Cultural Differences between China and the United States: The Perspective of Cultural Dimension Theory

The different social and cultural differences between China and the United States have led to differences in their values.This paper is based on Hofstede's cultural dimension theory, using the movie The Farewell as a research template, and analyzes the differences between China and the United States in life and death, family, and consumption perspectives from three aspects: power distance, individualism and collectivism, and long-term and short-term orientation.Through the above comparison, this paper hopes to face cultural differences briefly and to promote the harmonious development of Chinese and Western cultures on the basis of understanding the cultural differences between the two sides.
