1 Before we go any further, let us say that we do not believe that either American or Chinese culture is monolithic. There are vast differences between Chinese students educated at international versus bilingual versus public versus rural schools. Additionally there are differences between younger students (such as 18 year-olds) and older students. On the American side, there is differences between how students see information in an undergraduate journalism class versus a graduate seminar.
