English book Modern Chinese Cultural Encounters Volume I Studying and Traveling in China
About the book: This book aims to provide Americans studying or traveling in China with a unique perspective and a reference. Although all Chinese people in China share certain values, beliefs, and characteristics, it is important to acknowledge that there can be significant differences in how these are exhibited in different regions, situations, or people, because there are many subcultures within the Chinese culture. There are two parts to this book. Part I is a “cultural encounters” quiz which consists of two sections. In both sections multiple-choice questions illustrate common scenarios that foreign students or travelers are likely to experience when they are in China. Readers may use this part as a self-evaluation tool to measure their awareness of Chinese culture, especially with respect to studying or traveling there. Part II provides the answers and cultural briefings for the 100 encounters that were listed in Part I. 2011 book reviews on Modern Chinese Cultural Encounters Vol 1Review on Bookloons, an online book review site out of Canada.Customer Review on AmazonClick here to check which learning institutions have ordered this book.Order the book from www.amazon.com or any other online bookstores that carry it.
