US, you always talk about individual rights.This is clearly different in China where a country is placed above your own self.From the affect point of view, Chinese emotional expression is subtle but not directly.On the contrary, westerners express more enthusiastic.Furthermore, the Chinese people do not say yes or no, they are more accustomed to tactfully convey his meaning.No doubt, the Westerners would like to directly deliver how they think and what they want.In behavior, many behavioral differences are due to the impact of many aspects which cover environmental, cultural, historical and other factors.Do not ask for the age and income is a case in point.We should respect others.Respect for their privacy, their national culture, and religious beliefs.Second, we want to maintain friendly, and convey information clearly passed on through language or body language.Moreover, we just express ourselves in all sincerity and with warmth.Finally, the misunderstanding of cultural differences, we should learn to accommodate.

第三篇：中西方文化差異英語作文

Difference betweenChinese and Western cultures Undoubtedlythereare so many differences between Chinese and Western culture, such as manners, language and so many others.Maybe history is one of the major cause of it.Chinese culture is older than 5000 years, and Chinese people have developed their own music, musical instruments, painting techniques, traditional Chinese medicine, and not to forget, cooking methods as wellwhich is completely different and unique when compared to Western culture.So this time I’m going to pick some aspects and talk about it.Like what mentioned above, cooking methods of China is totally different from the westerns’.Not like west people, we have so many ways to deal with foods.It is said that there are more than fifty ways for a Chinesecook to choose every time he dealing withthe same kind offood.No wander to be a great cook in china you have to start training from young child.ComparedwithChinese, westerns seems to be more casual when they are cooking.They usually cook food by frying or stewing.Because they would like to put emphasis on food’s nutrition not the taste of it.When it comes to the aspect of men’s behavior, there is a vast difference in the rules of behavior between Chinese and Westerns.Westerns are more willing to change the environment rather than adapting themselves to it, which is opposite to Chinese people.Affected by the ancient philosophies of China, we believe in that we must get ourselves into one certain environment.For example, once we come into a new group, we are always told to follow others so that we can become one of it.But westerners would like to make them change and teach them to work in his way.Besides the behavior of people from two distinct culture, the realization of self-worth is different for Chinese and westerns.Affected by the Confucius’s philosophy from the ancient time.We believed that we should put our countryahead of our own interests.One can be respected only by making contribution for his country, like some war heroes.But westerns do respect those who succeed in his own lives.They believe that man who achieve goals of happiness and success by working hard is worth others’ respecting.Maybe that can explains why so many millionaire inChina can’t have the equal reputation compared to those westerns’.Anyway, Westerners usuallyfind the Chinese culture complex, and hard to understand, as the Chinese culture has its own values, background and belief system.

沃爾瑪屬于美國典型企業(yè)~~ 無論是到世界各地的任何一間沃爾瑪連鎖店中，你都會感受到一種強烈的與眾不同。這是長期以來形成的企業(yè)文化，是沃爾瑪精神——勤懇、節(jié)儉、活躍、創(chuàng)新。正因為此，每一位公司同仁都熱愛著沃爾瑪，默默地為服務顧客的事業(yè)而奉獻。

長期以來，沃爾瑪?shù)钠髽I(yè)文化使沃爾瑪公司的同仁緊緊團結在一起，他們朝氣蓬勃，團結友愛。下面是沃爾瑪公司特有的歡呼口號，從中可以感受到一種強烈的榮譽感和責任心。

山姆。沃爾頓曾經(jīng)說過，“因為我們工作如此辛苦，我們在工作過程中，都希望有輕松愉快的時候，使我們不用總是愁眉苦臉。這是?工作中吹口哨?的哲學，我們不僅僅會擁有輕松的心情，而且會因此將工作做得更好?！?/p>

第一，尊重個人。

沃爾瑪企業(yè)文化中崇尚的三個基本原則的第一條是“尊重個人”。沃爾瑪不只強調(diào)尊重顧客，提供一流的服務，而且還強調(diào)尊重公司的每一個人。在沃爾瑪內(nèi)部，雖然各級職員分工明確，但少有歧視現(xiàn)象。該公司一位前副董事長曾經(jīng)說，“我們是由具有奉獻精神、辛勤工作的普通人組成的群體，來到一起為的是實現(xiàn)杰出的目標。我們雖然有不同的背景、膚色、信仰，但堅信每一個人都應受到尊重和尊嚴的待遇”。

在沃爾瑪公司里，員工是最大的財富，他們有一套特殊的對待員工的政策，不稱員工為雇員，而稱之為合作者、同事，一線員工可以直接與主管以至總裁對話，而不必擔心報復。員工以佩帶“我們的員工與眾不同”的胸牌而自豪，充分體現(xiàn)了沃爾瑪?shù)莫毺貭I銷內(nèi)涵。

第二，加強團隊合作精神，鼓勵員工與領導者以及員工之間的溝通。

在連鎖經(jīng)營中，老板不可能事事親力親為，沃爾頓這位零售業(yè)巨子總是把事業(yè)的成功歸功于公司的同仁，他把員工看作是公司成功的最重要因素。他說：“要和同仁分享利潤，視同仁為伙伴，你們一起工作的成績將超乎你所能想象的，你的行為要象是一位為合伙人服務的的領導者?！币胱寙T工好好地招呼顧客，就先得好好地招呼他們。

沃爾頓的成功第七法則是這樣說的：“聆聽公司內(nèi)的每個人的意見，并設法讓他們暢所欲言，站在第一線的同仁，他們是真正和顧客談話的人，只有他們知道才發(fā)生了什么事，你最好知道他們所知道的事，這是全面管理的真正意義。將權下授，而下情可以上達，讓員工將好的構想提出來?！?，這便是沃爾瑪成功的秘訣。

第三，沃爾瑪建立良好的培訓機制。

培訓不僅是員工提高的途徑，也是他們了解公司的一種方法。沃爾瑪公司設立培訓圖書館，讓員工有機會新聞記者資料和其他部門的情況。所有員工進入沃爾瑪公司后，經(jīng)過崗位培訓，員工對公司的背景、福利制度以及規(guī)章制度等都會有更多的了解和體會。沃爾頓這位出色的領導者始終堅信員工是推動企業(yè)發(fā)展的原動力，并把這個道理傳授給沃爾瑪現(xiàn)在和未來的經(jīng)營者，推廣至世界各地的沃爾瑪。

沃爾頓把這些原則融入他所熱愛的事業(yè)中，把創(chuàng)新、熱情的工作精神注入沃爾瑪連鎖店，激發(fā)每一位員工的熱情和創(chuàng)造力，使沃爾瑪事業(yè)在激烈的競爭中一路領先。

曾有一位經(jīng)濟學家評論說：“沃爾瑪成功的第一步是通過低廉的價格商品和優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務去征服消費者，從而不斷擴大規(guī)模，并強化自身的規(guī)模優(yōu)勢。而其能夠成為世界第一大零售商的最關鍵一步，則是完成對整個連鎖網(wǎng)絡的整合，通過富有生命力的企業(yè)文化和現(xiàn)代化的技術設備，抵消了因規(guī)模過大則可能出現(xiàn)的兩大問題，即：管理成本過高或管理漏洞百出，使沃爾瑪總部能夠高效地控制整個網(wǎng)絡。中國企業(yè)文化發(fā)展趨勢評介

作者：牛正乾、李慶

隨著新世紀的到來，企業(yè)文化建設必將呈現(xiàn)出新的時代特征：

（一）企業(yè)文化對企業(yè)興衰、企業(yè)發(fā)展所起的作用將越來越顯著、越來越大

哈佛商學院的著名教授約翰·科特推出了一本很有名的《企業(yè)文化與經(jīng)營業(yè)績》的著作，提出了一個重要論斷，就是：企業(yè)文化對企業(yè)長期經(jīng)營業(yè)績有著重大的作用，在下一個十年內(nèi)企業(yè)文化很可能成為決定企業(yè)興衰的關鍵因素。企業(yè)興衰、企業(yè)發(fā)展當然是由多種因素形成的。但企業(yè)文化肯定對企業(yè)興衰是一個十分重要的因素。

我們常說企業(yè)文化是一種力，那么這個“力”有多大？這個“力”表現(xiàn)在哪些方面？從國內(nèi)外一些企業(yè)文化搞得好的企業(yè)來看，企業(yè)文化力，首先是凝聚力，第二是激勵力，第三是約束力，第四是導向力，第五是紐帶力，第六是輻射力。這六種“力”，也可以叫六種功能。企業(yè)文化的這六種力量、六大功能，在未來企業(yè)的發(fā)展中將越來越明顯、越來越強烈地表現(xiàn)出來。

(二)企業(yè)文化教育的發(fā)展同企業(yè)的經(jīng)營活動和管理創(chuàng)新將更加緊密地結合起來。企業(yè)文化將更為突出表現(xiàn)為它是一種市場經(jīng)濟中的微觀文化、企業(yè)經(jīng)營管理文化

過去人們常常把企業(yè)文化等同于企業(yè)文體活動，這是需要糾正的一個種片面的觀點。它只是企業(yè)文化的一個內(nèi)容，企業(yè)文化的核心內(nèi)容不在這里。企業(yè)文化是一個企業(yè)在長期經(jīng)營實踐中所凝結起來的一種文化氛圍、企業(yè)價值觀、企業(yè)精神、經(jīng)營境界和廣大員工所認同的道德規(guī)范和行為方式。明確企業(yè)文化的這些主要內(nèi)涵，這是十多年來大家所取得的一個共識。今后，企業(yè)文化將主要向著這個方面進行深化和拓展。我贊成科龍集團黨委副書記李棣強提出的“科龍”的文化管理是“將企業(yè)經(jīng)營理念和價值觀體現(xiàn)在企業(yè)管理制度中，體現(xiàn)在經(jīng)營實踐中，體現(xiàn)在員工的行為方式中，由此構成一個良好的組織氣氛，影響員工的工作積極性和凝聚力，以文化的力量推動企業(yè)的進一步發(fā)展?！边@樣就抓住了企業(yè)文化建設的實質(zhì)和根本內(nèi)涵。

------------------

(三)企業(yè)結盟取勝，實施雙贏戰(zhàn)略將必然要追求“文化溝通”和“雙贏思維”的發(fā)展

協(xié)作競爭、結盟取勝、雙贏模式，這是美國著名的麥肯齊咨詢公司提出的21世紀企業(yè)新戰(zhàn)略，他們專門推出了《協(xié)作型競爭》一書。

據(jù)國外資料估計，過去三年中，世界上大致有3.2萬家公司進行聯(lián)盟。這其中，有3/4是跨國聯(lián)盟。

特別引人注目的是今年美國在線與時代華納及5月份倫敦證券交易所與法蘭克福交易所結盟，還有世界上大汽車公司同因特網(wǎng)雙雙結盟，出現(xiàn)了“福特--雅虎”、“通用--在線”。

在國內(nèi)，最近，“東方通信”與諾基亞以優(yōu)勢資源進行協(xié)作。中國家電行業(yè)的兩巨頭“科龍”與“小天鵝”在電子商務方面達成合作協(xié)議?！翱讫垺鳖I導告別講到了新經(jīng)濟中融合與共享、競爭與合作的問題。合作結盟的目的有的是為了優(yōu)勢互補，資源共享；有的是為了彌補缺陷，分擔風險；有的是為了降低交易成本；有的是為了聯(lián)手角逐市場。結盟合作，實現(xiàn)雙贏的形式，也是多種多樣的。作為制造企業(yè)，既可以與供應商、與經(jīng)銷商結盟取勝，也可以與競爭對手協(xié)作結盟，實現(xiàn)雙贏。這種雙贏模式，不僅可以用在產(chǎn)品制造方面，也可以用市場營銷方面。“科龍”與“小天鵝”在電子商務上的合作也是個范例。但不管何種形式協(xié)作、結盟，雙贏模式都必須有文化溝通，有雙贏文化和雙贏智慧、雙贏思維方式。這種發(fā)展趨勢可能比人們今天預料的還要快，它將越來越受到重視。

(四)企業(yè)精神的概括和提煉更加富有個性特色和獨具的文化底蘊

以往，許多企業(yè)的企業(yè)精神常常用求實、創(chuàng)新、開拓、進取或加上拼搏這些詞語加以概括。應當說這些詞語都是好字眼，都很重要，但大家都用這些詞語表達，就失去了企業(yè)精神的鮮明個性和特色，變成了所謂工業(yè)企業(yè)中標準件的組合。這也就使某個企業(yè)的企業(yè)精神變成了所有企業(yè)共有的“企業(yè)界精神”。北京同仁堂的“濟世養(yǎng)生”、“炮制雖繁必不敢省人工，品味雖貴必不敢減物力”，一聽就知道是同仁堂所獨有的。杭州胡慶余堂“戒欺”，大家都知道這是胡慶余堂的企業(yè)精神。還有，寧波雅戈爾集團的“裝點人生，服務社會”，既有行業(yè)特點，又有獨具的文化底蘊。大連燃料總公司的“燃燒自己，溫暖他人”，也提煉得好，好就好在有行業(yè)特點，又體現(xiàn)了員工的奉獻精神。企業(yè)精神的概括和提煉，在表達上，將會越來越體現(xiàn)共性與個性的統(tǒng)一，突出個性，不求其全，但求其特，求其有獨具的文化魅力。

(五)在企業(yè)文化建設中，將更加注重企業(yè)精神、企業(yè)價值觀的人格化和“人企合一”的境界

價值觀是企業(yè)文化的核心，而“英雄人物”則是企業(yè)價值觀、企業(yè)精神的人格化。在“英雄人物”中有“共生英雄”的提法，值得重視。何為“共生英雄”？“他的心在企業(yè)，企業(yè)在他心中”。這就是企業(yè)“共生英雄”的概括。這樣的人，與企業(yè)同呼吸、同成長、同發(fā)展、共命運。從優(yōu)秀的企業(yè)文化建設來看，還不就是培養(yǎng)越來越多的“共生英雄”，實現(xiàn)“人企合一”的境界嗎？創(chuàng)造、構建這樣的文化氛圍，對于發(fā)揮員工的主動性、積極性、創(chuàng)造性極為重要。這個問題也會越來越引起重視。

------------------

(六)“學習型組織”的企業(yè)文化將更加受到關注

未來最成功的企業(yè)將是個“學習團體”，學習越來越成為企業(yè)生命的源泉?！氨饶愕母偁幷邔W得快的能力也許是惟一能保持的企業(yè)競爭優(yōu)勢”，這正在成為共識。所以要克服“學習智障”，企業(yè)每個人要學習，而且要變個人學習為企業(yè)團隊學習，使企業(yè)成為學習型組織。

學習不僅要掌握知識，而且要善于開發(fā)智力、開發(fā)智慧。因為智力、智慧以知識為基礎。有知識并不等于有智力。有了知識還需開發(fā)智力。那么，什么是智力呢？

據(jù)《智力全書》介紹，美國《教育心理學》雜志曾邀請了17位知名的心理學家，請他們每人為智力作出一個定義，以期集思廣益，一錘定音。然而事與愿違，他們各抒已見，結果在對智力的看法上有很大分歧。至今，國內(nèi)外心理學
