Culture Gap - Education

Education

The education culture is the different education people receive in their life. A culture gap occurs when the people who have different culture background sit together and take the same class. Different people behave differently towards the teacher in class and also after class. Basically, the differences can be noticed in assessment method and the direction method of the class. The Asian students focus on the books and exercises a lot while the European and American students are willing to raise questions in the classes. The cultural gap in education is due to the different education mode in different regions and places. For example, the Asian students receive a kind of “exam-oriented education in their countries and the European and American students’ education is comparatively free and the students are strongly encouraged to challenge the teachers in class, which makes a big difference between the Asian students and Western students. China and Japan both have a strict education system and usually the exams are used to show a student’s ability while in American and Britain, the instructors graded a student according to his/her multiple ability. The two totally different education ways all have their pros and cons. However, they form the cultural gap between people. They people receive different education have different ways of thinking and analyzing things, which makes the views completely differently towards one thing.”
